CWC Banning

[Kenchi_Sulla]

Tomi,

Had to reply to your following comment in CWC forum


This brings up another point that I think you all should consider in your negotiations, and that is a 4 max on any unit.

An army of Light Infantry would not be a thing I would want to face.


Melee them!

Problem solved

ps I saw that light infantry bug before. You could use it as a exploit, but its really a bug...

Paolai - that guy cheated.
Niesmiertelnik is player you could believe on word.
If he says that somone cheated - he is right.

Sulla - I'm not sure about this limit. Light infantry shots perfectly but catched meele is useless.
Instead of banning light infantry we should rather learn light cavarly tactic again.

Tomi,

ps I saw that light infantry bug before. You could use it as a exploit, but its really a bug...

A range of over 300 meters would be a cheat.

I personally spent hours testing all of the options, watched all of the replays and the video presented, and found nothing to support the extreme distance seen in the screenshot.

If it were a bug, it would have to have program consistency and show up somewhere else, it never did!

Sulla described bug - I saw it today but it would work with special conditions:
1. enemy unit has to enter range and left it (considering range on that screen line infantry would have to ran at least 350 metres (300 metres x 2 - at leats 125 x 2 = 350 metres).
2. your units starts firing
3. enemy leave range

However despite bug mentioned - 2 or 3 shots of 1 light infantry unit would not kill 50% of heavy infantry unit

Something else disturbing…true range

This rifle was an accurate weapon for its day with reported kills being taken from 100 to 300 yards away. During the Peninsula War, Rifleman Thomas Plunkett of the 1st Battalion, 95th Rifles shot the French General Auguste-Marie-François Colbert at a range that may have been even greater. He then shot a second French officer who rode to the general's aid, proving that this was not just a lucky shot. By comparison, a standard issue Brown Bess musket was unlikely to hit a man-sized target at ranges beyond 80 yards.

True range is unimportant in Total War or artillery would fire across the whole map

Very true, a scaled down war

The game range of 125 meter spec is plenty far enough in my book.



I wished very much that the players or the Clan leadership would have responded, saying that it was a bug, that they had not modified their game.

But there was nothing but silence; even now we have heard no one denying the alleged charges.

It may be a language thing?

But it is very unusual for some one not to come to their own defense.

Anyone have thoughts on this?

[Kenchi_Sulla]

It could be a language thing but they entered the CWC, so that shouldnt be a big issue then?

can't crucify the unconvicted though.... especially if they are not talking....
