    Default I am probably a dork for pointing this out but . . .

    Did anyone else notice that the lock on the musket that the soldier is carrying is on the wrong side?

    The lock is on the left side of the wespon when it should be on the right.

    I thought at first that the artwork was printed backwards, but then noticed that the strap to his cartridge box in on the correct shoulder.

    Muskets don't even have straps in-game!

    I don't think you're a dork. Total War players pay attention to details - is that kind of game.
    "Whose motorcycle is this?", "It's a chopper, baby.", "Whose chopper is this?", "Zed's.", "Who's Zed?", "Zed's dead baby. Zed's dead." - Butch and Fabienne ride off into the sunset in Pulp Fiction.

    Yes I agree but there is a difference between important details like glitchy graphics or bugs in game and saying the rifle isnt the right colour or there wearing the wrong hat or something which doesnt actually affect the game as such. Players with too much time on there hands if you ask me.

    Well, actually there was a gunsmith in Goat Knuckle, New Hampshire that made Charleville Model Muskets with the lock on the left side because most of the citizens of Tree Rot Township were left handed. There is no sling because the famed Goat Knuckle Light Infantry Regiment had a tradition of not recognizing "Sling Arms" as a legitimate drill movement
    Abandon all hope.

    Did anyone else notice that when you get the percussion cap upgrade the ingame models are still using flints.

    Tsk!

    I didn't, but I'm still trying to zoom close enough to be sure that the flints in the locks are bevel-up.
