It's just me then, apperently.
But another question: Does the weather affect your/the ennemies units in any noticable way?

Deadguy, you can still use hills to a great extend as it should extend the range of your guns.

Yes, weather does affect at least stamina. Can't remember clearly if morale is affected.

Does rain affect the chances of musket misfire? I can't tell because India's rain is so godawfully heavy that it significantly obscures the screen's visibility.

they said it would, and there are a few bonuses in the game to stop said musket misfires, but I've never seen a misfire, nor have I ever seen it blowing up in someones face like they said it would.

I don't know if it works in vanilla, but muskets misfire quite often in darthmod. From what I can tell, they don't explode, but rather, just don't fire. The soldier just has to wait for the next volley and try it again, or, if in an irregular/non-volley unit, just keep fiddling with the musket until it works.

perhaps darthmod significantly increases the chance of it? im sure theres an easily editable stat.

Yeah, they probably do. However, the list of changes in darthmod was so long that it's impossible to remember.

I am also too lazy to open a browser, go ALL the way to TWC and provide a link just for you. Sooo not worth it.

I see it all the time, both in vanilla and in TROM. It's only really noticeable before you research firing technologies such as fire by rank or platoon firing. Whenever the whole unit fires a volley, and it seems like a few men fire late, it's because the soldier's musket misfired, so he sort of checked it, then tried to fire again. I haven't noticed weather affecting misfires by much.

Actually, right after I posted that, I assaulted Christiania in Norway. I deployed on a, by ETW standards, very steep slope with lots of ridges. I tried setting my cannons further up the hill, they weren't a lot farther away from the enemy because of the steep hill but a lot higher up. The range of cannons and howitzers was at least not affected at all by being higher up. But yeah, at least their field of fire was less obstructed. I don't know about muskets, I haven't noticed a difference personally.
