The encouraging from the general is cool and the optimization of the game is better too than ETW so i would say "its worth it". I´m having a blast with it.
    cannons suck agains infantry... but are annihilating vs cav... howitzer pretty much destroy everything, esspecially those unicorns!

    Oh, I wouldn't say they are too bad against infantry. They are better than they were and it will force a defender to advance against the guns.

    The canister is working better too. All in all arty is more deadly in this than it was in ETW.

    edit: but if you just mean ETW, then yes, you are right.

    well they are annoying because the target your general. so thats why i always take them out. and if they have howitzers they are annoying too but also dangerous so i have to take them out. cannon using grapeshots are letal vs infantry (also cav btw). they rip them to pieces. pretty much the only thing cannon isnt very good against is cannon. (and hussars, but you are a fool if you dont protect your cannon)

    I do seem to have a memory of you using howitzers against some blocks of infantry...in this room. On the computer right next to where I am sitting.
