If you're saying the 18th century is that then thats like saying the time of the romans was just charging and stabbing at each other. Play the Napoleonic Total War mod for rome, since it was online only tactics were fantastic.

Two words:

!!-NAVAL BATTLES-!!

I'm hoping that u will have the ability to make your own custom ship.
just one, the one that leads the navy

Well I WAS looking forward too the American civil War but I guess mow I will have to look forward too The American Revolution.

As BoyarPunk's said, please fix the succession. I hate how in MTW2 that for some strage reason the new Prince is totally unrelated to the previous king. It makes roleplaying very difficult to say the least(especially in AAR's).

I'm looking forward to a game that not just looks, but plays like the era it takes place in. I'm looking forward to real armies led by competent generals making a campaign at my lands, and not just dozens of rag-tag suicide squads milling about without a purpose. I'm looking forward to cohesive, organized lines of men doing battle with my troops as though they were a part of one large unit, as opposed to a mess of overlapping fools shooting diagonally and disregarding their comrades. I'm looking forward to a game where diplomacy has more meaning than "trading rights".

Finally, I'm looking forward to a game where conquering a far away city of an entirely different culture and religion does not enable me to immediately begin producing the best crack soldiers of my own nation just because that city had some buildings of equivalent tech level.

The good thing about the time period is that it might force CA to have realistic speeds on the battlefield. All units will have to move slower to make set piece battles that really look nice. If infantry can hustle like they do in M2 (and worse in Rome) then battles would quickly degenerate into melee, I imagine.

CA, will units on board ships be present in naval battles?

I mean, if you have a couple of units of musketeers on your fleet when it gets attacked, will they actually be on board the ships and be able to fight during the battle?
