    Realistic definitely. Cinematic portrayals frequently appear retarded. For instance, everyone lines up like toy soldiers, one side fires a volley, then they wait about 30 feet away for the other side to fire a volley, then they charge. If one is going to charge it should obviously be done before the other side shoots you in the face.

    I would hope that there is a proper skirmishing system, e.g. that if one sends a column on the attack some of its members will detach to form a continually replenished defensive vidette around it.

    I'd like battles being more realistic insted of cinematic too.......becuase, I think, even though its a game, but nothing can beat authenticity.......

    Can u comment on the use of secondary weapons then?
    1. Will inf use bajonets after they run out of ammo, or when ordered too?
    2. Will cav use sabres after their pistols has run dry?
    3. Will art personell pick up a rifle/ pistol when their cannon ammo is depleted?

    4. Will u incl battlefield fortifications placeable by certain units?


    How about movement?
    5. Can units move sideways, left-right-back, still facing the enemy or a fixed direction? (This feat is the most important one IMHO. It´s utterly unrealistic as it is now where the units rotate around their centers when moving sideways)

    6. In Kingdoms u introduced permanent forts which is great but I still think you should be able to build temp.forts too. Any insight on that?


    Thx

    You have already said too much.

    Gentlemen should exercise caution and wear stout-sided boots when using the Fintry-Kyle Escape Apparatus. Ladies, children, servants and those of a nervous disposition should be strongly encouraged to seek other means of hurried egress.

    Intrepid, seems like you should have checked with Marketing before commenting about having to check with Marketing.

    Pshaw! I'm not in marketing. I'm much more dangerous than that.

    Actually, now that I see it, it wouldn't have been too bad that way.

    Anyway, my lesson learned is to not cross swords with the Capt'n.

    I'd say a mix of both.
