    ETW is in gunpowder era NOT suited for melee warfare...apart from that the AI of ETW will be coded for gunpowder units and not so much for melee....So no it cant be done...

    Not that I'm supporting having EB2 in the new platform, which I don't, but there was still a ton of melee going on. In fact you might say that it was the last period where it still played a crucial part of the battle.

    Also, formations and AI's can be modded in M2TW, so I assume they would have the same thing on the next platform.

    Oh and as far as I know, there's boarding and ramming in naval battles. Just for the record.

    Sega will probably have it Pirates of the Caribbean style and have the soldiers swing onto the other boats with the rifle in their mouths.

    Thanks for the replies guys.

    From some of the comments made I get a hint that you modders would be unwilling to attempt an EB3 after your second masterpiece is completed. Is this the current feeling amongst you all? Or is that a question that has not been touched upon as of yet? I would love to see a continuation and expansion of EB as newer and "better" platforms emerge with which you can re/create your vision. The knowledge and entertainment gained from EB is priceless in my opinion and I greatly appreciate all the attention to detail and dedication. /endflattery

    I have no idea why you think the Ai will be tons better
    I said "hopefully" :P

    We're still trying to figure out how to make EB2 work. Speculating beyond that is just a little bit premature.

    "Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."

    It's common knowledge that all pirates had great teeth. Never seen Captain Blood with Errol Flynn? I mean, look at those pearly whites.

    Well, we can't blame them for eating healthy food everyday and brushing their teeth 3 times a day.
    BLARGH!
