    i have to admit this doesnt instill me with confidence, the fact that the infantry wouldnt even advance against cannons. if this is how the game plays out all the time most battles will be incredibly boring....i really hope this was just made so we could see artillery in action and see their power.

    Scripted reconstruction of Valmy.

    I hope many battles in ETW are like this, the fight-to-the-death battles of previous TW games where the loser was annihilated were not very realistic.

    Well considering there will be less armies I'd imagine more battles will play out like this. I think its a good thing, at least for the 'unit naming system' considering it would be a useless feature if 100 armies were all over the map.

    I don't think infantry will not advance against cannons in the real game. I believe it was just made to look like that in this video so that the battle would follow the accuracy of what historically happened. If you watch towards the end of the video, the Prussian infantry is pulled back by a player.

    However it didn't really work in this battle.

    My question is did this happen in the video because it was a historical battle or because the AI thought it was a good idea? Because it really wasn't (and the AI should be smart enough to see that columns into arty fire is a terrible idea).

    Well it's a historical battle from what I understood so the AI is no doubt scripted to behave in such a fashion.
    If not then I suppose that it's a cool thing that they have added historical tactics used by certain factions.
    Of course the real question is, where did they find this video ??
