I've seen the same thing, corps and division commanders far away often riding AWAY from the action, while their units are in the fight.

<t> I hope they'll stick to the last 500 years if history.<br/>
<br/>
Tactically speaking medieval snd ancients are simple, while not super6 simple like i used to think. Its still quite basic.<br/>
<br/>
I can see the 30 years war work. All wars from late 1600s to napoleonic period.<br/>
<br ...

<t> A few points <br/>
<br/>
1. Total war deals with a maximum of 40 units pr side. If sow did that I'm sure each unit would mach and wheel perfectly. Instead it deals with sevral hundred, possibly thousands. <br/>
2. Total war units have 1 formation (same formation no mater how deep or wide you ...

<r> A few Points.<br/>
<br/>
1. Made use of heavy cav in the charge of the <B><s>[b]</s>LIGHT<e>[/b]</e></B> brigade.<br/>
2. Light brigade was british not french.<br/>
3. it was not rifles(russians didn't have any) nor any longer range of artillery(was not that much longer then Napoleonic) but ...

<t> There were almost no bayonet kills in the napoleonic wars. With the exception of fighting in towns and redouts. Infantry almost never made contact with other infantry.<br/>
cavalry was used effectively in the fpw, infact the last great cavalry charge in that war was so effective, people ...

<t> American war of independence = AWI<br/>
<br/>
Ok a list.<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
1.The rifiled musket could hit a man at 600 yards, probebly only 1 man out of 100 could do it, so a regiment of 600 men would get 6 hits, lets say 10 because if random bullets getting lucky. <br/>
<br/>
2. If the ...

<t> Nope, terrain, same terrain as awi, same lack of cav.<br/>
<br/>
You dont need to form square if you are in the woods, and during the acw many battles were fought fully or partly in woods, or in hills, or woody hills, or with streams and rivers.<br/>
<br/>
Same terrain as awi.<br/>
<br ...

Cpu is more important then graphics card for this game, that said on board gpus are never a good thing.

I understood the reason of different tactical cav use was the Minié bullet.<br/>
The aim of Napoleonic muskets (and their users) was terrible. Cavalry could survive a charge on infantry even in square without too many losses.<br/>
<br ...

<t> American civil war battle was an infantry thing, with arty coming in second and cav a distant 9th.<br/>
<br/>
Napoleonic wars was a combined ghing with all 3 branches working close.<br/>
<br/>
Of course, not all battles were like that, some battles were mostly infantry affairs with some ...

Line of sight means you can see the enemy and they can see you. Doesn't mean Wellington and Napoleon have to wake up in bed together. The distance could easily be doubled and it would still be line of sight.

<t> The british like the french did use columns, but like the french it was almost always a mix of line and columns.<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
I can't find it online, but I'm quite sure from my salamanca book by rory muir it shows british in mixed line/column formation.<br/>
<br/>
Very much like my ...

Coloumn of division/compnaies ect are in the game, it varries how much it is used.

When you order a cavalry unit to charge they will charge the nearest unit. If they are left to AI control they will almost never charge a square.

Mine often do, they seem to be "testing" the squares ...

I listed games in which the graphical element works well. I'm sure you understand that really, but you clearly prefer point scoring and defending SoW at all costs to any kind of rational discussion.<br/>

I'm afraid that you're not ...

The ai is improved alot, but it's the same type of ai, if you didn't like gettysburg, you probably won't like this either

Because if you start mention troops numbers ect. the forum thinks you are adding phone numbers, and won't let you post, and it doesn't save your post, and so you have to write a totaly new post.

<t> Especially sand box campaign, just a toogle, i get some people don't want to fight the whole battle, but when i bring my army to battle i want to see tge conclusion!<br/>
<br/>
So for sandbox campaign. Add two toogles.<br/>
<br/>
1. Remove max score, it can still show the score, but battle ...

<t> It scales perfectly, ram and gpu has almost no effect, the game does not run any better with a gtx 970 then a gtx 570.<br/>
<br/>
Its all about the cpu.<br/>
<br/>
My 3.5ghz quadcore gets me 12-15 fps on the full waterloo battle, sprite ratio or view distance has little effect on fps.<br ...
