Patch, Updates and New Material

Change log:

NEW FACTION

-Britain: The British faction relies on it's defensive capabilities. Their infantry is trained to shoot accurately resulting is high musket fire damage for all their standard line infantry. In additional, they have access to units of riflemen, experienced marksmen who can shoot accurately way beyound musket range. These units can force an enemy to come out and attack. Their selection of cavalry and artillery is rather limited, but their 9 pounders have a larger canister range.

NEW UNITS

-French Middle Guard: Almost identical to the former Old Guard unit, the latter now have higher morale and inspire nearby troops but are MUCH more expensive
-French Red Lancers: Simular to the Polish Guard lances, but lightly less attack and slightly better defense
-Russian Unicorn Artillery: Can fire round-shot and howitzer shells - no canister
-20 British units

NEW MAPS

-Flanders Fields: a map set in the new European climate, open fields with lots of villages
-Hilltop Havoc: also set in the new climate, featuring a large hill in the middle of the map with a village on top of it
-6 (unofficial) maps made by community members

It should work. :)

im so glad that you guys decided to include the hanging smoke.... oh and the rockets are great fun... lol its so awesome to see the stream of smoke the rocket leaves once it exits the artillery unit.....

I love the british, great job guys. Also, about the rockets, the sound effects, the trail everything is great. But there seems to be no impact sfx in place at all. Is this intentional or a bug?

Just remember, the lingering smoke can create some serious lag, so look around the field a lot to prevent it.

it's a bug, I intended to alter the effect but never noticed it disappeared completly :P

@SweetDreamz

Thanks m8.

LZoF

it didnt disapear completely you actually have to go to where the rocket hits the ground and its there but barely.

The floating buildings aren't gone. At least in the battle map editor they still occur. The new smoke is very good and is not such a fps killer as you mentioned. The new faction is great. Having a lot of fun right now. Thanks again for this great mod.

Noticed something about the description of the British Highlanders, it isn't about them. It's about the hussars instead. Maybe fix it for the next version.

Yes, it will be fixed in the next release, we also forgot to add al the British general names, for now you have only Wellington. :tooth:

The FTPs are ready to go and your command LZof!

Thanks m8, I have put the link up already.

LZoF

so i dont see a waterloo map is there supposed to be one or have i miss understood? but i must say i love the floating roads!!!

yes the waterloo map wasnt going to be in this pack (i think) but if you check the screenshots thread LzoF shown screenshots of the new building model that they're making that they're gonna use for the waterloo map when the United Dutch-Netherland pack is released
