is it just me or do gun powder units seem very useless in this game? I don't think its the mod, i think its the game itself.
what i mean is
1) in a shootout between archers and musketeers, archers always win.
2) when shooting at heavy infantries walking toward these ranged units, archers or even crossbow men always kill a lot more than the musketeers before the heavy infantries reach them.
granted that i used english longbow for the test, i still dont think archers should be better than musketeers in an open field battle. for the gun powder units, i used musketeers and janissaries. Both fail miserably compared to archers. There's a reason why gun powder units replaced archers in militaries all over the world. even if you argue that the english longbows are supposed to be the best, how can anyone explain why some crossbow men can do better than musketeers when facing incoming infantries?
does anyone agree with me that gun powder units should get a big big boost in terms of range and attack power? I think giving this new weapon a reason to replace the old ones makes more sense. At least make them as useful as the archers.
