I would like to suggest an increase in range for the basic 6 pounder artillery, with the current 450 range, you cant even deploy your cannons before you begin the battle, you have to start the battle and then move them into position.
This however can take such a long time, usually, by the time my artillery is within range, i am allready pushing the AI back, i once went through an entire battle constantly moving forward, trying to get my artillery in a firing position without ever getting of one shot before the end of the battle,
You might say i could simply tech up to 12 pounders asap, because their range is 750, but that's another problem, i dont know much historical facts about artillery, but this difference in range seems like too much, also for some reason 12 have only 40 accuracy while the smaller cannons have 60+ accuracy, which also seems like too big a difference
I would also like to suggest changing the firing arc of cannons, angling slightly upwards because on flat terain you can barely go without hitting your own units in the back, this wouldnt be so bad if there where decent height differences in the maps, but 9 times out of 10 this seems absent from the map.
I know Darth found a way to add more height differences to maps, maybe this could be done here as well?
Sorry for my long post, i just hope someone with modding skill picks this up.
Cheers,
