You really think cannons moved with such speed and grace as an M1 Abrams tank? C'mon. You are embarking on one the top 5 Total War mods ever created.
Your worried about your 3 Spanish units taking so long to rout 1 British unit? When those " limey" bastards were renown for their high morale and discipline in battle at that time, and those kind of things are reflected in unit stats. You see where I'm going with this?
This is not a mod where your going to steamroll over anything you want. You better know your units, their strengths and weaknesses. This mod is about tactics and employing them properly.
Wait till you gain the courage to face a human opponent.You think you had a rough time with 1 British line unit? Wait till you were not paying attention while picking your units in the pre battle menu, and you picked units that can't square. All of a sudden, here comes some Grognard like Melet, coming at you with French heavy cav, and you can't square. Nor do you have the frame of mind to get into position to offer that cav with a full frontal line volley, your " F, d." Or wait till you have to try and take on the " SIGGY BLOB" with inferior line infantry units.
Long and short of it is, this is not Darthmod, nor vanilla, nor any other variation of NTW that does not concentrate on tactical advantages/disadvantages. Good luck and welcome to the best there is in Napoleonic Gaming Warfare.
