Excellent mod - Couple of questions?

**Polemarch** · October 15, 2008, 06:04 AM

Hi all,

Excellent mod so far. Just installed it and thought I'd make a few observations:

1) There seems to be a fair amount of ACW era music, deliberate?
2) Musketeers don't seem to fire from castle walls
3) Campaign map is a little hard to make out due to faction colours etc

Hi,

1) There seems to be a fair amount of ACW era music, deliberate?

I presume you mean the battle music? It was quite hard to find fife and pipe tunes so I settled with more or less whatever I could find.

2) Musketeers don't seem to fire from castle walls

Yeah this is a problem inheritted from MED2. Hoepfully when buildings become editable it should be possible to lower the ramparts.

3) Campaign map is a little hard to make out due to faction colours etc

Hmm one side is red, one side is blue, other than white vs black it's hard to think of 2 more contrasting colours.

Cheers

Fair enough with the music. I have a pile of old English Civil War period MIDI files, not quite as exciting but they are the right kind of thing. Was just curious :-) Understood with the walls, thought as much. As for the colour, it is the problem with the factino colour dark blue and the sea, they kind of merge together.

Minor things though, the game is veyr good and the battles are slow and much, much more realistic.

Hi Polemarch,

Musketeers can see enemy units at short range but they can't fire on them (cf. AlphaDelta answer). If you use autofire, musketeers want to shoot to closer unit but they can't. So if you want to optimize musketeers fire from walls don't use autofire and select one by one enemy units at middle (or long) range and this will be a slaughter

MIDI's just sound so terrible when put next to live recordings.

I finally played it was real good loved it however

the music wasnt very tensionish for battles
battles end well to easily really fast battles not enough time to take time for some reason the enemy all ways see a need to charge. Also for some reason by battles are a bit buggy but i dont mind

I think you're in the wrong forum Nakharar lol. I've yet to play any mod with battles as slow as FKoC's.

Cheers

maybe the map would be easier to make out if each county had an outline color? maybe dark red and dark blue or just black for all? just a thought

if u stretch the musket unit out all the way they fire OUTWARD fine. Firing behind the wall (ie the enemy has breached ur walls) the DO NOT do. i actually find them quite usefull if ur walls hold long enough for them to get a few vollies off.
