Suggestions for ETW improvement

[Sinjen]

I have a few ideas how to improve things. One thing that bugs me is when I have a unit of Household cavalry and I'm distracted elsewhere and they sit there and allow themselves to be decimated by ranged fire without reacting.

I suggest the captain of each unit have some ai so that if they are fired on by a mob of firelocks they take it upon themselves to charge and disperse them rather than just sit there and get owned by peasants.

Another AI suggestion is that you allow an option for cannons to automatically switch to grape when their target comes within range.

Third add captain ai for ships so that when their target is eliminated they don't go idle but instead seek out a new target and engage.

These things would help old folks like me to control our armies and fleets.

If they really wanted to get in depth, they could add stats and traits for unit/ship captains and give you a choice of which one you promote to general/Admiral. That way you can reward those officers who excell.

What do you think? Lets discuss.

hmmm well one problem with units under your control having some ai would be that they might charge out and get decimated lol
i like the idea about the ship ai though along with the promotion system
sadly i think they have many other things to improve b4 they would be able to adress things like these lol

Yes I considered that. Would need an option to order them to stay still. Well we can always hope for improvements.
