One is the type to get you killed for no reason, the other gets you killed for a flag or a mad reason like that.
Can't remember which is which.
They could have a lot of fun with this mod... Sharpe and Hornblower are both set in this period, they could implement subtle (or not so subtle) tributes to them or something.

I remember seeing one episode of Black Adder and thinking British comedy was a little on the eccentric side...

Re: Easter eggs which simply must be in NTW
Blackadder surely is a hilarious comedy, even if a tad eccentric. I endorse these Easter Eggs!
