    Default NTW Multiplayer, CA read before it's too late

    Different resources for the two factions

    Limited ammos for artillery (there's a column present in DB so I see no point in making unlimited by default, just put it to 1000 and let modders modify that value if they like)

    Make artillery not a whole big box when moving, instead divide them in horses, gun, train, casson. Losing a whole gun because one horse become injuried is simply unbelievable.

    Restricted camera option

    Square speed formation moddable

    Add a column bonus for speed and morale (column defined by more than 5 ranks)...it's napoleon total war by the way and attack column was one of his best tactic implementation

    Agreed, but you can already limit the artillery ammo.

    I would also like the Multiplayer to have enhanced customisation. Right now, you never know if the person playing your "No Art" game isn't going to spam mortars. We need a check-list type system so we can truly customise the battles and cut out cheating.

    Agreed.

    BTW, I tried limiting artillery ammo in preferences, didn`t work.

    Square speed moddable and column are by far the most relevant aspects, pretending to make a true napoleonic battle without those two is impossible.

    Miracles do not happen with CA, only DLC consisting of unit packs.
    The extra development time will allow us to finalize and polish Empire, making it the most accomplished and epic of the Total War series." said Kieran Brigden, Studio Communications Manager at The Creative Assembly. "There is a great deal of anticipation around Empire: Total War and we want to ensure that it is the benchmark for strategy games upon its release.

    I'm afraid of that. But it makes me wonder if that's really what people have been asking for. Maybe yes judging all those posts asking for tons of faces and beards, for more or less shining uniforms, for craters opened by cannonballs...
    Maybe is the targeted people who have been changed in the last years. The hard core players of Shogun and RTW grown up and become more pretending in term of realism and tactics, while CA still points towards the casual gamer who buys the game, plays for a month or two, buys some more shining uniforms and then passes on to another game. Maybe it's our fault, not their...
