70 range Light Dragoons, AM I ON CRACK?????????

[blonkers1234]

So light dragoons are now 70 range, looks like im gonna have to ban camel gunners cause of their OP 90 range.
Seriously though, its a welcome addition that they have done to late to have much of a substantional change of Empire MP with Napoleon around the corner..

now as long as the new DLC units arent op everything is pretty well balanced apart from the lack of elites for a couple of nations

[Spectre11B]

Yeah it was so nice to see this. I think it caught a few players off guard. Had a few do the normal rush to the flank, fire and retreat; just to get slammed in the rear by my light cavalry. Those twenty extra yards make a world of difference.

Great to know I wont have to do anymore ball room dancing and we can get down to doing manly things.

Looks like it's back into the closet for my tutu, then...

A welcome change for sure, I just hope my replays still work.

If they don't, just take out patch 4 from data folder and will revert back to pre patch so replays will be compatible.

Just got around to try that, works nicely.
+rep, without this my latest vid wouldn't have been possible

Celebratory crack, nothing like it.

No more magical carbines!

They haven't fired the price balance intern yet though, so we will still be able to spot when a player is drunk: i.e. he fields regular goons. Always good for a laugh when a friend does that.

I think I remember one of the games where I did that =)

[RomulusAugustus]

Wow, I played three games and didnt even notice.

[Keiichi]

Oh wow, I played 3 games tonight without even realizing that! Well, I played as France and my opponents were a bit unskilled, so their dragoons never really got the chance to fire. That's my excuse for not noticing...

Still, great to hear that CA was listening and thanks so much for bringing it to our attention!

[Valkierei]

lol they actually became more powerful vs cavalry cus of their nearer range when they fire at will, and their higher accuracy. they have 50 accuracy now.

but i do love how they cant skirmish lines without getting shot now =p <3

yes i agree with you!

[Turumba]

I find it a loss. I was quite happy to have 2 Dragoons and annoy my opponent... but yes, what is skirmishing to battle, what is a nice prelude to sex. Who needs these things...

There are several other chances, or?

Fraser´s Ranger cost 580 instead of 380 and have 90 range now.
Royal Welsch Fusiliers cost 710 instead of 640(?).
Morgans Rifles cost 720 instead of, dont know, very cheap...

Yea, the patch added a few little balancing additions.

theyve always had accuracy 50

[Warriorset]

Why isn´t CA reporting these changes?

[aletoledo]

While I welcome the change, it seems that there is no point to ever dismount a light dragoon. Seems odd for it to be that way. I was kinda hoping the range magically went to 90 when they dismounted.

The normal dragoons have fire by rank, which I guess I never noticed before (or it's a new addition). I wish someone would develop a use for them while dismounted, because the ottomans now seem to have a boatload of dismountable units.

Dragoons had fire by rank since launch, but Jack Lusted became concerned that having that skill would make people actually consider using dragoons so he removed it in patch 1.3, I think it was. He then had a change of heart and brought it back in 1.4.

[Von Kickyourass]

Indeed

[spiderman101]

Sweet, I'v been playing and never noticed lol
