You've all misread "300+ new units"...

I believe that after seeing the latest screen shots we've all misinterpreted CA. They arent talking about 300+ new full units, they mean 300 individual units. E.g. the diversity of a unit of line infantry may well make up 5 units.

I dont know whether this is good or bad

Sly CA.

Awesome, we got "foot" and "fusiliers" and then it will be shared by 150 countries!

Nope. Everything's different between factions. "Line Infantry" with color-swapped coat is dead.

ca double speak, again.

I'd like to know how someone who understands English fully can misunderstand "The game will have 360 (or whatever) units."

In what way does that mean the major factions will have 360 units between them, or every faction will have 360 units each, or there are 360 naval units too, etc. or any other equally illogical conclusion some claim to have come to?

"The game will have 360 units" = there are that many units total in the game.

what? They did this with ETW, they said there were X amount of units and then they counted each nations line infantry that had a color swap as an individual unit.

The fact that an reasonable person thinks that different colored line infantry are not a different unit but simply a palette swapped one.

They're not palette swaps this time, slugger.

300 new units from etw?

My friend has lots of weird campaigns, I usually get the cookie-cutter ones. Sweden takes out Denmark, Prussia conquers Germany, Maratha wins, nothing happens on the Austrian/Ottoman front, France does pretty much nothing, etc.

OK guys, I realize I may normally be a voice for cynicism and all that, but Graphic's got it here.

The units are different. They've even got different names. They're not just recolors. Different textures and models, not just recolors.

I can't fault CA for that one

To be honest CAs "350 units" line could mean anything from diffrent random veriations in a unit to in all the factions rosters together.And also is it unique or are they counting dueplicates?

350+ different land and naval units in the game. Don't you get it ?

And 10,000+ men in each battle lol

The 300+ units are with or without the 60 different faces?

355 units: there are 11 factions, so 355/11= 32 UNIT PER ARMY, there are infantry, cavalry, artillery, ships so 32/4=8
There are some troops available only for historical battles like waterloo, Lodi (polish or swiss infantry for example) , there is the revolutionnary period and the period of the empire, witch means that you can divide again your number of units...

SO I AM NOT SURPRISED, IT WAS MORE OR LESS WHAT I HAD CALCULATED BEFORE SEIING THE NEw ScRENNshots.

I think that some factions fought with more soldiers than others so its normal there are more units for the austrians, french, russians, british, prussians than for portuguese, sweddish, danish, spanish... I just found prussian army had not a lot of units for infantry.
If they give to us the uniform editor we can do more units, for example for the prussians, you take the line infantry uniform and turn it in green and you have "chasseur" infantry (was the same uniform, one blue, the other green).

oh yea and revolutionary AI oh wait .. im being fooled again
