    Default eagles and bagpipes

    Just wondering, has anyone already spotted an imperial eagle or scottish bagpipe in a battle?

    Screenshots please, I gotta wait a few days before I can have a look myself!

    I don't know if eagles are actually in-game, but if they are, they're only asthetic, no actual use at all

    As for Bagpipes, I think we're stuck with flutes for the moment (Not that that's a bad thing, mind)

    Unfortunately from what we've seen so far, no on both counts...

    Muahahahhahaha
    Read a napoleonic first hand account of a Hessian serving under the french flag

    Athenians: For ourselves, we shall not trouble you with specious pretenses - either of how we have a right to our empire because we overthrew the Mede, or are now attacking you because of wrong that you have done us- and make a long speech which would not be believed;.......... since you know as well as we do that right, as the world goes, is only in question between equals in power, while the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must.

    Actually I don't think he ever did, he said something like 'rest assured, you'll hear pipers' - but stopped short of specifying that they wouldn't be bagpipers!

    So...no eagles and bagpipes...that's a minor bummer. Looking at all the treats from the lucky Americans allready able to play I quess there's enough eye-candy in to make good for it

    I'm afraid it will be some time before I can play the game myself, pre-ordered with Amazon UK, no clue as to when they'll dispatch it

    Ive seen the eagle but not in a battle... it was a quest marker telling you where to move your army.

    Is that the eagle you guys are talking about?

    Thats odd even RTW had sort of an Eagle above the 1st legionary cohort units as losing one to the Romans was such a big thing, as the same was like with the French especially if a regiment lost an imperial eagle to the enemy.

    The last game that had bagpipes was the cossacks series lol can't forget that

    Well i hope they can be modded into the game with the right modding tools!!
