    Is it just me or are the British Units on NTW pretty poor in variety then on ETW. ETW has nealy double the amount of playable British units compare to NTW?

    Ah but there will be always the DLCs
    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.

    Part of the Melian Dialogue in The History of the Pelopenessian War by Thucydides.

    The problem is with DLC and the MOAR units debate in general is that it tends to revolve around one-off units. To be honest I find that these don't add to the game very much at all because they don't tend to be different enough to affect the strategy much, particularly as there is only usually one of them, and I don't get particularly invested in wanting them to survive because ultimately they aren't any more mine than any of the other regiments. What I'd like to see are more subtle unit variations that can be expressed on a larger scale, or better yet the ability to focus training to order. Seems odd that as supreme ruler I can send the army off round the world but I can't ask that they spend a bit more time on their bayonet drills.
