Things C.a Did Not Tell Us About the New Patch

I just thought it would be good to put together a list of things that Ca did not tell us for example

-Fougasse is fixed
-Shrapnel shot from howitzers is no longer indirect to watch out when placing them behind infantry (good for Mp )

Any others people have noticed?

So the fougasse is fixed?

What?

You mean that now howitzers shot direct fire?

Fougasse is the basic mines placeable by light infantry which was not possible before the patch.

Howizers used to fire grapeshot upwards over units but now it fires it far more realisticly as if it was a cannon directly.

Let a light infantry unit sit one the same spot for a few turns.

Yep. Howitzers now can only fire explosives in a curve manner. They fire canister like normal cannons.

Wasn't it the same before? O_o
However:

- Grenadiers now have decent Reload skill levels.
- Batteries have one more piece of artillery each.

Oh, and also...

Great Britain

- King's German Legion units are now limited to 2 per type.
- Foot costs 760 instead of 770.

They improved Grenadiers making them not useless now. However, their price is still high because of (I asume) their useless and historically inaccurate grenade ability.

So they're still not worth taking really, almost the same shooting stats as guards, same price basically, slightly better melee in some cases but often not and A LOT less men.


Edit: Fougasse is single player only, right?

-France can now recruit Swiss Line Infantry (Obvious)

Russian infantry is rebalanced.

They all became slightly more expensive.
They were given crazy charge bonus (line infantry has 20 charge bonus)
All infantry has their reloading stat increased by 5
All infantry has their melee stat decreased by 2
All infantry has their defense stat increased by 3

Russian guards has accuracy and reloading 55/85 like the british guards.

This should be fun.

Ambient effects have had their size reduced (e.g leaves and cgrass blades which float about).

Kgl have been retextured.

Do you sure you see it on MP not from the campaign?
Because I saw they retextured Polish Legion too, but just only in Campaign
Not sure though just asking

Has anybody noticed if the white uniform bug has been fixed?

Yes, it was mentioned in the change log. Go to steam and right click on NTW and click view news to see the entire list.

YAY!!!! I can finally play a campaign....

-the 'limber' button has also received the added ability to 'euthanize horses' in horse artillery units

No, really! Horse artillery was given an extra gun, but the gun crew was not redistributed like it was for foot artillery units. So you have six riderless horses dragging the spare gun, unlimber and the extra gun just sits there unused.

Go to limber up, and the horses that were dragging the extra gun simply die instantly () while the rest of the gun crew mounts up properly. In terms of unit balance, this isn't a bad thing (foot artillery has more firepower, horse artillery has superior mobility), but in terms of presentation? It's pretty silly.

A nasty red bkg appeared, just like the Warpathy period from ETW.

The background reminds me of spicy Mexican food.
But yes, I do sort of miss the early era Spanish. I'm pretty sure it's easy enough to fix, anyway. All you'd need to do is unlock Spain as a MP playable so you can both play the "new" Spain (spa_spain) and old Spain.
