Hi, sorry for the long post and repeating topics but i couldn t play for a month now and will have to wait another one, so u will probably think I am going crazy , indeed I am..
1-is there any difference on accouracy and reload times for fort guns manned by say elite infantry or armed mobs? i would like to know because i always keep the lowest quality infantry on walls and other more trained troops in front of those walls to engage enemies in melee
2-maybe u could add a submod that eliminate those large starforts from the game, the 2nd tier ones not all of them.
they are a pain to defend and to attack, in my 2.0 campaign tha ai spends so much money in them that could be spent otherwise...maybe changing 1st tier fortifications to those woodforts from empire and the 2nd tier to those smaller stone artilery forts...keep the cost high so no fort spam.
3-is this mod compatible with trom 2?
Pd guru equipment mod?

4- I haven t played in a while but I think the game incorrectly numbers my units like heavy dragoons - "2nd regiment horse guards" instead of "1st heavy horse" (this happens with infantry too) however i don t remember if it was normal units or those AoR ones (sorry i won t be able to play again in the next 30 days, so this can just be outdated)
5-is the ai attacking navies in trade posts or I need to leave some ships out of it in order to be attacked?
6-maybe there could be some more difference regarding cost/upkeep on ships, why would someone build a 32 gun frigate instead of a 38?or a 64 instead of a 80 SoL.. perhaps making those more armed ships more costly instead of their lesser armed counterparts so to choose wich ship to buid have something to think about....
in my campaigns i never build those 32 frigates or smaller ships and just build 38 instead (actually I do build every ships but only for roleplaying)
I am suggesting to change something so the player is forced to use those less armed ships in a way that they are more atractive to the player than they are now...
make those smaller Sol like the 50, 64and 86 more atractive and available to every nation
7-Also I don t see the value of sloops and brigs...they exist just for Ai spamming large fleets of those small gunboats, or the player exploit them as cheap transports to send a full stack army under the nose of that stupid thing CA call Naval Ai....remove them or give em trade ability or something..... Dont say to me to raid trade lanes with those , 24 gun corvettes are much more fun to use and can actually take some merchantmen alone
I will go back to EtW, Much more fun when u HAVE to work together with your armies and fleets to have a suscesfull campaign. when Ca got ETW right they ripped the fun out of it with those scripted campaigns and europe only map...RTW map would fit nicely for napoleon with just a little bit more of water so retreating navies wouldn t bump in the edges and ruin the game for me
I will try TROM for Empire then, happy new year all
I just wish my statements are clear to understand, if they aren t I will be glad to write those again differently
