    Nice ideas Lordsith.

    @Punitor
    Grenadiers didn't use grenades in the 18th century to any decent degree anyway-they were too unreliable. Their role was elite infantry and storming forts/holding a line mainly-something that their increased stats usually make them pretty good at, notwithstanding smaller unit sizes in many places. Ergo, removing the grenades is fine, especially considering in vanilla ETW they've got unlimited ammo hard-coded (which makes no sense).

    Not so sure about the firing drills however-I can understand removing FAA and platoon fire as they break when you mod unit spacings and don't actually have any really good effect in-game, but FBR is still pretty damn cool (the drill itself is a little inaccurate though-the soldiers usually stayed standing up apart from anything else).

    Yes you are right about grenades, but also i removed grenades for the better balance.
    FBR is good,but skirmish ability even more effective. Skirmish drill allow for infantries to fire with all ranks without waiting till last soldier be ready to fire. Then skirmish drill more convenient , for instance if your 2-3 soldiers in right flank or left flank will fight , the rest of soldiers will fire without waiting till these 3 soldiers do not leave from melee combat. And skirmish ability better; soldiers continue to reload and fire even when they reform their ranks after casualities . And finaly skirmish drill more historical accurate than other game drills.

    The only issue with that is that not all infantry actually skirmished-usually only light infantry battalions/companies. It would work out fine though as long as the units stay in their proper ranks.

    now i see your point, lordsith. im also using the "can_skirmish" = True for my Russo-Turkish war mod and my WW1 mod.
    this also allows the units to fire in all directions without reforming(as long traget is in range). when the battered unit flees or is extincted the unit reforms in the beaten enemies diection. which is very realistic
    but fire by rank is also cool. i´d at least give it to the british grenadiers or improved line infantry.
    you know what i would really love to see? first line kneeling and 2nd line standing, firig at will . like in FotS or in ETW whenin square formation.

    The only issue with that is that not all infantry actually skirmished-usually only light infantry battalions/companies. It would work out fine though as long as the units stay in their proper ranks.
    they do not skirmish you just change the "Can_Skirmish" ability in units_stats_lands_tables from "False" to "True". this doesnt gives the units the ability to skirmish(this happens in unit_to_ability_tables or something like this)! they just start to fire through every gap they can find in their own ranks. this allows the first 2-3 lines to fire at will. even in the tightest formation. its perfectly for mid and late 19th century warfare like US-civil war, seven weeks war, franco-prussian war, russo-turkish war,...

    Downloading now eta 12h still looks worth it, I noticed that the NTW interface is released with the v2.1 just wondering if that is going to be released standalone any time soon? again massive thanks for this, really hated my units not being able to fire till everyone was in rank or loaded even when being charged by a 1000 Indians!!! felt so linear and annoying.

    I quite like this mod, battle AI is better and effects are cool too, it's almost like playing NTW with ETW world map. And i downloaded that V2.2 but i think it's on russian language since i didn't see any text on menus or pop-up windows. Is there any way to make it work in english. Would really like to try it.
