I crossed the St. Lawrence and stormed Fort Chambly the other day and I can't get over how amazing it looked with those mods.  The fort caught on fire and black smoke was pouring out and totally fogging up the battlefield.

Of course, the tactically inept French (or is it the AI that's inept?) deployed their cannon at forward positions and didn't bother to defend them with nearby infantry.  My cavalry enjoyed charging in and cleaving skulls.

All in all, a good show with mostly Indians dying on both sides.  :menace:

It needs the Last of the Mohicans music for those Indian battles.

The weird thing is that I don't think the French used Indians as cannon fodder during the war.  They, like, 'valued' the Indians or something crazy. :rolleyes:
Anyway, I have game music turned off and enjoy listening to The British Grenadiers whenever my redcoats start marching.

Who the fuck are you?

First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

I'm the same as I always was.

Have the bugs been worked out of this one yet?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

That's a shame. :(  I looked at some videos the sound of the muskets is crappy.  They should have used the same sound files in medieval total war for muskets.  I loved the thundering of the guns in that game.  I did several quick battles with all musket men and cannons cause I like the shooting so much.

I seem to recall with this company they didn't produce alot of patches so I wonder if it ever will.
