Wish List

[crazy canuck]

I'm not sure if this is already in the game, or has already been mentioned.

I would like to see troops in line formation, volley fire and then a bayonet charge immediately after they have fired.

Without the game.... how are we going to make a wishlist? 

[HarryInk]

Start by wishing VERY HARD for the game...

[AnkLrd]

For this first version, the nations are:

France, Austria, Russia, Sweden, Bavaria, Duchy of Baden, Kingdom of Denmark, Italy, Kingdom of Naples, Saxony, Kingdom of Westphalia, Kingdom of  Wurttemburg, Duchy of Warsaw.

Some Prussian regiments are also included...

Around 1500 regiments.

Britain, Spanish, Brunswick, all Prussian units and some other ones will be added in the future, with an advanced AI.

JMM

I wish to see OTTOMAN with the future release.

I am someone who is an avid wargamer but like many others not very knowledgable of 'online gaming'. I could be wrong but I would guess many here will be the same. I am perhaps the 'average guy' (although my mum tells me I am special) buying this game. This is not a mainstream product. We are grognards!
So my main worry is this- Although I am keen to 'meet' other gamers on the fielld of battle, especially in team play, having read JMM's great manual I am concerned about where I will meet these other players without the long drawn out process of setting up dates/times and then how to technically set up a battle. I know it tells us in the manual about IP addresses and stuff but I think your average buyer will be a bit confused.com.    I really think we need a dedicated site online with a few buttons to get a battle going. This simple site would draw many who I think would probably not get involved in online gaming else. To me this is very important... Either a dedicated 'War Room' or perhaps other dedicated gamers being extremly supportive and understanding).
Am I worrying too much about what looks to me like a complicated process in the manual?

With a game like this, I think you'll find that everyone is extremely supportive and understanding.  Don't worry about it.

The "War Room" as you call it has to be the number ONE most important thing LG needs.....no doubt about it............there are many supportive and helpfull people out there, but your point about getting MP gaming is correct, as things stand you will almost certainly need to join a "group" "club" "clan" whatever you want to call it, once your in with such a crowd (whoever it is) you will get all the help you need.

Prussia as major faction.

then England + theire allies.

Attack in line formation should be possible then.

It is planned to be part of the first patch/add-on.

Great

[englishoo7]

Woohoo! I will be Russian only until the English make an appearance! 

[dmcheatw]

this would be difficult to do, but in JMM's next game it would be cool if he made the corpses physical objects the troops had to move over.  the simple way to do it would be to give them a movement pentalty as they move over a field of bodies.  the harder way would be to incorperate animations of people climbing over and stumbling on corpses.

I prefer a good working machine  to animations........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

( CA is a bad example for animations)

From what i have understood it will be in an add-on.
I guess (an i hope) the game will be patched several times before this occurs.
