    Trying some tactics, bowmen on high ground, mixed infantry in main shield wall, good melee vikings as a flanking unit and 20~ cav.
    When enemy hits the shield wall I send in shock troops and cav from the flanks. Beat a 250 army with my 180 army with this, only 30 casualties.

    Remember someone saying they had shieldbanging as well, think it was trait related?

    Edit: I found it

    Have the same doubt here.

    I got "Strong" as a trait, don't know what it means, only that I can bang my shield in battles.

    Guess you bang the shield by pressing 'T' key instead when you have the shield up.

    Later when discussing with party what to do with Bodo's letter, Solveig also spoke as if she been traveling with me whole this time, when I never met her. I was like "Who the hell is that?!?"

    Same here. She got knocked out the first time I met her, guessing that's why.

    Tips for RPing as a merchant? + How to make easy money post 11.

    I've found that the northern Norwegian villages some times have dirt-cheap iron, any other villages with minerals? Silver?
    Haven't found any good place to sell stone yet.

    ...earn at least 3000 pennings when you have this much you can then go to the main Town, I like to choose the ones that have the ports so you can buy and sail straight off of the bat! When you get to the town / port assess the local prices see what makes you the most profit. Now before you buy the product which can net you the most profit...

    buying goods directly from towns/ports is usually never as profitable as buying from villages instead.

    Should you be able to bypass recruitment permissions

    Agreed.
    Also, I'm not sure how it works. I've never been denied permission by lords, not even Snake-in-the-eye who I had -40 relation with, maybe it's just faction-rep based.

    Odins Cave Way too Hard

    What I did was to equip a spear and shield, and get on the boat outside immediately, they can't get on it (leave your comps at spawn), then you can easily poke them to death.
    There's also a larger rock inside the cave, to the left as you enter, that they can't get on top of.

    new map: NEW SPAIN

    Some feedback:

    I believe it's north point: its iron mine is too close to its base especially since it's pure iron ore, it's too easy for them to get and hold it and too hard for enemies to try and take it.

    I think it would be nice to put some lumber trees in the swamp and the natives jungle, along with some iron ores, so the natives can protect their land against exploitation from the pale man.

    Natives bases could use at least a front door, and one base doesn't have a bed and the other doesn't have female clothing, musket stock storage would be nice too.

    Give natives one of those crappy round wooden shields please, also more bow types and ammo and javelins/spears.

    Make ferries go over to the other side all the way in one go when using the the crank thingy just once, but slightly slower.

    Outlaw camp is too close to the middle colonial town.

    Personally I like the excess of trees and shrubbery in the natives jungle, gives an edge to the natives who have learned its pathways and for me it has turned away multiple would-be invaders and gotten them lost on their way to us.

    Commoners should not be able to spawn directly inside the forts, only faction members, earlier we had a bunch of commoners continuously spawning in the biggest stone fort on the hill and constantly trying to kill everyone and getting those in the fort outlawed for killing them back. (no admins on :[ )


    Otherwise it's a nice map and you really nailed the Caribbean feeling of it.

    ⚔ 1er Régiment de Grenadiers-à-Pied de la Garde Imperiale [RECRUITING!]

    Seems I have to spell out how to use what is a very simple program so here goes.

    Download the client here: https://www.evolvehq.com/client

    Register an account, start the program, install any updates, and when the Evolve window pops up look in the top left corner for the "File" drop-down menu, click on it and select "Preferences..." now select the "Media" tab to the far right in the new window that pops up and adjust the recording settings to your liking.
    I recommend Low encoding, Half-Size resolution and .mov format unless you have an editing program that handles .mkv, with these settings you shouldn't get much lag.

    You may need to go to the "Features" tab in the "Preferences" window and tick the "Media" and "Game Overlay" checkboxes, you might also want to go to the "General" tab and un-check the "Launch Evolve on Windows start" option.

    Check what hotkey you have set to start recording, it's under "Capture Hotkey" in the upper part of the Media window, the lower one is for screenshots.

    To start record you need to have the Evolve client running, start Napoleonic Wars through steam or wherever you have it installed, when the game has started you can press the Record button to start recording and press it again to stop recording, from what I've seen you have unlimited recording time. Your media files will be saved to the folder you specified in your settings. Try out your settings on a decently populated public server before you start recording real linebattles and adjust them accordingly.

    There are many more features to Evolve which you can read about on their website.

    Suggestions

    Similar to the beating stick idea, Implement 2 weapon modes for the swords held by Ensigns(and captains?) like the muskets have. Switching mode on it switches the sword to the flat side of the blade so you can slap unruly soldiers around with it without doing much damage and maybe without knockback so you don't push them out of line.
    (Read in Jean-Roch Coignet's Memoirs that the Sergents did this :razz:)

    Suggestions

    Suggestions:
    • You forgot to add gloves to the 1er Grenadiers (again :p)
    • Remove ear-rings from accessories in character creator and attach them to the 1er Grenadier uniform(and any other regiment that had em) like it was in MM, nobody uses them anyway with all the other cool accessories around...
    • According to some sources the French flag bearers had pistols: "The 1st, 2nd and 3rd Eagle-bearer were armed with a short sabre and pistols.", would be much appreciated if 1er grens flag bearer could get a better sword too ;P
    • Change the colour scheme for French hussars, I mean there are dozen of colour schemes to choose from and you went with poo brown...
    • Someone did a sloppy job on the 1er Grens coat:
    The white stuff around the grenade emblem, the officer and flag bearers coat has it right.
    58D4EDC6F7EDC1CEEB0377E9531A89DF84D54314
    • Implement Drum Majors, because they were ****ing badass.

    [abbr=DO IT]
    20090217211659_nap_wat_0033.jpg
    [/abbr]
    *Notice the sheathed sword.

    "Drum majors, at least in the French service, were men of consequence in their regiments.
    He went into the fire using his mace, the head of which was loaded with lead, as a weapon. The two battalion Old Guard assault at Plancenoit was led by a mace-swinging drum major."

    "...the drum major, swinging his loaded mace at every Prussian head in range, at Waterloo leading the two battalion bayonets-only assault at Plancenoit to throw fourteen Prussian battalions out of the burning village"

    "The two-battalion Old Guard assault on Plancenoit, 1815: Two battalions of Old Guard infantry commanded by General Petit and led by a baton-swinging drum major attacked the village of Plancenoit on the French right flank after the Young Guard had been ejected by the Prussians. Two battalions against 14, the Old Guard attacked with the bayonet and threw the Prussians out of the village, inflicting heavy casualties."

    "And then you have Pelet leading two battalions of Old Guard infantry into the burning inferno of Plancenoit in June 1815 with orders to use the bayonet. Two French battalions against fourteen Prussian battalions, the French driving the Prussians from Plancenoit being led by a mace-swinging drum major who brained a Prussian infantryman with every swing of his loaded baton. He must have been swinging it like a baseball bat. The Guardsmen chased the Prussians out of Plancenoit and back to their own line of artillery, and then withdrew unmolested by the Prussians back into the village which they held for the rest of the day until breaking out at the bitter end and heading south under Pelet with their eagle."

    "And then at Dresden in 1813 a Guard drum major leading fifty Young Guardsmen in a counter-attack to retake a redoubt from the Austrians. He led them in the rain and mud into and through the ditch and over the wall to retake the fortification at bayonet point."
