Why isnt it any musician regiments in..

Why isnt it any fifer/drummer regiments in Commander battle?

[Agros]

Because they won't do nothing of special to any of the teams.

A player picking a group consisting only of musicians would really be screwing over his team. Perhaps if every choice spawned with one of their musician accompaniments. Perhaps even a standard bearer as well.

Couldnt it be like 2 drummers and 2 fifers and rest of the regiments are guards for the musicians. Kinda like the Artillery.

Musician regiments?

For a very good reason, there was no such thing...

Generally, to each company was attached a drummer, and to Grenadier companies were attached fifers also. Drummers and Musicians were merely a part of the infantry; there were no dedicated units of them, as such units would serve no purpose.

And mostly likely, the bots wouldn't be able to play - they are... Stupid.

So I just won a narrow victory as a lone Regiment of Foot Guards against 2 Regiments of Light Infantry, the enemy sucked so they got whooped at close range, I won't get so lucky next time.

Suddenly a new team member joins, 'huzzah' my men cry knowing that they now have an even battle ahead of them.

The allied Regiment is 20 guys playing drums.

I don't like regiments of musicians but I would love to see them playing along a flag bearer of a regular line infantry unit

It would be cool to see each players regiment has a Colour bearer, drummer and fifer and it gives the buffs like it does to other real[/i] players but when they die its then end of them

This please! This!

Lol I already imagine people are only taking musician regiments, would be very annoying to hear 200 pipers.

  The thought of hundreds of bot musicians all playing different songs at the same time *shudders* (having taken music theory I would go nuts!)

I wish to thoroughly disagree with those who say a regiment of musicians will not kill anyone - ever heard of sound weaponry? (although perhaps its best to keep the "killing" in the game)

[Megaberna]

Not relevant in the outcome of a battle...so it's a no for me.

[Kipsleverworst]

I don't get it actually why people like musicians, and especially come up with the idea to make musician regiments.

[Stevon]

What a silly idea... an entire regiment of musicians... what is this, marching band?

However, on the topic of musicians (but off-topic as far as commander battles go...), I would quite enjoy it if the linebattle rules were amended so that each regiment is required to have a musician (of their choice) and a standard bearer. Would add a lot of immersion.
