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

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
When's the mod out?

Thanks.

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

 :shock: 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)

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

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

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.
