We have been bullshitted on.
« on: June 17, 2012, 07:10:45 PM »
From Steam store page of NW

"Five nations with more than 220 unique units to choose from"    220 units? There is like 20 units at most per team, big lie in the webpage"

"A wide range of artillery pieces ranging from field cannons to mortars, capable of firing a variety of missiles such as canister, explosive shells and even rockets - all fully controllable by players"

Throwing out "random" examples of what kind of artillery you can have and what kind of shots you can use, this text just lists them all lol, another bullshitting the customer case

"Accurate early 19th century weapons, uniforms and environments"  Are you kidding me every factions' musket is just the same model no specific name or anything

If i find more i will post them here stop giving us crap info developers i caught you!

I think with the "220 units" they were referring to is most likely that they included ranker, officer, flag bearer and both musicians....

It's marketing what do you expect. :roll:
And anyways, there is a fair variety of cannons: you have your typical field cannon, howitzers, mortars, swivel guns, naval cannons, rockets.

I dont see how marketing lied. Either you over estimated a 10 dollar DLC or you simply don't like it.

The game costs 9,99€, I'm quite sure it's more than 10$. Another lie!

From Steam store page of NW

"Five nations with more than 220 unique units to choose from"    220 units? There is like 20 units at most per team, big lie in the webpage"

5 (sub-units) x 10 (units) x 5 (factions) = 250. Take away units that don't have more than 1 or 2 types of unit (like sapper) and then take away some units from factions that have less units than others, that would add up to around 220. 220 unique and playable units. They didn't lie.

"A wide range of artillery pieces ranging from field cannons to mortars, capable of firing a variety of missiles such as canister, explosive shells and even rockets - all fully controllable by players"

Throwing out "random" examples of what kind of artillery you can have and what kind of shots you can use, this text just lists them all lol, another bullshitting the customer case

These exist, what's your point? Mortars, howitzers, cannons, rockets, mounted mini turrets with many types of shot - cannister, round, explosive etc.

"Accurate early 19th century weapons, uniforms and environments"  Are you kidding me every factions' musket is just the same model no specific name or anything

If you go into the game files, you'll see that all muskets are in fact different. Having opened up the BRF files, you can clearly see that each faction and even some unit has a unique rifle with its own name - such as the Charleville or the Brown Bess. You talk shit about things that you have no clue about - all musket models are just named Infantry Musket, Cavalry Musket, Rifle, Musketoon etc. but there are many many different types of weapon.

If i find more i will post them here stop giving us crap info developers i caught you!

Quit whilst you're ahead, you're only making yourself look stupid.
