To make it like cRPG would be too intensive to make. We did need a PHP website etc. It would be possible, but it would take too much time I am afraid, and for how it is at the moment seems fine to me I think. Maybe we can increase the prices, so that is harder to get some serious armour.
I played the mod last night and I noticed that there are 3 á 4 different
type of Muskets. Maybe we can change it to 3 different kind of Muskets:
Matchlock,Wheellock and Flintlock,these 3 mechanism were all used during
the war.
Matchlock: If you press the shoot button,it will take 2/3 seconds before the
bullet leaves the muskets
Wheellock: Faster shoot,but takes a bit of time to (In dutch they call it "Opwinden" if I'm correct)
Flintlock: The bullet immediately leaves the musket after pressing the shoot button and less time
to get it reloaded again. Make the last 2 mechanism more expensive because all the weapons were
made by hand and the Matchlock was the easiest kind to make.

Hmm flintlock is kinda misplaced I believe though, that mechanism wouldn't become common untill the 1670s. People often confuse the Flintlock with the older Doglock or "snaphaunce". A firing mechanism not very popular during their days and were more often used for hunting.
Smissen said:Just a quick suggestion,are we going to add pistols for the cavalry?
Pistols are standard for cavalry since the 16th century
Yeah, I've had discussions with Jezze about this, and yes, pistols shall indeed be in.
Edit:
Hey what's this "Old team-member" thingy D: I'm totally still active Jezze, just got a job too now. D:

Hi,
let me first say I really appreciate the conception of this mod, I'm a joung scholar in early modern history (and still play some games, ok) and love this period. Let me just give a couple of suggestion if possible...
A- concerning the factions
You start the timeline in the year of the loot of Antwerpen & a couple of yrs before the capture of Brielle (if I'm not mistaken), but why not inserting the english like faction? later in the war the Oranje asked for help and part of the 7 rebel provinces became for (a third) a land under english protection.
You could even insert scottish and english mercenaries and deserters...
b- Instead than the waloon mounted sergeant, is possible to have waloon Cuirassiers?...ok they became famous in the 30 yrs war under Wallenstein, but they became one of the most famous troops of their age..
c- Ok, he toke service later in the war, but why not putting Alessandro Farnese in the lap of spaniards commanders?
Concerning Gameplay
- Implementing ranks in this mod would improve very much game experience. Without them pikemen and landsknechts are useful just at 50%. Asking help in this to the developers of Eagle and radiant cross could be quite easy, and I'm sure the battles more tough
- Like in the invasion mod, why not putting a huge spanish army under the walls of Antwerpen at a determinate day? Scheduling some of the most famous events in the sequence of days could dramatically improve historical accuracy.
I could have other ideas to propone, but I'm a gamer, not a developer...so can just renew my grats for the good work made till now and beg you to keep it up.
I leave you with just a last suggestion, asking to improve naval combat (pathfinding does sadly not affect speed at sea for now...is not possible edit charachters inserting something like seafaring), and to put more geuzen at sea...would be nice with different kinds of ships.
Wit true exteem and admiration

Maybe interesting for you guys to base the units and perhaps some animations on the following:
Wapenhandelinghe van roers, musquetten ende spiesen by Jacob de Gheijn
Nassausche wapen-handelinge, van schilt, spies, rappier, ende targe by Adam van Breens
Both are Dutch military manuals.
What I find interesting is that the Pikeman is portrayed as using their pikes this way:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26C758K4Fc0
So in an "Overhead" way rather then the "Underhead" way.
Perhaps there should also be a Spearwall option to stop enemies from passing by.
And as I said before, warfare in this era was mainly Pike and Shot. Pike is really missing a lot in this mod.
I'd suggest just having a Dutch Republic faction and a Spanish faction and work from there for Warband. While Spanish troops were known for their higher quality(Training/Equipment) this could be balanced out by letting the Dutch have x times more men in MP.
Edit:
Some clear pictures of Pikemen and how they wielded their pikes. Gues it asks for a unique animation.
6, 10 and 14 show this as well
Maybe also a bracing option like the following picture:
