BETA Version II .
-Pick a starting army if you are not happy with default French one (in the folder "STARTING ARMIES" pick what you want , overwrite)
-Start game say no to "Assemble NPS's" and no to "Bandit Heroes"
-In camp menu go to "PBOD Preferences" >> "Formations Battle AI " >> choose "Formations AI" nothing else . Change any other options you like for diplomacy or whatever else .
-Compare your battlesize (max number of men on the battlefield) with the value in the PBOD menu (it's in the camp menu). They should be equal.
-Start the game through "Unlimited Corpses.ink" if you want unlimited corpses on the battlefield (Buggy , but works ).
-Factions included France , Britain , Prussia .
Modding outsourced to the community (or things I wont bother doing myself )
Need a texturer to re-texture existing textures to add Prussian Grenadier , Jager , Shutzen uniforms and shakos .
Adjustment and/or total revamp of the map (angrynewbie is working on this)
Implementation of 3 rank formation forced on the AI "Archer" group and/or fixing the existing formations scripts (Some progress has been made here)
Making of realistic siege scenes
Just these for now , the rest I can do myself shortly . Plenty has been done already but only after the above mentioned points are taken care of can anything be released .
