I have a knack for spamming F12 while in steam games.
Count Delran said:I don't know if anyone said this yet, but France should get hussars and cuirassiers. And France should get a slight advantage on cavalry over other nations as well as Prussia in infantry. I mean the french had the best cavalry in Europe, while the prussians boasted the best infantry of the world.

At some point hussars and cuirrassiers will be added to France.
Prussia did not have the best infantry in Europe in 1702 (mod's start). Prussia is a new kingdom that was just a duchy a few years previous and this is not the era of Frederick the Great that begins in the 1740's so your about 3 to 4 decades too early in your assessment. The best infantry in Europe at this time? The case could be made for Sweden although this Great Northern War will shatter that advantage. But I would think most European observers of the period would have, if being objective, pointed to the Swedes and possibly the Dutch and this war would make the reputation of the redcoat of GB as well.

Redcoats? France won this war.
The Prussian army of Frederick II has it's roots in this period, with Frederick I, his grandfather.
Count Delran said:You forget Malplaquet, one of Marlborough's and Eugene's greatest feats. I mean two more like that and you can sa good bye to the British Army. Also in most of the battles, the Allies outnumbered and outgunned the french.
And what is to gain? Two thrones belonging to one dynasty. An alliance that would shake Europe for almost a century.
The Holy Roman Empire is in the mod, and it continued to exist after the 30-years war. It was dissolved in 1806 by Napoleon.Musket_Mayhem said:This is more of a question and sorry if its been asked, why do you have the Holy Roman Empire as a faction? It was to my understanding the Holy Roman Empire died after the 30 Years War. But I do get how you wouldn't want to make 360 individual countries
Yes i understand that but the Empire itself was now completely split up into 360 autonomous states and the title of Holy Roman Emperor went to the Austrians. It was also to my understanding that Napoleon created the Confederation of the Rhine, giving Germans a sense of nationalism and unity that they didn't chase until the late 1800's and didn't fulfill until 1871.Humlenerd said:The Holy Roman Empire is in the mod, and it continued to exist after the 30-years war.
