I have ROme but my computer does a fit every time I try to have a battle and exit the campaign map.

Wow. That sucks. Medieval should work.
If not, it's time to get a new computer.

Yeah, I played Age of Empires, pretty good, Rise of nations, good but I wanted one where you could have massive armies. Got Total War, and it won;t let me do anything that you can't do online.

I'll try Medieval, if it don't work, this will occur.

I LOOOVE AOE. And if Medieval doesn't work, that isn't a computer; it's a rock with the microsoft/mac logo on it.

I'm saying that military guys with bolt action rifles. I guess it should be a researchable unit for the following years. As the first bolt action rifles to enter service was the prussian needle gun in 1841 (?)

Please refer to the starting units in the first page, compare them to the starting year and then put Holmes back to his cabin please.

Okay.
I meant the upgrade bit. Besides that, seems good to me.

What? Sophistication 9 for bolt action? Wtf? This won;t be used for another hundred years (and a bit less)

My first throw at it - can't tell if I overpowered or underpowered.
Anyways, check it out!

AWHELLNAW.
Look at my Conscripts. 600 of 'me and guess what? There ain't one stat over 3. 600 militiamen? With range 4? I say no. I say hell no.

You might want to increase the number of your polish line. A unit of 50 men can be utterly destroyed with a single accurate salvo from an artillery unit. Or, if you face another line infantry head on, considering you keep 2 men each line as reserves, your unit will be destroyed in 2 salvos.

Edited, it seems a unit here consists of 500 men or more. fook me for creating a unit with only 200 men in a unit.

*facepalm*
I meant to put 300 - 500 for Line Infantry.

EDIT: I already had 500 per Regiment.

I'm a tad annoyed with this. Does anyone here play the TW series? Because 600 is so high over unit cap that it'd be op. largest units in the game (non-alexander) have been 120, and most units of that size are shitty (like a 1.5 average stat equivalence) and people are fielding units 5 times that size with better stats. Id request an upgrade to my 1st uniques number seeing as we aren't using TW sizes like previously thought.

I anticipated it by setting a unit to 200 men, but i mis-calculated. It seems that a unit can reach 600 men. damn.

I play TW Daily.
TW had to downsize units or you couldn't play battles? A regiment of Line Infantry more realistically is going to be around 300 - 500 soldiers, do some research and quit using videogames as a basis for militarial knowledge.

I actually downsized the militia to 350.

Sorry for basing numbers in a TW rp on TW numbers and not RL. If we were going realist, I'd be using far larger units, I just feel gipped that I posted thinking it would be a TW rp and people use RL numbers.

I agree with you, it suprised me too.
