Saltire (!empty($user->lang['WROTE'])) ? $user->lang['WROTE'] : ucwords(strtolower(str_replace('_', ' ', 'WROTE')))(!empty($user->lang['COLON'])) ? $user->lang['COLON'] : ucwords(strtolower(str_replace('_', ' ', 'COLON')))riflemen ftw.

anyone want to try a multiplayer at some point? Im gonna try and set up a fake LAN using that hamachi thing.


You got a dodgy game?

Otherwise just use Steam - I did it last night and got obliterated!

Cannon just isnt that effective online!!!!

But hamachi is easy enough to use.

yeah, me n fely had massive issues doing a multiplayer through the totalwaronline ingame thing.

Kept getting 'no response form server' when trying to connect to each others games.

Il install hamachi tonight i think

/edit - yeah, cannons are great v mass hordes of units and other cannons or forts.

The best anti everything i winmobile are rockets, mortars and howitzers, all with percussive shells / explosive rockets.

thats why you see so many games saying 'no mortars'

or eviscerating them with cannonballs.

Its like AOE3 except you have a world map to play across and the battles (land and sea) are fought on a terrain map where you have total control.

Economic warfare possibilities are endless, you can occupy enemy infrastructure (farms, mines, ports) and blockade trade routes (and steal the trade income for yourself).

The best economic one i did was a chevauchee through Muscovy (Moscow and the surrounding countryside). I sacked Moscow and destroyed all the economic buildings in the region, then left. i traded the region back to Russia for a peace deal and let them bankrupt themselves by rebuilding the region. It effectively stopped any threat from the east for about 10 years.

The other long term effects of this were that the Russians couldn't afford to build an army to take The Crimea and its vital black sea trading port of Sevastopol.
