Does the mass fire mod fix the fact that it seems half of your men don't seem to fire at certain times? Like when I was defending myself in the first Road to Independence mission. Only Three of my musketeers shot at the approaching Indians.

In ETW, if you don't have Fire by Rank researched, only your first rank will fire at the enemy if it has line of sight to it. Once you have Fire by Rank, it becomes much more of a massacre...

Added you also Ridler. Hopefully on my return to England i will be able to enjoy ETW and NTW on-line.

Have been on the fence trying to decide which of the games to get, ETW or NTW. I would get NTW if they do anything like a mod of the American Civil War for it!

The one thing that I've noticed that is better about NTW, is the fact that when your Cannons fire, if you're watching them up close, the screen will shake. It also seems, although it might have been just my imagination, that after the battle progressed more and more, the map started to get foggier from the cannon and musket fire. There is also improvements the AI and such. Although the map in ETW is bigger I think.

An American Civil War mod or even an addon would be great.


If anyone wants to add me to steam my steamid is Spike88.

Someone did a American civil war mod for ETW.

Oah, anouther thing about NTW I like is that the cannons can knock people down, not just kill them.

Also can anyone recommend a major mod for NTW?
The are several out over at twcenter. But i wondered if anyone here had tried any out so far?
Was a little sad when i saw that Darth was not going to mod NTW.

Unfortunately total conversions, with proper campaigns and such, are impossible without CA's bloody mod tools for either game.

@Spike88 - Added you.

Thanks will give it ago.

So I broke the ship Tutorial in NTW. I sank the first ship just fine, and ended up doing battle with the last ship right on the maps border. When I finally destroy his mast and go to board him, he's halfway out the map. I can't board him because he's outside the map, and I can't sink him because he's invincible.

[Spike88]

I don't see you're invitation Raptor. I sent one to Raptor 1 but I don't think its you. Unless you only play Counter Strike.

[Raptor1]

Added Spike88, as you said on your post, but that might not be the right because it says he hasn't been online for over a week.

Mine is Raptor1A, pretty simple.

[mr chris]

Same here Raptor i tried adding Spike88, But it comes up with a Dark Killer Spike.

Maybe try going to his steam page? Dunno if you can add from a non-steam browser though...
