Hello all, this is just a just a quick update to tell you what we have planned for the next release. The next release will not be as expansive or take as long to produce as the previous release however, we hope that it is received in the same approving light. The next installment of NTW2 will contain the nation of Portugal to help round out the Iberian conflicts that so many have found fascinating (or irritating depending on whom you ask).
Portugal will contain a decent selection of infantry units modeled on the British system of drill, discipline and accuracy. Historically, they are superb troops who have been trained to follow orders in both English and Portuguese so that they can understand a command from an officer of either nationality. They have also been taught to fire rapidly and have been re-organized to maintain maximum fighting abilities. Thought the Portuguese infantry are well-versed in military matters the nation does lack in other parts of its armed forces. The Portuguese nation has no guard troops to put into the field and secondly their cavalry is of poor quality. Some nations had a cavalry arm with little to nil horses, Portugal has neither a cavalry rich culture nor the horses fit for training into military mounts. They have instead a mired collection of riders and horses shoved into a cavalry corps to give it some maneuverability. Given these drawbacks, Portugal will be a formidable task to play for those used to a more composed army. Those who do have the courage to play them will, we hope, find the challenge more then enjoyable.
The upcoming patch will also include several smaller fixes discovered as we work with NTW2 more closely. There are a few minor changes that we hope will meet with the community’s liking additionally.
These include:
-Price changes to the Brunswick faction (we hope that this faction will be used in MP games now more often)
-Several model and texture fixes
-Preferences file is now installed in the correct location
-Lingering Smoke option added back into the options during the installation process (don’t install if you have a slow PC or get lag often)
-Minor text changes and fixes
-KGL Hussars now have a trumpeter
Screenshots will be coming forthwith gentlemen.
Thank you, The Lordz
Ciao
