I realize this is a developed and detailed game pretty much focused towards players that have at least a general interest in "wargames" and casual knowledge of such (military, history, etc).
I consider myself a military history buff (grognard type), loads of wargame experience...but, a nice touch for those less nerdy when a player clicks on the elements, in addition to the mechanical/rules stuff, it would be nice to have a basic narrative description.
Not being a programmer, not sure the difficulty of that, just that it might provide a basic understanding of a unit more than it's title and numbers/stats.
Note, this is not a complaint, only just an idea I thought might keep the "uninitiated" from feeling a bit lost...Although admittedly, introducing more information might be counter productive.
Well, for one thing the Unit leaders biographies are not included in this game. I offer to write these up as I have a book (David Chandlers 'Dictionary of the Napoleonic Wars') which contains all the important Generals, Marshalls, leaders of this time - its is an impressive book, but there seems to be not that much interest in me doing so. I would create it as an open mod, but I have no idea how to get these into the game, as I am not a programmer. Other Ageod titles did this - but WoN seems to me to have been rushed out and does not seem to be up to the same level of historical detail as other titles. If someone could just explain how to get the small bios into the game, that would be great, and then I could create a thread over in the mod forum which would be an open mod.
