Of Mantua and generals...
Posted: Mon Sep 07, 2015 7:05 am
There are some items I'd like to clarify a bit, one regarding the Mantua War and the other regarding generals.
So to Mantua - is this included in the game? I'm under the impression that during the initial phases of the Swedish Intervention, a substantial number of troops were tied up in Italy supporting Spain.
Regarding Generals I have a question and a clarification. Is the promotion system as in other Ageod games implemented or do generals remain at their given ratings throughout the game?
BTW I was a bit surprised that Pappenheim was given an artillerist quality. As far as I know, he was essentially a horseman (there's even a cuirassier regiment with his name in the game) and died leading a cavalry charge. So maybe a cavalryman attribute would be better suited. Also I'm under the impression that Aldringer was a Bavarian general rather than an imperialist one, though given that there aren't any penalties in putting other nationalities under a general, this is only sugar coating.
Anyways, still having a blast of a time with this game!
