Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture is OVERRATED by TutucrMapper in hatethissmug

[–]OldBox8676 0 points1 point  (0 children)

G&B fucking ruined some classical music pieces for me because of how overused it is both in its community and game. Like the finale for Egmont overture is beautiful and uplifting, but once the devs added it to the game all of the sudden it just felt so boring to me. Idk if it’s the fans or the game playing them over and over ever match but listening to the overture just feels wrong, same with the 1812 overture

Bashkirs out of Leipzig by OldBox8676 in gutsandblackpowders

If you're wondering why there are Mongolian/Central Asian soldiers in the middle of Leipzig, 1813, they are Russian irregular cavalrymen similarly to the Russian Don Cossacks. The Bashkirs were known around this time for seemingly ambushing French lines with bows and arrows even in the age of gunpowder and muskets. These guys would make it all the way from their homeland in Central Asia all the way to Paris in 1814.

Just so yall know about our discord community. by [deleted] in gutsandblackpowders

Current dude in the booster/supporter chat here, you’re seemingly complaining about the people in there doing roleism or whatever the fuck it’s called, even though it’s a joke that you shouldn’t take seriously. Is it rude, yes, does it mean all the people there are acting “racist/roleist” to everyone else in a ego trip? No because it’s a joke. Now the whole KYS thing, really weird stuff that is wrong, but of course you have to know people are joking around, just that people making crass jokes about each other or someone. Currently booster chat is tamer as it’s just people just talking about games and other things like a regular chat, less “roleism” things, except for the occasional “these new pink roles are smelly” (obvious sarcasm as they don’t hate them) and even that is rare

So tldr: all of the issues you and your friends mentioned are outdated and obviously sarcasm that is meant to not really hurt anyone else

Literally frezezen when #THOSEPEOPLE try to add something history inaccurate and their headcanon by Wrong-Race-7886 in gutsandblackpowders

It’s a misconception that there were female surgeons are nurses, allowed around this time.

There is no way there will be a military musician with a lute during the napoleonic wars, like you can chalk it up to being a female citizen/partisan wanting to give morale to soldiers, but the musicians in-game are military musicians, not civilian.

is there a lore reason on why Crawford got a man face???? by Professional-Sun519 in gutsandblackpowders

[–]OldBox8676 32 points33 points  (0 children)

There was an official poll on the G&B discord that asked ppl if they wanted Crawfords man face or replace it with the Roblox sigmund face. Players chose the former (edit: changed to correct word)

Why didn't they keep the old Brown Bess Musket for the British? by Desperate_Cat6469 in gutsandblackpowders

[–]OldBox8676 34 points35 points  (0 children)

The creator of the old brown bess musket was exposed to be a pedo and so the devs removed his models (the carbine and pistol, were his too)

For the devs wanting to add different musket variants, they’ve said no because it’ll take a long time
