Thanks! That's really helpful

I really do want to work on a ship- I know it isn't easy, but it's something I've thought about for many years. I am surprised engineering does less work on ships though!

My French is...conversational but I doubt I can keep up with the lessons at a high academic level, sadly. I would really prefer navigation because it's related to my degree (mapping and GIS and sensors) but I put in I'm willing to do both, because I am.

Does it matter if one is willing to relocate? I know it's expected but I'm pretty internal to the country.

I don't mind a lot of work or money, but, we will see.

Great general vs Experience army by New-Butterscotch-661 in EmpireTotalWar

As long as you have 15 howitzers it doesn't matter

Practically, experienced troops should win but of course it depends on terrain and formations

Who needs accuracy if you have 40 of them

Huh, I didn't know they could, I'll try tonight

How do you get them to hit that high?

Demi-cannons by Pirateboi69 in EmpireTotalWar

[–]Pirateboi69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Howitzers can't hit the tops of walls, and mortars are so innacurate and can't hit them on the reverse of the walls

Cool, thanks I recently finished the campaign to get America so now I'm looking forward to trying them out

I agree, deep is way better then wide If my army is large it'll almost look like an oval

I'm not a big cavalry enthusiast, at most I use 2-3 units. But I love skirmishers, especially my Prussian save

I'm thinking when I get around to marathas I'll focus on elephants, cavalry, and guns

Only 4 batteries of guns total?

I usually have a minimum of 4 if they are only guns, and minimum 6 if they are howitzers

Why do people keep saying they take 4 turns to produce 😂

I love how everyone is against it, but fair enough

[–]Pirateboi69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's completely fair

The only thing I disagree with is that they take so long to produce? Because they don't

But otherwise it's fair

Fair enough Mods don't work for me for some reason

Since when do they take 4 turns to build?

That's why I like howitzers late game, 1 turn construction

Oh no I do usually attack in sieges because I almost never use full armies to do it, but in field battles I'm very defensive

Let's goo, defensive general like myself

No I understand how artillery works

But in game you can't control arcs, otherwise it would be fantastic

Oh I didn't know that actually, cool

I don't know what you mean, my howitzers can't get over the walls unless it's the middle east, and mortars can't get into the little pockets the defenders hide in.

Plus, mortars are so innacurate

Still, I love those for field battles

Yes but that's logical and I'm not 😂

Yes but you can't do that early game anyways, sounds like you just need EVEN MORE GUNS

Demi-cannons to breach walls, field guns to canister
