Nexaduro Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Err, Dusty? Maybe because guns of the time had crap range and accuracy. A good crossbowmen would easily beat a medium-skill gunman. 10:53 PM - retech9691: I feel the need10:53 PM - retech9691: To include many chasms in my story arc10:53 PM - Resistance: You mean plotholes?

Retech Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 I'm sure there's a reason why guns were preferred over crossbows, right? Master of your domain?

Nero Posted July 24, 2010 Author Share Posted July 24, 2010 Well it looks small enough. How valuable is it? :S If it is valuable, then I demand that I own the Crimea, because of its historical value!It's just a region that Russia has always had a loooooong history of fighting for and over. Err, Dusty? Maybe because guns of the time had crap range and accuracy. A good crossbowmen would easily beat a medium-skill gunman.Look, if you want to use a piece of technology that's been out of date for nearly a millenium you can. I can tell you right away though that muskets are definitely better than crossbows. But true, a good crossbowmen could beat a medium skilled (ie conscript soldier) musketman. Problem is, in the time it would take you to train a single good crossbowmen, you could trade an entire battalion of musketmen. So yea, go ahead and pit a crossbowmen against a battalion of line infantry. Vienna Raszyn Warsaw Klushino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nero Posted July 24, 2010 Author Share Posted July 24, 2010 Correct, pretty much any untrained soldier will lose to a trained one when they have comparable weaponry. But the beauty in the musket is its sheer weight and terror, and the fact that it's so easy to train them with. That and the fact that you can stick a sword on the end of it. Like I said, you can use crossbowmen if you like. But they'll lose nearly every engagement against a sizeable enemy force.

Nero Posted July 24, 2010 Author Share Posted July 24, 2010 You get a +10% bonus to tarriff income, whereas others would only get +5, so I guess that counts as keeping them. Vienna Raszyn Warsaw Klushino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nero Posted July 25, 2010 Author Share Posted July 25, 2010 Well since I'm Portuguese do I get dragoons and organ guns?You can use whichever ones you want to start with, provided they've already been invented. ------ Oh, and thinking instead of Base, Tech, and Tariffs we have Base, Production, Tariffs. This way countries like say, Russia, would get next to no Tariff income, but have mega production income (since it'll be based on how many provinces you have that can be land-linked to your capital).
