Captain Jean-Luc Picard Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 (edited) Not a single casualty if we don't count a canon that exploded by itself, causing 1 death and some injuries. I think i might have read that a cow was killed too but i may misremember and cannot find that online.

Wright29 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 AI has too much cannon. Didn't bring their cannon into rifle range and let me slaughter them. Tutorial AI is Op. Terrible game. Devs are awful. No multi-player. Give me back my money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the Battle of Fort Sumter is a bit unbalanced. The player only gets a few cannon while the Confederate AI gets 200+ guns to bombard the crap out of your fort. Furthermore, it's absolutely impossible to get the achievement where you lose no men. Edited April 7, 2017 by The Soldier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's imagining the response to having a Fort Sumter scenario. I don't see the point of a Fort Sumter scenario. It was pretty much a bombardment by the CSA, not an actual battle. So not much to do for either side. Perhaps OP didn't know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wandering1 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Sarcasm is hard on the internet. But let me help add to the sarcasm: Tutorial didn't give me enough npc cannons to sacrifice to feed my own stocks after battle. /cry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he just came out of nowhere complaining about the game. I agree, Fort Sumter is pointless. they shoot it up and it ends. There was no pitched battle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aetius Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 You could have it set up that if you prevent your artillery from firing, you automatically win the war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean when you do a mass charge with your scenario-provided cannons they don't win the melee? Noob! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wiard guns were actually some of the best artillery produced in the war. It kind of irks me that they are speced so low in the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A full battery of QF 25-PDR British Field Guns in the middle of a Civil War battlefield doesn't seem right to you? Go figure. The Soldier suggested I stop playing Steel Division and keep on task back here at home. I am getting my ordnance confused. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naw, nothin' like proper British artillery Quick-Firing 25-Pounder howitzers 60 years ahead of time to pound the enemy to a fine paste.

Wandering1 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 It does bring one to wonder why they stopped at 25, considering 24 was used in the ACW. I mean, the Russians at least thought bigger was better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
