Half an hour until our first line battle in about a week, hopefully everyone's honed their aiming and bayonet skills!*

I haven't even touched the game in the past week due to the Brave New World vortex. Let's do this.

Heading back to the North and South posts from a couple of weeks ago, blowing the dust off, and perhaps sweeping a cobweb or two away...

For those wishing to indulge in North and South again, or perhaps if there are any more events, this Tumblr blog is defiantly worth a visit, and will help you brush up on your Civil War facial hair!

I take it goons are still going strong in this? I only have a couple bucks left in my Steam wallet and this is on the shortlist before the end of the summer sale.

Yeah, around 15-20 strong in most line battles.

I urge any goon from the US or EU to pick it up dirt cheap and give some line battling a try.

OK, so some guys in the Mumble asked for clarification on the Augurs of the Bird. Here's a tentative list of what means what, as far as I know:
Killing the bird on the first volley: the battle will probably not go well.
Missing the first volley but killing the bird on subsequent volleys: the battle will probably go well.
Ignoring the bird: The Bird, in its infinite and all-knowing yet inscrutable ways, will decide how best to deal with us.
The map does not feature birds: we're hosed, bub.

Still in the process of collecting evidence on what happens if there's more than one bird (and all esulting variations thereof), if just one guy fires on the bird (and whether or not he hits), etc.

General Changes
- When a unit dies that carries a shovel in his backpack, it will always be dropped on the floor so people can pick it up and use it to remove earthworks that might be in the way.
- When a unit dies that carries a Ramrod in his backpack, it will always be dropped on the floor so people can pick it up and use it.
(Actually loving useful here!)
- Added a extra caption to Internal Admin chat, so you can tell them apart.

Balance Changes
- Reduced the length of the cavalry swords a bit, they had ghostly long range.
- Made all artillery less accurate on long range to balance the powerfull destruction force.
- Reduced the range an explosion would have by 30%, to balance the extremely powerful howitzers and mortars.
- Made cannonballs lose more force on ground hit and bounce less to make them less unstoppable.
- Made pistols some more accurate, it will now really hit within the player visible circle, to balance them, the reload is now slightly slower though (Question is, will they be more lethal?).
- Decreased the damage the rifle in melee would inflict, they were more powerful than most real melee weapons
- Increased the Rifle Melee swing animation speed
- Reduced the health of all medium and heavy horses to balance their classes.
- Made the armor points of the british cavalry helmets to be on par with other factions helmets.
- Removed the blunderbuss from the selection for russian dragoon cavalry they were too powerfull for that class (And thus the pointless hate over musketoons reaches its climax).
- Boats respawn much faster now.
- Changed several maps to make them more balanced.

Bug Fixes THESE HAVE BEEN IN SINCE RELEASE! thanks for ignoring them for pointlessly balancing the universally terrible melee system instead for a year you jerks!
- Fixed a bug with some rocks uses in maps that were not having a collision mesh which allowed people to hide in.
- Fixed all collision meshes for trees, should now not block bullets on wrong places, and some trees were walk through, now not anymore.
- Fixed collision mesh for the sandbags which will now block bullets on the right places and not in thin air.
- Fixed collision mesh of the couch so it won't block bullets in thin air.
- Fixed that when you switch your weapon to melee you would walk slower.
- Fixed all cases that some ranks and some units were running faster or slower than others.
- Fixed several bugged collision meshes.
- Fixed several bugs on maps.
- Fixed a bug in the admin panel that it sometimes selected the wrong player, or does not work at all when clicking a player.
- Fixed a bug that allowed the prussian guard drummer to ride horses.
- Fixed a glitch that allowed you to teleport into a building by playing a piano from it�s backside.
- Fixed an exploit that allowed you to play two tunes at once as a musician (FSE clearly have no sense of humour).
- Fixed a bug in siege that some doors are reversed, can be walked through when closed and so on.
- ze_treasure prop will now always give out pirate hats to the user.
- Fixed a bug that spawned birds randomly on all custom maps (LAME.

Some needless fixes, some vital ones. Still wish they gave the Prussians Light Infantry and increased the numbers to 250 but I also wish I was tanned and had a more exotic accent for the ladies. Welp.

Now to check to see if the mods are working or not!

Oh, and Blood And Iron event at 8PM EST tonight. Assuming the mod is working.

EDIT: Crosshair mod still work, all bicorns but British cav are still there too. Blood and Iron needs updated servers to play on.

Serious talk: New Siege maps are nice, some are tweaked custom maps though. Siege events will have some more variety too them.

Love the Bavarian guys with their condom hats and sky blue jackets.

Why would they put in a cannon/rocket boat if it can't fire? I hope the rocket boat at least goes fast.

Maybe they are hoping a mod finds a way first to do it and then add the feature?

I tried out the new patch on a public siege server. The Siege of Toulon maps requires the British to sail on the French island in several small boats. Needless to say, it's a constant spectacle of pirate yells, people falling into the ocean and teamkills. Can't wait to see a line battle version! :allears:

Apparently that was the fault of the FSE, they have given server owners a bugged set of files. They just released the fix patch for it.

We got another American Blood And Iron event tonight at 8PM EST!

Do we know the stats of the new infantry classes (i.e. how does a Royal Marine compare against Line Infantry or Light Infantry)?

SeanBeansShako: Nov 20, 2009; Now the Drums beat up again,

Royal Marine is essentially just Line Infantry stats wise.

Also, two events tonight. Blood and Iron EU event at 9PM GMT/10PM EU central and American NW event at 9PM EST.
