Good news M....I also hope to be fit for action soon, I think I'm over the worst of this illness, or I hope so anyway, if it gets any worse I'm in real trouble.....I'll check the CB wiki site out later/tomorrow.

Hi, I'm waiting for last version of CB too. Thanks for the work.

Excellent news M
I assume our testers beta versions will not require any updating

I'm sure that's right Dougie, I spoke to soon above, I feel even worse now, I do hope to be back to full time duty very soon, but.........

new version seems really exciting, i think the pricing really changed cause now we can form over 4000 men easily with 12000 florins.
By the way, what s the price of Prussian Landwehr?did i miss smth?

Prussian Landwehr infantry is 325f. Landwehr cavalry is 275.

The biggest change in price you have probably noticed is between the lightest militia type cavalry and the heavy elite guard type cavalry, outside of that change there isn't a lot of differences aside from the odd unit or two like rifles.

There seems to be a somewhat natural balance in CB which gives fairly balanced armies of about 3500 men. You can push up as high as 4000 but to do this you need to reduce support like cavalry and artillery. Likewise you can go as low as say 2800-3000 but then, although your troops are probably going to be high quality they run the real risk of simply being swamped with enemy numbers.

Even in CB32 we all experimented for a time with very large armies of 3900-4100 men but I think most who tried this would agree that because of a lack of artillery and cavalry these types of armies are not very flexible and are quite defeatable by an opposing commander once he gets his mind over the huge numbers he is facing.

Cheers, M.

i see.

Btw, Moopere, what does "All nations infantry militia have their visual formation changed to untrained to give the impression of a less professional unit and Militia cavalry units have their visual formation changed to untrained " mean?

The best way to see this is probably before your troops are engaged in action but are lined up in formation. Have a look at the difference in how your line or guard troops look compared to your militia....the line are all lined up neatly in what appears to be tightly disciplined ranks, the militia look a bit more straggly. Light troops are in between and are not quite as neat as the line/guard.

This is mainly a visual effect, but not entirely. Troops in tight formation are more likely to resist a breakthrough by the enemy who is charging them. Under the right conditions cavalry might be able to charge right through a militia infantry unit, and once the enemy is behind you your units morale fades fast.....

Cheers, M.

Maybe strange that i post that after 4 months but i realised a topic in lordz forum...

As far as i know it is impossible to play Corps Battles without having "CB_v3.2_CA" AND then "CB_v321d_A" installed on your computer. But where is that v32 download link, i am also confused maybe like Marshal Beale? We currently have 321 link on corps site...

Hi Guys,

CB321 is all you need. It functions as a patch _and_ a full install.

Oh, and by the way, a new patch really is coming, I know its been slow and I appreciate everyone's patience.

Same old tired excuses I'm afraid, life is busy and getting busier, I've really only got to finish play testing and package the thing, stay tuned.

When the new patch arrives I'll try my hardest to add more clarity to the CB wiki site.

Regards, Moopere

i dont want to stir up trouble but i remember when i downloaded only 321 and tried a battle with Gunner-Dougiej, it gave me "different version" error. Moreover it was impossible for us to play 2v2 that night so i reinstalled 32 and THEN 321. It was working. Hope i am mistaken. Anyway, patch is on the way already as you say so so wont be a problem i guess.

Yes, I remember this. I couldn't replicate the problem here though (and therefore couldn't solve it) and hope that maybe it was map related.

Regards, M.
