Test of 18th century tactic with sweden Darthmod 0.85

[tomaswestholm2]

det är en tech, fire by rank. i battles så får man den automatiskt om man har ställt in på time period late

[DanielHAkerman]

Hur gör du så hela ranken skjuter samtidigt, är det tack vare Darthmod?

[DavBlc7]

Strange that in real history there's no wars between Sweden and Britain in any 18th Century war unless I am wrong - Sweden mostly went to war against Russia under Peter the Great and Prussia under Fredrick the Great - both won victories against the Swedes who lost the Baltic areas.

Peter the Great founded the city of St Petersburg around the time of the war against the Swedes.

[DanielHAkerman]

@DavBlc7 Actually Sweden went to war 2 times agaist Great Britains allies, the first time in the War of Austrian Succession (in Sweden " the Hats russian war") 1740-1748 and the second time in the Seven Years' War (in Sweden "the Pomeranian War") 1756-1763, so Sweden was in war with Great Britain in the 18th century.

[Tappermccabe]

How did you get a general on foot?

[emperorfrance]

the sound needs a few adjustments

[yousuckhardtime]

isnt this just a normal tactic?

shoot at them and then charge teh bastards ?

[kabur88]

Well you could do what i use and that is to give a volley of fire, assemble my men into columns and then charge. The force of the charge is very important as it can split the enemy line into 2

[lolisho0]

ya sweden rules !

[kakan113]

The swedes. Didnt fire until they saw the white in the enemies eyes. and that gave a horrific effect.

After that volley they charged with Bayonets and swords. and the Swedish cav smashed in the there flanks.

[sebas379]

at 4:00 arises the perfect opportunity to hit the enemy full in their flank and rear with your separated unit on the left flank. You could have caught the enemy in a pincer that way.

At least, that's what I do with Cossacks in these situations (18thC warfare)

[sebas379]

I gotta take that back since you managed to get a unit behind the british. In that case you can surround them by moving the before mentioned squad to the right (rougly the direction where your centre came from in the beginning) and thus surround the enemy troops:)

[Zackaw]

(Reply to comment on century structure)

Actually, there is no year 0 in the Gregorian calendar. I think it's got something to do with Europeans not having the concept of 0 until later, but I'm not sure.

Do some research, that's what I've started to do after I considered your very good point.

But yeah, apparently there's no year 0.

[sebas379]

i believe it is because it's rahter strange. when you count something, you start counting with 1, 2, etc. you don't start with 0. the first object is the 1st object, not the 0st one.

sounds pretty simple, but that's the best reason I can think of

[Zackaw]

What tactic are you testing?

[xXblackop96Xx]

does this mod really helps? or u r a good player...?

[Delta0014]

yo this redcoat got kicked in the BALLS

[asdklasdjasd]

4:50 Fail!

[onlypeaceindeath]

Question. Have they decrased the staying power of infantry against cavalry if they are not in a square formation. Im tired of my cavalry having to spend minutes of close combat against an infantry unit even if i attack them in the flank. Cavalry needs far more punch in its charges to be considered effective, especially when in a wedge or diamond formation. I would be glad if someone could tell me.

[cjbrother88]

In war well trained troops help but its how u use the resources and surrounding u have that always determine the out come of a battle. Well if there is a stupid commander in charge its alot easier lol. Also in the 18th century if u look at most battles they were won not by goin up the middle but through use of terrain and flanking.

[MasterOfFlash92]

Thank u!

ur the first person in like 15 ETW vids that rly gets the whole idea!

thank god there r some sane player left :) u wanna fight me in ETW MP?

winns come way too easy now since ppl dont know how to use true tactics.

[Dr5743]

Go British!

[cbaabcjosh]

woo

[2ndpadrummer]

so it was like a early cover fire i suppose

[LeviFOE]

What is the initial tactic here?

[XtyanX]

yay, cause of the new patch AI now does sea-land invasion (if you were gb you could be sure london, dublin, edinburg wouldn't be attacked.

[insainiac33]

When did this patch come out, and does it download automatically?

[MasterOfFlash92]

heheeh :D its a mod lol

[iamabsFTW]

1800th century? wow its alredi the year 180,000

[XtyanX]

1800th century is from year 170,000 to 179,999. But there is standing 18th century.

[LeviFOE]

1700-1799 is 18th century.

[templar555]

@LeviFOE 1701-1800 is 18th century

[Zackaw]

The 21st century began in 2000. Don't you remember that? The beginning of a new century and a new millenium, y2k and all that? The 20th century began in 1900, the 19th in 1800, and the 18th in 1700.

[sebas379]

no, the 21st started in 2001, because otherwise the 1st century started in the year 0

[xtremetuberVII]

I used that tactic a lot. This video pleases me. Now... regarding the people who forgot when centuries start and end... mentioning names, @templar555 The 18th century began in 1700, and ended in the year 1799, because, of that crappy not having a year 0 thing on the calendar. A century is 100 years, and since we didn't have a year 0, we take away 1 thus making the year 1 to 99 the first century. End of message. That is all!

[yousuckhardtime]

@xtremetuberVII

thats not cool. :[

[2ndpadrummer]

so wut wuz the tactict?

[CRYSIS132]

the first army attack and the athor army shoot

[2ndpadrummer]

awsome so half the army fires while the other charges?

[CRYSIS132]

yeah sweden was traind to do that. if you dont train you will shoot your friends

[SGTBOSS]

hur har du gjort så att svenskarna har gula byxor ?

[CrazyVT22]

hmm i never knew there was a year 170000...

its 18 century not 1800 century

[SmokinAce111]

ok boss

[BillsFan716]

Seriously?

[Magnus72]

Well if you mean the Gå På tactic then you would have stopped just in front of the english ca 30 paces and fired your muskets and then charged. Not an all way charge from the start.

[melin1971]

yup...you have right, did little wrong here.

[CruxisNL]

This might be a stupid question, but at 0:59 you moved your whole army forward in the same formation they were marching in. How did you do that? 'Cause I want to do that too. Now it's terribly hard to let my ''V formation'' march, gotta select the two lines seperately...

(Excuse me for my bad English, I hope you understand what I mean'

[melin1971]

you use the arrow and the right side of the panel when you have the army selected,

[CruxisNL]

Wow, thanks man! This'll really help me out in the battles!

[smarzotais]

or select all your army in formation, group them with the 3 flags in a square button under that arrow he just told you about... then select the group and move it...

[yousuckhardtime]

@CruxisNL

I asume your dutch so i'll say it in dutch

Je moet eerst wel al je manschappen in 1 groep selecteren, en niet verschillende groepen hebben, want dan gaan ze door elkaar als je 2 groepen hebt. dus als je gewoon al je infantrie in 1 groep zet dan marcheren ze netjes vooruit. :]

[JasonNaughty]

vad gör det här modet är det bara utseende eller?

[melin1971]

nej den gör hur mycket som helst på hur det skjuter, hur AI uppför sig mm mm mm. Men imorron kommer en ny FET patch som ska fixa över 70 buggar, så jag ska spela lite vanlilla ett tag för att se vad som här bättre..ja..lite smokemod, soundmod och sånt förstås måste man ju ha =) men sånt som ändrar AI och sånt kommer jag vänta med tills jag vet hur patchen blev.

[2ndpadrummer]

why did the drummer at 3:12 have a white tricorn hat on?

[melin1971]

the mod is bugged, the new swedish line texture

[JacobBlair1]

I wish my graphics card was a little better so it could look like this

[CrownPrinceofSweden]

The swedish tactic at 18th century was a little diffrent then you did. Sweden walked up to the enemy and when they was 50 meters away they fired and then they walked up to 30 meters and fired and then after that they charged. (sry for my bad english)

[melin1971]

antar att du är svensk =) är ju youtube måste ju inte vara på engelska. men du har helt correct, anfallen gick till som du beskriver, jag läste det själv efter jag hade gjort den här videon, så man kanske ska ta göra en ny som är mer correct. jagh ar även provat en riktigt uppställning med pikemen och sånt, men min datorn tyckte det var lite för mycket folk, hade 3500 men i armen på min sida och nästan like mycket på fiende sidan. men det såg mäktigt ut i all fall :D

[CrownPrinceofSweden]

Har lärt mig mycket ur serierna ur hermans historier.

[VNSFILMS]

What the helll is the mod here someone plezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz tell me

[sadhukar]

are you retarded or something?

it says "darthmod" clearly on the video title

[1993truls]

when all those swedes shoot, it sounds like a machinegun^^

[TheGrassyKnoll1963]

Is there anything realistic about this mod or is it just altered to people's preference with no regard for historical accuracy?

[Warhawk339]

For now, Darthmod just focuses on improving the AI. Not sure about future plans though.

[CISHR]

You shot too early :P Great mod though I think its easy when compared to IS. More fun though.

[melin1971]

yup i did...I should allmost half that distans before the shot.

[Carnage1235]

What do you press to get that screen that comes up to tell you the statistics of the units and some such. (at 0:22)

[melin1971]

right klick on the units cards

[Carnage1235]

What do you keep this on?

Everything for me is on high,

Except Unit Detail and Ship Detail which I keep on Ultra, and I keep Grass off and Trees low. What do you have?

[melin1971]

I have Ultra on, texture, the look of the units, Water, Shadows, then I have High on gras, Hight on tree, High on sky, AA 2.x and in this I had the onter one on 2x but I have changed that back to trillinier, got to poor FPS in big battles. Hardware shadows on, heat on, HDR on,

[ikickedu]

Would have been great, except the execution was a tad slow :P.

[turkishmassive]

thx mate

[turkishmassive]

so its more realistic??

[melin1971]

it should be, not total realictic but way better then vanila

[turkishmassive]

what does this mod do? all ı can see is that the bullet traces are gone

[melin1971]

change a lots of the stats for muskuts, moral and mutch mutch more.
