Element .. Hellp Mate !!!

I love this post .. it finally clicked in my brain there is a Program Group duh I just been clicking on the shortcut and playing the game and going into the game directory to get the manual.

Regarding the keyboard ... I took a screenshot of the keyboard thing when it popped up and printed it out but it didn't print so well even after I cropped it etc. but yeah it would be great to have it in options. In the manual the keys are mentioned over 5 pages or so .... I like to print out the page that a lot of games have that lists all the default keyboard commands

But anyway welcome to the war to bad you all didn't have a full blown Civil War in Britain .... then we could have a game about it .... but at least you have the drama with Ireland and all the medieval stuff.

Long live the Queen
This is Abner Monroe Perrin born Edgefield County, South Carolina born Feb 8th 1827 fought in Gettysburg and other engagements.

"Maj. Gen. Edward "Allegheny" Johnson's division was captured on May 12, 1864, units from the Third Corps—including Perrin's brigade—were called in to help. Leading his troops in a spirited counterattack through a very heavy fire, with his sword in hand, Perrin fell from his horse pierced by seven bullets. He died instantly.

Perrin is buried in the Confederate Cemetery in Fredericksburg, Virginia." source wiki

Haha, check out our history from 1640 to 1660 ;)

A pretty good game was made of this for Medieval II Total War. A mod called 'For King or Country'. I played it a lot, a great mod that captured the mood of the 1640s very well. The site of the first big battle of the war is only a mile from where I live.

My avatar shows me wearing my musketeers uniform of Sir John Vavasour's Regiment of Foote, a Cornish regiment that fought with Lord Hopton's army.
