Again, a must should be the secrecy option for ambush and secret, undercover movement. Both the AI and the other player in MP should not be allowed to see the flags, heads or musket/bayonet of regiments travelling with this option on when they are in corns, high grass, woods...etc. The good old method of Gen. Jackson with his Shenandoah Core.

It would be much more interesting in my opinion to organize the MP in a way so that there's not only a possibility to play 1vs1 but also 30 vs 30 battle for example where each player has his bdes committed in a larger picture commanded via courier by the army general player.

Oh i can't wait for this game to come out look at how beautiful the sprites look!

GShock:
What is 'tight Vic'? Do you have a link or more details?
Far as i can tell this video is ffdshow(?) or something and my WMP refuses to play it. It does play the first few seconds and then stops downloading.
Could be my slow dial up might have something to do with this also. IS ffdshow buffered or is it a real time video stream?

Also, everytime i try to play this thing, ffdshow audio and video icons pop up in the status bar with a ton of confusing codec options which i played around with but no luck. This ffdshow is new to me as i never heard of it until unfortunately NOW.
Can anyone here tell me exactly what codecs i need to play this thing AND how does all this interface into WMP which is the only video player on my PC.

I've never ever had so many kinds of problems with any other website. :(

go to www.download.com and download TIGHT VLC (or simply search for VLC). Not only it's free but also highly popular and u might find it in the homepage too.

Forget codecs, just dl that and you'll be able to see everything, u dont need anything else.

I agree with whoever said this, but the ability not to see a unit in corn until it is blah feet away from you (high corn). Then we need the ability to have them be stunned and not fire right away.

Thanks for the info GShock!
I'll try downloading that sometime in the next few days. I just hope its not a mega mega file which i'll have to download during the night because of my dialup...and keep my fingers crossed there's no telco dropouts.

one thing, do you have permition to use the music from the movie, those things are copyrighted, and if the game becomes as succsesfull as we all hope, and you don't have permition you might get sued, even if it's only for a trailer

It isn't the exact music. They modded the Gburg music and added some stuff, the music in the movie isn't quite the same.
