Dear fans and players of NTW3,
We're happy to announce the release of the new 5.1 patch on which we have been working on for the past few months.
Major Improvements to SP Campaign and to unit cards have been done . Avon, Davn, Cosak, AL42, Gironna and Uxbridge from the Lordz Modding Collective, have to be especially thanked for their work for this patch.
No capital changes to MP (except Al42's major update to unit cards), some additional units here and there, fine-tuning of battle mechanics, unit stats and debugging.
In a glance:
- Better handling of charges on the flanks (not perfect, just a bit better)
- Significant increase in the effectiveness of the cavalry charge, especially for heavy and lancer cavalries.
- Major change in the British firing tactics/mechanics to simulate the Brown Bess, with extremely effective short range fire
- Correction of the time certain units take to unleash a volley after they stopped marching
- Reduction of long-range bullet fatalities
- Overall reduction in prices for the most expensive units, especially heavy cavalry
- Russia: better accuracy, worst reloading, light infantry are worse, faster grenadiers (as fast as other nations light infantry), Cossacks are deployable as guerrillas (outside of the deployment zone)
- Imperial Guard: reduction of 5 to 10% of costs, Velites of Florence and Turin reduced to one battalion only
~Lord Cosak
- General Staff info cards for the major factions.
- The Duke of Brunswick now has a complete info card with HIS historical NOTES.
- Corrections to the Spanish faction recommended by Uxbridge.
- Also a uniform correction for Portugal General Pedro Almeida is included.
- AL42 updated a lot of faction rosters unit cards, both for SP and MP modes. (looks great !)
- SP/MP localization edits; about 30 new & specific unit descriptions.
