A 1000 crossbow brigade could've wreaked havoc amongst the massed enemy lines. Wellington once considered using long bow archers. The training would've been too long. Crossbows are easy to use, fast and efficient. They could've even employed militia or reserve forces. A special brigade could weave in and out of the line infantry. They could've fired 10 bolts per minute or more. They would've decimated the enemy as well as the massed musket fire. Also why no breast plated armour??? No heavy tank style...

I used to play this game a few years back and have about 379 hours, but now (with the same PC) it freezes constantly. The only way to unfreeze it is to ALT+TAB in and out, but if I do it more than a few times it freezes permanently. This is the only game that does this, any fixes for this problem? I'd love to get back into this game......

I've been playing this since the beginning and unfortunately I get severely bored once I become one of the dominant nations. It becomes just too easy, repetitive and boring. I've tried all the Mods for this but i'm at the end of the road with ETW unfortunately. It's been a good run but I need something apart from a men in black style mind clearance to making this game great again in my head. Help lol....
