    Nobody's talking about player names tho. :-/

    Lightbulb Enabling smaller groups to take part in large-scaled battle

    While everybody can form a company with that tool, we should have 2 types of companies:

    "Muster" and "Enlisted"

    Muster: This company is in progress and doesn't consist of 10 soldiers yet. The company does not leave for the drill camp yet.
    Enlisted: This company is formed and is part of the army now. The company is already on the field.

    Once a company reachs 10 soldiers, the company commander can try to enlist into the army.
    The company needs to be approved by an admin/company moderator.


    Anyone has better words for Muster and Enlisted?!

    Something like "mercenaries" (guys purchased from border countries),who could then during a battle strenghten numbers of
    (1) a permanent company (if someone would accept them)
    or
    (2) a new temporary company (name randomly generated?) could be formed on each side before the start of battle, giving smaller groups or even lone wolves the possibility to take part in larger scale battles. Then they could vote for a leader (or someone capable could be assigned by an admin), who would then lead them during the battle.

    I know this game is aimed more on groups than individuals. With this possibility the troll-rate () would increase and these companies would ofc. lack discipline most of the time(but wasn't that always the danger of mercs? ). If so, then for a newcomer such an unpleasant experience may encourage him to find a permanent group (a company) to play with, which in the final effect would strenghten the aspect this game mainly aims at and that is teamplay.

    Hopefully you understand how I mean it.

    PS: The last paragraph seems kinda philosophical

    I believe I read something from BraveScot that said the tool would be released in the next few months, so hopfully the whole tool is out by release

    I think this would be a great idea, as of now there are alot of small regiments in the North and South community that cant attend battles because of numbers, so if the devs integrate something like this, then no one will have to be left out

    Kind of counters what the devs have said in earlier posts that the tool to start with will only contain companies from the Maryland Campaign as it fits with them wanting to at the start to be historical. Only sometime after release of the main game will the ability to add non historical and companies from other campaigns be added.

    Never said anything like that mate. I know as little about the time of release as you.

    Tool had to be set back due to a dev leaving, its being made by other people now so its having to be remade, as far as im aware its a fair while from completion

    So what if a company decides to change it's regiment name?
    Would that be possible with a quick and easy name change, or would the entire company have to be deleted and THEN re-made as a new company in the new regiment?

    And also, will there be a feature grouping up battalions?

    I don't know if this had already been asked but I will ask it here: If I wanted to join a Union company and a Southern company, could I be in both at the same time? If so, what would I do if both were at the same event?
