artillery in land battles?

[Luther]

Anyone ever seen these? I haven't. How big does the opposing army need to be to see some cannons?

Yeah, the very fist build we got had the artillery in it, but they took it out. It was pretty cumbersome honestly and we're not missing anything by losing them.

I read somehwhere the first build of Pirates used the Sid Meier's Antietam engine for land battles, it was too complicated in that it really slowed land battles down and made Pirates almost a turn based combat game. Something along those lines...

I played Sid Meier's Antietam, Those battles are meant to hold thousands of men on the battlefield at one time. Also the system of battle lines, and formations used in that game are not really what you are looking for in SMP!. Also SMAntietem isn't a turn based game, you and your enemy move troops at the same time.
