Musket and Pike series...

[Xaver]

In REN muskets have range 4, i imagine this is to made them diferent to arquebus even when both are basically in effective combat range practically the same compared with posterior XXVIII muskets... the diference is more in that with time fire weapons become more portable,reliable and with the introduction of bayonet you can have all infantry armed with fireweapons that can work as pikes with a great increase of units firepower and the viable use of solo musket armed units because they can selfdefense VS calvary and other infantry in close combat.

The REN periods muskets were closer to minicanons i allways find them like WWII AT rifles but instead VS tanks VS armored infantry-cavalry, you need wait until late XXVII century to see the fall of armor protection.

In the engine if fire units can only use 50% of their action points to fire they are going to be a lot more usable because you can move forward leaving the infantry cover, fire and return to the infantry protection... if you dont suffer a disruption in the movement phase.... with this is not necesary have a range of 4 for muskets, you can have arquebus+muskets with range 2 with a diference in firepower being muskets more powerfull at range 2 but maybe weaker at range 1 because they have slower reload time.

The unit art is great in 2D for REN maybe 3D needs be closer to nap serie with smaller infantry soldiers but more dense doing like in "Pike and shot" to represent pikes in formations.

PD: if i dont remember bad somebody is working in a mod for REN... unit art and terrain... i dont remember now if is one mod or 2 diferent mods...
