does any one know how to cheat so that i can get musketeers as england? i know england had muskets i want them so bad to tke the Spanish and Aztecs

fight well and you won`t need them.... they`re easily defeated by a carefull assault on their position and a charge of cavalry will sweep them away when they`re repositioning

Hit the ~ key then type

they're actually not that great. they're lightly armoured and when in melee pretty much dead. i hardly use them

They can be used wisely though. They are actually far more powerful than they should be. They are accurate from much further than the weapons should be. Plus they can shoot "through" protecting infantry. So a simple, yet effective set up is to keep infantry or pike immediately behind your musketeers, and then, when faced with a charge, move them right in front. Works great for me.

Also, I would like any newer versions to allow for mixed units. The Spanish Terceros (sp?) were actually comprised of a square of pikemen with gunpowder units inside the square who could shoot from the edge of the square, but then disappear inside to reload or if faced with a charge. all imo
