    A Jaeger looks almost exactly the same as a skirm, yet does insanely more damage...

    Using this post as an example...  There is no irony present at all, no debate, there just isnt any.

    Yeah, whoever made this post should hang themselves. Big Smile

    A measly sword-carrying Doppelsoldner, throwing small torches is better at taking down a building than a Grenadier, despite that being their sole purpose.

    Well, no-one can argue with that is being ironic...

    The following statement probably isnt: If u play as blue as the British, u can get Redcoats that arent red. Ironic?

    Soldiers in square formation do just as much damage to cavalry as in line formation, despite the fact that squares was historically designed to stop cavalry and lines were extremely vulnerble to calavry.

    I find it ironic that no one knows what irony is... or is that just an inconsistency?

     

    *sigh*
    Historically, Ranged cavalry didn't counter hand cavalry.
    Ruyters replaced lances with pistols utilizing the caricole tactic to shock pikemen and then they would ride down RI with swords.

    The purpose of a lance is to outrange a pike. Sowar/Mahout/Naginata make no sense...

    Hence theyve added Gribeauval System.

    And halberdiers arent meant to counter dragoons anyway...

    But it is in Moscow in the game so why would this be ironic...?

    What's your problem, why do you keep trying to kill this thread?

     

    Anyhow, some may notice that while a field gun and a culverin fire the same size cannonballs, the culverin does nothing vs infantry.

    I like your sig. Is that ironic?
