Dispatch from Cavalry

[Salty Sails]

hey guys...

 

first i have to say,

i m from germany and 35 years old and such a huge fan from the civil war history. I love this game, since i played gettysburg.

Now my question or suggestion... i would like to dispatch some men from my 750 men cavalry. I dont like to scout with 750 men...

75-100 dispatched scouts from my unit would be amazing!

thx

That's a really good idea actually.

The function already exists with infantry, so it doesn't seem too difficult to add that option?  Devs would know more!  Yes, great idea.

Hope, Nick is thinking about it for next patch...would be very cool and usefull!

FWIW, I think it's probably better to scout with 750 men anyway. Yes, they're more at risk if you weren't paying attention, but on trade they're more able to take advantage of unguarded artillery or a weak retreating unit than just a scout cavalry group. (Also cavalry should always be paired with detached skirmishers to bullet shield for them anyway but that's a separate thing.)

But even so, its a choice that you could make to get a smaller scouting party.

I think that depends on the map and amount of cav I have free at any given moment. The ability to double my los scouting would be very useful in certain circumstances

It would need to be tied up into stealth as well. It's a lot easier to hide a hundred horses than 750.
