'Lo,

L'Aigle now features bot-controlled artillery in the mod. This great feature was coded by the talented DrTomas (of 1257 AD fame). These guns and their crews can be recruited from castles and will also be used by AI lords. The crews will automatically load, aim and fire the guns and can be given basic firing commands.

Artillery was naturally a huge part of Napoleonic warfare, Napoleon's innovative use of which was one of the most important things that made his armies so successful for so many years. It adds significant new depth to the battles in the mod and force the player to make the potentially difficult of decision choose between engaging in an artillery duel, or attempting to silence the enemy's guns via an attack.

In these screenshots you'll see some French artillery (supported by a company of Fusiliers) battering an enemy force in submission. Naturally, every faction will have unique and historically-accurate artillery crews.

Over the next while I'll be posting some exclusive images of artillerists' uniforms on my twitter account, so check that out if it interests you.

Thanks for reading and following the mod!

Here's what will happen when this thing is finally released.

1) Everyone's gonna throw a major downloading party.
2) ModDB's servers are gonna crash.
3) Everyone is in such utter despair and hysteria that they begin to destroy their computers in anger.

4) After realizing that they have now rashly destroyed the instrument by which they could have played this epic mod, they begin to try and steal computers from stores, using tactics such as rioting.

5) Everyone is arrested, and subsequently brought to jail. Somehow though, there's like a computer in the jail which the new inmates use to download M&B and L'Aigle. It becomes a worldwide prison cult to play this game while incarcerated online with other inmates.

6) An official server is dedicated to the inmates who play this game, and National Geographic or TLC or H&E or some station like that gives a show named "Mount & Blade Incarcerated". Everyone gets filthy rich from the show. We use our newfound wealth to pay back Docm for the all the blood sweat and tears he has spent working on this mod.

7) All is right with the world.

I post new screenshots and information constantly on the Taleworlds forums. It's just more of a hassle to post things here so I don't do it as often.

just because he hasn't updated for 3-4 weeks dosen't mean he has stopped working,

who knows, maybe he has personal issues or (don't let this happen) he's computer isn't working (he would maybe have a laptop to report it) or he's in full Work with the mod, and sure he could have stopped but i doubt it since he has put so much time into this mod and he's done (if not very close) with the with the hard part,

he could be also testing it and putting in missing Things, fixing bugs and adding in more things

Yep, I think so, on the forums there was a picture of Sharpe and his inclusion in the mod, (from quite a while ago however).
