This mod is a combination of the legendary Empire Realism mod with parts of the Absolutum Dominium mod. The purpose of this mod is to give the ETW Realism mod a new look, while also giving Absolutum the spotlight it deserves.
Ruins the game. Another mod to fall victim to the "oh muskets were soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo innacurate back then." Bullcrap!
As a student of and user of 18th century gunnery myself, the inaccuracy of the smoothbore muskets in this mod are not realistic. A well trained musketman can hit his target up to 100 yards.
At 20 yards, where most of the battles are gonna be fought in this game, the carnage is actually more REALISTICALLY portrayed in the vanilla game.
Sure, rifled guns were more accurate, but these things worked as well and did most of the killing during these battles in the real 18th century.
I am just fed up that these modders (badly influenced by darthmod to this day) basically mod out all the experienced musketeers for untrained hobos and slap the label "rEaLiStIc gAyMpLaY" on it.
Well, it's not realistic. It is exaggeration. It is farb.

A really promising mod, although needs some adjustments.
