What role will you play?

[Rithal]

Seeing that we are getting closer and closer to release, it might be fun to see what everyone is interested in doing when they get the game (or play it in open beta maybe? :rolleyes: )

[PvtPalmer11pvi]

Can I only pick one? :P

[Rithal]

Pick your favorite :D

[Hinkel]

Nothing more then a Major general of course! :)
I am leading a Corps! :D

[Soulfly]

and i would be honored to drill your recruits as an NCO, Sir !

[FalloutDud3]

I would be an Enlisted at the bottom of the ranks due to me really enjoying the feeling of being part of something bigger and following an flag around. I would also want to be an Skirmisher just one manning running around hiding in bushes shooting at people then rinse, lather, repeat. And I think I would play an Arty-man but only if its actually interactive/intuitive.... just as long as its better than Napoleonic Wars cannons and arty! *Mount and Blade Warband DLC*

[Hampi]

I would like to play a skirmisher. Swarming around the front of my regiment protecting it from the enemy sharpshooters in the tall grass. :)

[Gerassi]

Nothing like being a good, ol' meatshield. (Enlisted)

[AlekoTheGreek]

I always liked the "big guns" if you know what i mean ;)

[Kinghaas]

Is there going to be any type of cavalry?

[PurplePanda]

Probably a skirmishing role.

[Rithal]

Yeah, I guess I forgot to add cavalry to the poll, but there will probably be cavalry in the game I suspect.

[Estus]

Is there going to be any type of cavalry?

I don't think so.

[Vidas]

Of course I will try every position in this game, but I always wanted to be a commander, in this game - Officer.
Would like to test my own tactics and stuff, maybe win because of my awesome tactics :D

[Rithal]

I agree. As much as I would love to play in the ranks as a common soldier, the feeling that my actions influenced the entire battle as an officer would be pretty awesome. Then again, the feeling that my actions got the army outflanked and destroyed would not feel very nice. hehe

[PvtWill1stUS]

Hello, I just had a question about the roles. Will there be a specific class for the artillery guard, or will they just be regular infantry? Thanks!

[Ry1459]

I'm a sharpshooter of course!

[Bravescot]

I want to be the officer of sharpshooters....I don't know what to click!

[Rithal]

Hello, I just had a question about the roles. Will there be a specific class for the artillery guard, or will they just be regular infantry? Thanks!

Well, historically there weren't really guards for artillery. They would just be a company/regiment/battalion ect. that was tasked with guarding the artillery, or at least covering their retreat if attacked.

[PvtWill1stUS]

Ok, thanks for explaining it!

[Rithal]

Ok, thanks for explaining it!

No problem. I'm just happy to share what little historical knowledge I have acquired through video games and Wikipedia :D

[Bravescot]

Lots of Enlisted and officers so far! Not as many Artillery Crewmen as I thought there might be.

[Rithal]

So..... when do you think we can see some longer clips of gameplay? :)

[Simon445]

Sadly you can only choose one.

My favourite is standard guy (Musket + bayonet)

I would also like to be NCO or Skirmisher

[Lackay]

Officer
This Volunteer Firefighter must lead the Fire Zouaves, its only natural

[Hairywarhero]

[Arcturus]

I will be sure to steer clear and make sure I am not under your command. I enjoy not being dead XD

JK. You are probably a great leader.

[Devmc99]

Don't worry. They were just peasants. They were going to be replaced anyway.

[Hairywarhero]

I am no ones peasant. In the WI brigade they call me the Italian Stalin. Since I call everyone a fucking peasant and make them death charge. I'm taking leadership after Barbaneth. If they don't charge, I shoot them. If they aren't disciplined enough, I shoot them. If they are alive, I shoot them. Fucking peasants.

Hmm.... Not sure how liked you would be by your fellow officers if you took part in the Civil War. Someone might have had a problem with shooting your volunteers for lack of discipline. XD

Again, they are just peasants. They will be replaced anyway.

Artilleryman... I long to see my cannons decimate entire Confederate companies...

If you ever turn around and see a half naked confederate hiding in a bush with knife waiting to shank one of you for the good of the Confederacy and also to take the cannons to save the lives of hundreds.... it might be me :D

[Bravescot]

If a small band of green clad Sharpshooters don't find you first ;)

[Aniallator]

I am unshankable when I have my Model 1832 :D

Just how many half-naked Confederates do I need to watch out for?

[Bravescot]

[Rithal]

Approximately how ever many I can get to strip down after we spawn XD

[Aniallator]

Shanking and stripping... this should be an interesting game :p

[Hairywarhero]
