Bonjour,

Nice to see the squares.  

About the position of the cannon, it seems to shoot right in the back of the troops?
Wasn't cannons placed in the corner?

Bonjour Everybody,

Yes Lars.. The cannons were placed in the corner of the square...

It's not easy to do  this in the game. The problem is for controling the trajectories of 300+ graphical units (75 men  per BTL, 14 entities for a 12 pounds) So, I do a simplication. The cannon keeps his place and the men do the square.

I hope my choice is good :wink:

Important note : there is a gap in the side of the square and the cannon doesn't shot his men.  (I'll make a screenshot asap)

Well, it's always a time when you have make compromises. I fully understand your choice.  :wink:

P.S. I have not seen cannons in the corner of a square in other games either.

Does the gap follow if the cannnon change target area, let's say from left to right?
