Treat them with great cautiousness, and never simply charge them in a massive blob as one of my enemies did once; I had 3 20Lb unicorns and got over 300 kills in one volley.
This is so true

Unicorns are defenetly overpowered - to play a nice multiplayergame its better to ban them

[Mashed_Bananas]

interesting..in sieges they are very op

I don't mind unicorns in open maps ie grassy flats, galacia but on cramped maps with lots of players like waterloo or maps with choke points they have an unfair advantage. The Worst map however is spanish lakeside try dealing with a unicorn on unflankable high ground. as an ATTACKER

Honestly I don't think that Howitzers are (that) overpowered,but Cannons are underpowered,especially vs Inf (they do decent damage against cav tho).The problem with Cannons is that the slightest hill or sloop on the map can mess things very badly for them.

That is a problem that commanders faced in real life, hence the struggle for good line of sight.

Napoleon himself was a trained artillery officer, and often commented on the importance of artillery. "Great battles are won with artillery" ; "God is on the side with the best artillery " and so on. Well manned artillery is the decisive difference in an otherwise even battle. Artillery caused many more casualties than is frequently portrayed in movies, because portraying that takes the romance out of war, it is simple killing and slaughter which no one wants to watch.

I have a question though. What is meant here by "unicorn"?

answer: the unicon is a russian artilery piece that is like a very powerfull howitzer

[SIRTHICCNESS69420]

the unicorn is not massivley OP in land battles because it still subscribes to the simple rules of artilery, cavalry and any confrontation with even mitita will be costly.

however, in a dencly packed fort the explosive shells wreak havok on men and fortifications. many people who i have fought on multiplayer run out of the fort when i shell it with 2-4 unicorns.

in conclusion, the gun is like any other artilery piece. under and overpowerd at the same timee

[Mashed_Bananas]

this is all very true!

[SIRTHICCNESS69420]

there good against forts(

[hegemoni]

had this chap-sitting on austerlitz hill-firing everygun imaginable-was forced to attack-never made it-so i wondered about the strength-of these guns-but realised-it was just the battle field-grape shot is underpowered-and never well aimed seemin-by my gunners

[Achilles_The_Worst_Basileus]

They are much to powerfull.

hmm, It depends. I mean any give game, or at least most games which allow artillery, I would definitely ban unicorns. However as I previously termed "Depends", what I mean is...let's say you want to organize a battle on Waterloo. Your defending against a friend, (Which is probably why the battle is organized in the first place). I would allow my friend or any attacker to use unicorns because I obviously have the height advantage. The same principle can be applied when playing on Austerlitz and that the attacker can respectively use unicorns. So it definitely depends to a certain extent, but only when the attacker is at a natural disadvantage is when i would allow it. Other than those situations I just explained, Unicorns should be, 85% of the time, banned from matches in Napoleon Total War.

Unicorns are Underpriced and should have the same cost as french grand battery

That said I'm happy to have unicorns on any open map or for the attackers in a confined map

Also rockets are just a joke they should be more like they were in empire but with a stronger moral effect

Thats overpricing it.No one would use it then. Just like the grand battery,it looks good with 8 cannons but no one buys it because they could've bought 2 line infantry and 1 millita.Overpice the unicorn or nerf it means no one will play russia because then their line infantry and light infantry is ♥♥♥♥ and will still be ♥♥♥♥ and cavalry is mostly heavy cavalry plus bad artillery.
