Highland Charge discussion

Black Watch: Give highlanders a global “highland charge” ability, similar to the carolean charge; enable training of highlanders at taverns and/or forts.

@AnghusKhan

During these rebellions the famous “Highland Charge” was popularized in Scottish military tactics, in which Highland troops would fire muskets, crouch low to drop them, draw their swords, shields, and dirks, and then charge headlong into the enemy.

now that highlanders will be more common, due to the new dutch HC card (and more viable scottish immigrants for USA), i was wondering if a carolean-like charge attack, would be a nice flavor? idk if it would be OP so i wanted to hear your oppinion on this

So funny thing to me in general… I almost feel like the Fusilier and Highlander mercs should trade stats, to better reflect the highland approach of aggressive and brazen tactics. But that is an aside.

I think it would defo be cool to see something like this. At the least there is a mod that gives them a basket sword and targe instead of bayonet anims for melee, appropriate to this style. I’d love to see that become official. If that could be combined with a melee charge ability, that’d be neat. Don’t know if it would be fair, however, as highlanders are still a model for stats for cost.

yeah it would definitely be scary to see 25 Highlanders charging to your cannons xD sadly im too stupid to mod it myself
