Love the mod and I'll wait for the update, which looks even better. :)
Thank you very much, we appreciate it :)
will there be more units or factions for south america campaign?
Indeed there will be! The next release will have a massive update to South America, featuring several new playable and emergent factions to fit into our extended map for that update. Check out our Official YouTube channel to stay updated :)

Ya_Boi, hi, brother! Glad to see that your mod is going! Keep up the good work! You have now a lot of players in many communities!
Thanks man! Good to hear from you again. Glad you are still so positive about the mod :)
Been playing the Europe campaing and the growth is too slow, yet you go from absolute bankrupcy to millionare in 40 turns. Would be nice if you could have some bonus from colonization atleast in an abstract way (as the map only includes Europe). An America/Europe campaing would be godly too.
If you want ideas for the balance of gunpowder check Thera Mod with the faustians/spanish, feels great to play them
--BALANCE
1. Pikemen are too strong in melee, they anihilate units very quickly with their vanilla attack animation and high damage, their attack stat should be reduced to make them more defensive, makes for a more natural progression to pure musket
2. Ranged infantry have too much ammo, you are never forced to melee
3. Muskets shouldn't have that varied missile attack, it makes no sense, also their kill rate (due to their accuracy) is too slow, and the fact that they try to shoot like archers makes it even worse
4. There are line infantry units with horrible melee stats, they are just better musketeers at that point, its also feels unbalanced how varied it is between units with the same name but from different faction
5. 1 unit cap doesnt feel right, forces you to keep recruiting a unit and paying their mainteance if you want to replenish your forces
6. Sieges would play better if all maps were like the campaing fort (like how Empire Total War did it)
--ACCURACY
1. Artillery shouldnt have exploding ammo until late game, you could make it only for 24 pounder. Also why make the renaissance cannon a crappy mortar instead of a bombard
2. Late pikemen should be avaible from the start and then removed with an event.
3. Walls should have cannon/musket towers instead of archers
4. Grape shot not included?
--BUGS that you probably are aware of
1. Some units with bayonet have the spear+shield animations,
2. Grenadiers throw (shoot?) grenades from their almost textureless guns
3. artillery soldiers have guns that don't shoot, why not give them swords?
4. some faction generals have no weapon model, they strike with their bare hands
As my good friend Benisen said, we are aware of all of these. Battles are not the main focus of Lucium, and so thus far these have persisted within the mod. They will be fixed for the next released version. (aside from the ones where we'd need a battle map modeller)
1. I don't think so.. They're quite easy to kill off from distance and even late units can wipe them out in melee.
3. Regarding archer firing.. Yea That's mainly because of engine and terrain so they kinda fire like archers altough I may be wrong..
6. Can't do anything. This would need a battle map modder and those modders are sadly quite rare.
--BUGS
Aware of the 1, 2, 4.
3. Huh.. Fair point but that would require modeler..
Ya_boi can answer the rest.
Glad to hear you aren't done with the mod.
1. Main problem is in siege walls where they aren't supposed to use pikes (you could fix them going up there by defining them as artillery)
3. Vanilla musketeers don't do this so this should be fixable somehow
6. Im not sure how maps are handled but maybe you can make the game use the campaing fort map for settlements in some text file.
Also i see there are "riflemen" units with winchesters, any plans to include a cannon like the armstrong gun?
1. We cannot prevent units from going up walls. All units that are dismounted or not attached at that point to a piece of artillery can ascend walls. This includes cannon crew that is not attached to an artillery anymore.
2. Indeed, it was changed to do so in order to counteract the effects of Muskets thinking they can fire over a wall, but instead firing straight into that wall. We could not find a way to stop the AI doing this, and so nominated to make them actually able to fire over that wall. This will however be changed, due to immense popular demand.
6. We cannot do that. Changing the battle maps would require a battle map modeller as stated by Benisen.
We have a form of the Armstrong Gun in the 6-Pounder already. Aside from this there are no plans currently to expand the Artillery roster.
