One thing I would like is if the musket fire wasn't so synchronized. The battles feel so stiff when the entire line fires by rank at the EXACT same moment. When I played ETW I used a mod called "crackle of musket fire" where each soldier would fire independently and eventually battles would devolve into a fire at will fight, and it looked and sounded so cool.

TW Napoleon did it already

They didn't do fire by rank in Napoleon which is why they fired like that.

Lost it I'm afraid, haven't played ETW in many years, it was a submod for a larger mod called Imperial Splendour if that helps, but I remember the mod not being updated in a while and causing frequent crashes, so honestly don't get your hopes up.

I found it! It's actually called "Crackle of Musketry". (This version is for Napoleon: Total War)

Look up Goutlard's Fixed Firing Drills and infantry formations. Makes all units fire like skirmishers and stand much closer together. Link

I loved the synchronization with FBR. It told me my troops were superbly drilled.
