Artillery:
- Everyone knew that cannonballs could run out so artillery was kept firing indefinitely by using 20 lb stones shat by the cannon crew of the day.
- Artillery horses can break all notionable laws of physics by jumping into a portal void when the cannon is readied to fire.
- Hats on the artillery crew had a tendency to hover behind them instead of rest on their heads.
Cavalry:
- Russian policemen lose every single notion of personal space in a charge when a lone cavalry archer joins their party. (The Kivlov oprichinik box)
- Ranged cavalry of the day were so crappy at their job of strafing, they always had to stop their horse completely in order to fire a shot.
- If 40 minutes went by, your elite cavalrymen wore breastplates, and they are of French blood, you are promptly labeled a dick by every commander against you.
Infantry:
- It wasn't just the military that was color coded, every freakin' object related to their order was drenched in a vomit-inducingly bright texture of the same color.
- If you are Russian or Chinese, even if you possess rifles and well-crafted muskets that were of a standard rivaling Britain, your bullets automatically digress to the stopping power of a BB bullet fired from a slingshot.
- Iroquois Tomahawks fire bullets from their axes.
Other:
- Obviously the standards of courting and marrying a woman have risen expedentially considering today. not two to three centuries ago, it would only cost one hundred pieces of steak to get a woman.
