Reliving The Life Of A Civil Soldier

Onto The Battlefield

The first time you march onto the battlefield can be a little confusing, but after a few times you get used to it. The most important thing to remember is to always no matter what obey your officers!! If you don't the battle can get very unsafe! The only exception would be if he orders you to do something that you be unsafe.

Before you decide to 'die' you need to fall out of line, act like you got 'wounded' and then 'die'. This will be much appreciated by your fellow soldiers and officers! A good time to be shot is when there is lots of gunfire or when you are in range of a cannon. When you do get wounded or die try to make a good show of it because the public loves it when you do a dramactic death or start rolling on the ground screaming at the top of your lungs. Running hits are also very cool to watch!! Sometimes they have ground charges set up on the battlefield for exploding cannon ball effect. If you decide to get hit by one of these make sure you don't get too close otherwise you'll get dirt blown at your face. The two most important things to remember on the battlefield is be safe and have fun!!
