Barricade is worthless, now.

I was never a fan of the barricade power for musketeers. Most maps did not have places where a barricade would be a good defensive move. In addition since musketeers can't fire through or over it, it made little sense.

Now, however, it seems that barricades can only be set up directly vertically, horizontally, or diagonally from your musketeer. Which means you often have to move your musketeer first to be able to place the barricade in that one bottleneck on the map.

But, of course, by the time you get your musketeer in the spot to put that barricade up...the enemy is already through the bottleneck.

Gee, thanks for making a weak power totally useless.

If you think it's useless, then you're using it incorrectly.

what is the current way to best use this power? it is a bit unwieldy in terms of musket not being able to shoot through it(if its THEIR barricade)..can make it then back up I guess..
though when I first considered it I imagined that it be more like irl if you made a barricade in front of you, you would then leave a tiny hole in it through which you might shoot at your enemy..whatcha think? Does this improvement idea seem too op? if so maybe ONLY the pirate that places barricade and not their companions can shoot through or out from behind the barricade?
