While the game is functionnality the same, the change of setting results in some alterations of the gameplay. Firearms are now the master weapon on battlefield, most mêlée weapons have a very short reach (a lot of them are knives and small hatchets, though there still are spears and sabres), and armours don't offer much protection against a bullet.

* ChefOfIron: Companion Red Haired Sally presents herself as a cook during her recruitment dialog. Beside fighting, she hasn't any effect on the food, though.



** Red Haired Sally explains she's a cook when she's met in a saloon, and the dialog shows that she's indeedmore skilled in cooking than the player character. Hiring her hasn't any effect on the party's food, it's spoilage rate, or the food's morale buffs.

* RevolversAreJustBetter: Downplayed. While revolvers are the best ''handguns'' (almost all the non-revolver guns are crap, though there is a flintlock pistol among the top-three pistols), rifles are more powerful, more accurate, and the repeater rifles can carry at least as many ammunitions than the revolvers.

* AnAxeToGrind: A few Indian units wield small hatchets and tomahawks.
* ArmorIsUseless: Downplayed. There are functional armours and helmets in the mod, but due to the setting, they only consist in shirts / jackets (at best, hard leather clothes) and cow-boy hats, instead of chainmal and iron helmets. They just provide a very limited protection.
