I hope CA will take into account these pics and take care about the uniforms because it can add greatly in the ''looking'' factor and actually have historical depth without too much effort

I've just removed the [IMG] tags, leaving the images as links; just so this post is not so image-heavy. ~ Scorch

Good stuff, thanks.

[Orko]

Good! ETW now has also units!

[Hinkel]

You can see some of the uniforms in the gamestar screenshots

Most of the nations will have the same uniforms, but with a different color.

[cegorach]

Polish army of that period - from left to right - from early to late XVIIIth century. Cavalry is shown dismounted.

The pictures look good eighten-century uniforms look awsome but i would prefer them without so red cheeks.

[nodey]

[William the Bastard]

I have to say well done all for posting some fantastic pics. Anyone else wondering how they are going to amalgamate these uniforms into the game? Afterall on Med II each member of a unit had slight variations to their attire. In this game they will all HAVE to look the same (other than faces and height perhaps).

What I would love CA to do is to make each unit, after recruitment, have it's own identity and specific look. It wouldn't have to be entirely historically engineered either only loosely based would suffice.

[legate]

Yea! I hope CA takes in the fact that most infantry units wore white GAITORS not black boots!

[jo the greek]

those guys hoolding poleaxes and not being officers (they use to be equiptlike this) are units if they are this would be cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Since the colours of the different nations uniforms were , well, not very uniform during most of this century, I think CA will , like in previous games, assign a colour to a nation and have that as the base of it's uniforms.

England will be red, French White/Blue, Austria White/Red, Prussia Black, Russia Green, Spain will get something off yellow perhaps, the Americans blue, etc.

Edit - and then someone comes in with a realims mods and gives units better and more individual skins.

[Viriatus]

And what about the Portuguese army? Which by the way was integrated at that particular moment in the English army? See this thread for the best Portuguese unit at that time

http://www.napoleon-series.org/milit...cacadores.html

or this for some insight in the Portuguese army under British rule

http://www.napoleon-series.org/milit...ueseranks.html

And this site is in Portuguese language for getting an idea on Portuguese uniforms

(note: this isn´t a site promoted by me nor does it have any legal or comercial connections with me, the name is very common in Portugal)

Yup, and it will be up to the modders to give back the units in full glory, historically correct colors, the correct weapon and its characteristics varied around nations etc... Just like RTR did with the roman units.
