Special units which we want to see!

[Salvo]

There'll be no granades.
Jakobh told why.
We are open for other proposals

[Vasa121]

Oh sorry, I was too enthusiastic to understand that was fact.

Pardon me...

[Chevalier IX]

This is new elite unit for Austria - Bike's Cuirassiers.




Clansman will be in mod:






Some colonial units maybe wiil be too.

the bikes cuirassiers would be a prelude to the great wars when they started using bicycle troops

[Gen.jamesWolfe]

And so the it WOULD BE FUN IF the musketeers could make a "musket wall" as defense against cavalry, especially the late ones, as pikemen were not used in, for example, the seven years war.

But that would just be a fun add in a later patch

well, I don't think you can port a missle shotting soldier with the phalanx...

but, you can make the formation go roughly shoulder to shoulder, making squares and even lines much stronger, and more realistic in shape.

and you're welcome. I withheld the release of this research ouside of N2TW fora so as to confirm the results.

[Vasa121]

The pikemen, are they supposed to fight with their hands? Do you think you can correct that?

As this thread is called "Special units which we want to see!", is it possible to make a Swedish Hakkapellitta(not shure about the spelling) unit?
If so, you almost already have the model, because the "Cuirassier" unit for Prussia and Austria is very look-a-like

By the way, I just can't wait for the bombardier and that late Cuirassier

[StalinCore]

I would like to see Pirates units

[Vasa121]

Sweden are lacking a variety of cavalry, and I found this nice uniform for Bohus Dragonskvadron(Bohus Squadron of Dragoos), the green-yellow one.
If possible(I mean, you guys must be drowning in work, not to mention your studies(I know the importance of education, especially in these times),
maybe you can add these units in a patch, if so I'm already longing for it

[Vasa121]

What about adding some new Units for sweden in patch?

I thought these regiments; Jönköping and Kalmar, would be nice(their uniforms are awesome!). If so, you only need to reskin the original Swedish musketeer,
and maybe add somewhat better morale and attack(otherwise they would just be "eye-candy", though that isn't wrong either).

[Vasa121]

Maybe Swedish 3- or 4-pounder cannon?

[Salvo]

Hmm. We would also add them to other factions than...

[Vasa121]

That'd be great

What do you think of the unit suggestion i posted(agree that the Bohus Dragoons looked silly to be Swedish)

[Salvo]

Yeah, I wouldn't think that these are Sweds

[Vasa121]

You said it!

Well, the swedish system was organized on the landscapes, and the landscapes colours. But after 1720 all of that was changed, and everyone got National colours.

I know...

I think that is rather sad

while they did indeed get liffana (Colonel Flag) in leu of preexisting kompanifana (Ordennance, or regiment-unique flag), the liffana was not exactly the swedish national colors (the yellow cross on blue). what they got instead was the royal emblem on a white background, with the 1st canton always adorned with the device that appeared in the middle of the kompanifana. you can see an reconstructed example here:

at the bottom of the page.

[Vasa121]

But thats not the same as a uniform

Though I agree that look-alike-uniforms made it easier to recognise friends on the battlefield.

[Vasa121]

I also have a question to modding team; Why does the Swedish early grenadier wear such an incorrect hat? It should be more like the late grenadier hat.

[jakobh94]

eh? Wasnt the Mithras hat always used?

[Vasa121]

The swedish early grenadiers have hats made completely out of cloth, without the brass plate on the front.
