Historically Accurate German faction flags and uniforms

[smatussek1]

I have become uniform skinner for Regalia of Nations. Please check it out!

Update: v.1.1 (24/04/09)

FIX: Sorry about the bavarian grenadiers, I forgot to add to the mod, that I switched bavaria to the "austria_group", because I felt the units were more suitable. So now bavaria has grenadiers with bearskin hats (so the uniform below will apply).The download at the bottom will have this included.(25/04/09)

New Bavarian flag: (turns out the flag in the game was correct but not the actual state flag. Thanks to major_payne for making me aware of this.)

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Since Bavaria became an elector state in 1623, this became their flag and remained so until 1805 when it became a kingdom.

Its the closest I could make it.

Saxony:
Kürassier-Regiment Kurfürst (Cuirassier-Regiment of the Elector)
(this uniform is actually from 1785, not from the 7 years war period)

-----------------------------------Regiment of Horse-----------------------------------------------
I added this unit to the Westphalian unit roster, just for this.

Westphalia:
Kurpfälzisches Reiter-Regiment Prinz Friedrich Michael von Zweibrücken (Electoral Palatinate Horse-Regiment of Prince Frederik Micheal of Zweibrücken)

------------------------------------------Guards---------------------------------------------------
This is a correction of a mistake I made regarding the saxony line infantry. The uniform I gave them was actually that of a guard regiment, hence "Garde" which means guards in german.
so

Saxony:
Regiment 1. Garde (1st Regiment of Guards)
source:http://www.grosser-generalstab.de/sturm/img/stm1_134.jpg

------------------------------------------Line Infantry---------------------------------------------
heres the updated uniform.

Saxony:
Infanterie-Regiment von Friesen (Infantry-Regiment of Frisia)

I have also fixed the jacketfolds on the hannoverian line-infantry, because they looked slightly odd, and also edited some of the normal maps on some of the units where it was annoying.
Also I would like to know about the moustaches I gave some of the units. Im just not sure about them. Should I keep them?
Also any other recommendations would be helpful.

Installation: dowload the german_factions_patch.pack file into the "Steam\steamapps\common\empire total war\data" folder. Run the game as you normally would and the changes should be there. It should work with any mod that does not have a retexture of any flag retextures.

version 1.0
Eventhough the flags in the game are historically correct, they are flags from after or during the Napoleonic occupation of Germany. Since the the campaign only goes up to 1799, I decided to redo the flags and the uniforms to make them correct for the Seven Years War period (mid-18th century)
here's what I have done sofar:

Westphalian and Württemberg flags:

Württemberg: http://www.worldstatesmen.org/de_wurcent.gif

Prussia and Saxony:

Saxony: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Fl...ral_Saxony.svg
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electorate_of_Saxony

The Hannoverian, Bavarian and Austrian Flags are already correct for that time period.

Uniforms:
so far I have only done the line infantry for each. I am planning on redoing the grenadiers, cuirassiers, hussars and mabye the artillery, generals, officers and drummers.

Bavaria:
Infaterie Regiment Minucci (Infantry Regiment Minucci)

For Württemberg units I recommend Nimrod's Württemberg retexture: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=240611

For Prussian units I recommend either Magnus72's realistic Prussian uniforms: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=239263
or
Megasalexandros's Prussian Mod:

[major_payne]

hi

thanks for the mod!!

[HGuderian]

Beatifull skins...but not downloadable.

May you upload them to another link?
Thanks and regards

[Bocah_Bali]

Smatussek, I reccomend you use megaupload. I got "no free download slots available on this server".
Also check your PM inbox

[PubliusKhannus]

absolutely great work man, love the SYW time frame.

[Arctander]

Can someone who's got these reupp them to somewhere like sharebee.com (which rehosts them at 4 other servers) so we can download them? They look great, but I can't get them to d/l - it always says "maximum spots filled"

[Leif der Wikinger]

Really great ! But "no free download slots available on this server" here too. Please change it.

[SR-71]

Congratulations for your great work!!

Unfortunately the downloading site is a real scum... The same message again...

Please don't trust Filefactory anymore

I´ll wait anxiously for you to change it so we can download. Excellent textures. Thanx

[Arctander]

I finally got in and the d/l got cut off. I got only 3MB and when it started it said it was 88MB.

Im really sorry about this. Im gonna try and upload it to megaupload, apparently this seems like the best place to upload files.
Also Ive changed the colors of the uniforms slightly because i realised they were slightly off. For example the bavarian uniforms were a bit too dark, and the westphalian way to light, also the hannoverian pants are still too light yellow, not beigish like in the picture. So that will have been updated.

[PubliusKhannus]

i sent you a pm regarding your great work smatussek

[SR-71]

Downloading and working fine

Thanx

To play Bavaria in Custom Battle, you need to install Julius Isidrus' mod "Custom Battle - All Faction Unlocker". Don't know where Hessen is.
