Thread: Dragoons?

  1. #1

    Default Dragoons?

    I think the modding community is doing a huge job. Lots of units look now realistic and add a new flavor to a game that has a great potential. I was glancing through the reskin projects and realized that the dragoons are the only troops that weren't really improved. Yes, a few minor touches, but they are still a far cry from 18th century mounted infantry. Those caskets are simply ridiculous, since they should be wearing tricorns. I read in some older posts turning caskets in tricorn was no easy job. Any news since then? I am really looking forward to new skins and for those who like the dragoons I would expect the Savoyen Rgt. (Austria) to come out soon. Thanks a million and carry on your great work.

    I'm working on a mod that includes the guys in the thumbnails. There are some other surprises as well.

    I've tried to improve the look of the British Light Dragoons by making them into the '17th Lt Dragoon Rg' (Death Or Glory)

    Same model I'm afraid but it's the right one for this regiment. (See link in sig')

    So far as I know, the modification of models is fairly straightforward. I'm not sure about putting a Line troop onto a horse. I don't know for certain what would occur there (animations-wise), but it's certainly easy enough to swap out one horseman model for another.

    I think Dragoons did eventually start wearing the helmet things, did they not? Possibly that would only be subsequent to the British reforms from the middle of the Century.

    Yes, you can put line infantry or any other model on horses.
