Thread: Proper Militia Mod v1.3 - Now With Minutemen And Revamped Colors

    Minutemen

    Something like this? Expect an upload later today.





    The new model follows the color scheme of the vanilla minutemen - the breeches and stockings are taken directly from those textures, as with the regular militia. It turns out that the flag bearer is a seperate model; this guy still wears a bonnet but as said, a couple of bonnets were worn by these men historically. I think it adds flavor.

    The great thing, again, about ETW's animation system is that minutemen and regular militia move differently, although they share the same model (but not the same textures). Regular militia tend to slouch and move their muskets from position to position when standing, and hold them horizontally when marching. Minutemen are slightly more disciplined; they tend to shoulder their muskets and march with them held vertically.

    Version 1.2 released - with Minutemen

    I just published a new version that includes the US minutemen. See the two screenshots in the post above. Go to the first page of this thread to download. The unit cards remain the same as in vanilla, since they already show the tricorn hat(!).

    This pretty much completes this mod.

    All skins revamped - 1.3 update released

    Hi y'all,

    With the minutemen added, I decided to go over the skins one more time and apply some of the ideas I've been having about them. The result is that they now all have subtle variations in shade in their coats, as far as the fact that the sleeves have to remain the same shade will allow, and I made the British, Danish, Dutch, Swedish and Prussian skins look even more historical (having done a bit of additional research). See the first and second post for updated screenshots (and the download of course). Here are three of the shots for your perusal.

    After having initially given up on using varying shades of coat because of the technical limitations of these files (see discussion above), I was inspired by the United Provinces retexture pack: The light infantry in the pack have a varying shade of torso which, although sometimes standing out from the darker, constant shade sleeves, still looks believable on troops that are not expected to have the finest uniforms. The effect is fairly subtle and more easily discernible in game than in these screenshots, but believe me, the troops now look a lot more individual. Thanks to the UP guys for this idea, they really are masters of their craft.



    The British militia are now more closely based on what I've seen in a couple of Osprey books - this basic scheme was found in many North American colonies, with the red sometimes replaced with buff yellow. This is pretty much what e.g. the mid-century Virginia militia looked like.



    This scheme is based on a depiction of Danish militia around 1760.



    I had another look at the source used by the excellent United Provinces retexture pack and realized that the troops pictured there had light waistcoats. So I overhauled the whole skin, still keeping with the style used in the pack.

    I'm so glad I found this mod. The first jarring thing I noticed in Empire were the Minutemen wearing those Scottish hats. Thanks for making this mod, it looks great.
