NTW special Units

**Augment** · November 01, 2009, 05:43 PM

Hey, Which units would you like to see in Napoleon Total War.
I for one would like to see the Irish Legion (or Legion Irlandaise).

It was an regiment composed of Irishmen.
Napoleon formed the regiment to support an invasion of Ireland and win the support of the Irish populace.

After the defeat at Trafalgar, Napoleon abandoned the plans for an invasion of Ireland.
The Irish Legion served with distinction in the Peninsular War and the Walcheren Expedition.
It was the only foreign regiment in Napoleons grand army that recieved an Eagle.

Also there's obvious units that should be in the game like the young, middle and old guards.

they're not going to bother with putting in special fan requested units. it looks close enough to the fusiliers. that's probably what they expect us to do, to retexture a unit and put it in the game.

At least they are making it easier for us by adding a uniform editor

I would just like to see more unique textures to every unit, not like in ETW...

Regimental colours would be a step forward and losing your Eagle would damage morale.

Special units in NTW it could be nice idea.
Napoleon used so many foreign troops e.g.
* many Italian battalions as like Tirailleurs du Po, Legion du Midi
* four Swiss Infantry Regiments
* four Polish Vistula Legion Infantry Regiments
* six Polish Infantry Regiments (4th, 7th, 9th, 5th, 10th, 11th) Duchy of Warsaw on French payment
* four Croate Provisore Infantry Regiments
* four Etrangers infantry regiments (de la Tour d'Auvergne, d/Isembourg, Legion Irlandese, de Prusse)
* Legion Hanovrienne
* Legion Portuguese
* two Polish Vistula Uhlans Regiments
* two Polish Cheavleger-Lancer Regiments (Old Imperial Guard)
* one Dutch Cheavleger-Lancer Regiment (Imperial Guard)
* Mamlukes Cavalry Squadron (Imperial Guard)
and few other.

I think these mentionet above units should be in NTW.
They fougth in many battles at that priod and many of them were famous.

+Rep, Good list and it would be truly immersive if they added them all.

It's likely that they'll do that. But I wonder if CA/SEGA is going to consider charging money for a 'Elite Units of the Napoleonic Era' DLC pack.

Thanks.
I think that these units should be implemented in NTW, at last few of them had near the same uniforms. CA can use another colors there and as we all know they can do this work.

But seriously, they can put these units in the game, at last few small nations will have their representations there. More interesting will be if they include also few small vassal or minor states and few their units e.g.
Kingdom of Italy
Kingdom of Naples
Rhine Conferedartion (Baden, Bavaria, Berg&Kleve, Hessen, Frankfourt, Saxony, Westphalia, Wurttemberg etc.)
Duchy of Warsaw
Kingdom of Holland
Kingdom of Danemark and Norway
Kingdom of Sweden and Finland
Switzerland
Portugal
Hanover
Ionnian Islands

Spain and Ottoman Empire will be fine too.

They can be as nonplayable in the beginning, only supporting states which will can give some units for great powers e.g. France, Britain.

If they stretch out the European map, they those factions/vassals should definatly be there or can be formed when you take over a certain area.
You could give civil controll to that vassal while you hold the military controll.

**RO Citizen** · November 02, 2009, 12:03 PM

I think certain factions should have the ability to hire some mercenary regiments only after they conquer/make protectorate one of the regiment's native regions (ex: France can only train Uhlans if they conquer Warsaw/Cracow/Lwow/etc.)

**Augment** · November 03, 2009, 08:09 AM

Napoleon should have the option to sleep with the polish princess (or whatever she was)

**Prince of Judah** · November 03, 2009, 08:55 AM

NONE. I want ALL units INCLUDED.

That sounds like a good idea. It reminds me a bit of RTW where you could capture a First Cohort's eagle, and that this would then show up in the general's character traits as 'Eagle Taker' - with the benefits that would entail.
