National Revolutions 1821-1848

[Sotericus]

Until now I've added the flags Husserl made for the mod. I've added some pictures for the Moldavian faction too on the first page. I will need some suggestions of units for the Filiki Eteria (as it is) as well as some ideas about which abilities the Ieros Lochos should have - as you cannot recruit it in the game it should have something to distinguish it. I plan to start working on Carbonaria soon, so some insights on it will be appreciated. Cheers.

[Wallachian]

Oh man i love that Eteria unit, looks so much like the real thing. Great work with the limited resources from NTW! Looking forward to see the Carbonaria!

[Sotericus]

I'm really glad you like it, Wallachian.

I will post this week end some other Moldavian units. I've already made Naples playable. But we need to decide whether Carboneria will be a faction in its own right, or only an army in Naples. Or something else ... like, say, reward units for a Naples mission. I will need some in-depth insights on the historical situation of the Carbonari revolution (or uprising ?!). And, of course any info of the Neapolitan army in late 18th - early 19th century will be highly appreciated - some pics with info, especially.

Last, but not least, I'm working on a Tudor din Vladimiri unit as a historical general. I've already made it available in the battles, but I have some problems in making him recruitable in the campaign. I'll keep you up-to-date on that one, too.

We could make different armed-citizenry units for Moldavia and Wallachia - as say -regular armed-citizenry (mob) and elite (which will be spawned only in big cities). If you have some ideas on this one too, it will be nice.

Cheers,

[Wallachian]

Hmm i would not suggest the Carbonari as a separate faction, just as i wouldn't suggest the Eteria as a separate faction. For Carbonari maybe you can set a mission, for example the Naples faction starts as an absolute monarchy so you will need to start a revolution to change the government type to either constitutional monarchy or republic. When the revolution starts the Carbonari army spawns. If this is possible. I can't remember if in the game you could chose which faction to support.

[Sotericus]

Nice pics, Wallachian, we really needed this, indeed. You can't choose what faction to support, but you can basically generate a mission which will spawn a number pf units if, say, you declare war on Austria. About the picture with the Sicilian Cavalry - am I wrong or the dragoon on right actually holds a musket with a bayonnet in his hand? Awkward.

[Wallachian]

thanks. unfortunately i could not find any pics exactly from 1821 so not sure if the uniforms would have looked the same or not. about the dragoon, yes you are right it does look like he has a bayonet, strange.

[Sotericus]

Hi, this is to let you know that after hours of struggle I've managed to make Tudor a historical character able to be recruited. You'll see the results on the frontpage. I am also working on missions for Moldavia.

Polish uprising 1830

-banner of Congress Poland

And army:









And as in previous post- scythemen

[Wallachian]

Very nice pictures +rep. To my shame I had forgotten there was a Polish revolt in 1830. Hopefully we will see some nice Polish units in the mod!

[Sir.Cojocarius]

Sotericus Very nice going on this mod. A great idea, +rep to you!
Can't wait to play it!

[Sotericus]

Thanks a lot guys, +rep DarthKael. I haven't forgotten the Polish revolution. I'm not sure we are going to have a Polish playable faction for the first release, but we will definitely have a Polish Uprising mission - in fact HusserlTW just made one for our mod - Liberate Poland. In this mission you will get as a reward some unique Polish units. We could then go either for a second release dedicated to the 1830s uprisings and revolutions - Belgium, France and Poland, or for a separate campaign in the first release - which will postpone a bit our work - but it will worth the try - I guess. In any ways, I'll need your support for the Polish regiment names and some insights on the leaders - as except the picturesque figure of General Bem I am completely unaware of their traits. Meanwhile I hope finishing the Moldavian faction and missions. I will definitely need the help of Italian speaking fellow for the Neapolitan regiments.

Cheers,

S.

[RO Citizen]

Perfect Fliki Eteria unit! You could add just some Scared Bands of that type and the rest would be haiducs and voluntari.

[DarthKael]

Polish Army during uprising:
1) Proffesional Army of Congress Kingdom of Poland- it was army with many officers as soldiers from Napoleonic warfare:

and that is 42 cannons

what is interesting: Polish army had rocket artillery (Russian didn't).

We could then go either for a second release dedicated to the 1830s uprisings and revolutions - Belgium, France and Poland, or for a separate campaign in the first release - which will postpone a bit our work - but it will worth the try - I guess. In any ways, I'll need your support for the Polish regiment names and some insights on the leaders - as except the picturesque figure of General Bem I am completely unaware of their traits. Meanwhile I hope finishing the Moldavian faction and missions.

Your idea with a release for early 1830s revolutions is great. In addition to the better known revolutions in Belgium, France and Poland we have a fresh one in Naples. As such, we could make a series of campaigns depicting the age of revolutions in Europe.

I will definitely need the help of Italian speaking fellow for the Neapolitan regiments.

In regard to Kingdom of Two Sicilies (Regno delle Due Sicilie) I manged to gather some information, partially in English, partially in Italian (which isn't really a problem due to similarities between Romanian and Italian)

Hope it helps. Nonetheless, I'll continue looking for informations

[Sotericus]

@DarthKael: Perfect work - it is what we needed, indeed. Could you add some infos on some important generals?

@mircea: great job, too. I'll start working as soon as I'll finish the missions. I'll try to get some help, as we are in desperate need for modders. Maybe vadik will be available.

Cheers, all and thanks for your contributions - they are indeed very helpful. Just hope to make use of them asap.

[DarthKael]

This week I have very important exams but as I can't even sleep at night then maybe I'll find some time to do it.

[Wallachian]

Here's some pics I found for the French army





1830 Chasseurs d'Afrique


1830 Chasseurs d'Orleans during the Colonisation War in Algeria, 1830-1847


And a nice picture for the Belgian revolution

[Wallachian]

Also, besides these unifroms I found a few more great photos of the Romanian army and would like to suggest an additional unit: marine infantry.

Here is a photo of the marines in 1850 from the Bieltz-Danielis album made in 1852. The photo shows in order a "praporsic" (lieutenant), a "feldwebel" (sergeant) and a marine soldier


In 1870 new unifroms were adopted as follows
