Thank you Carricanta. BTW the Danish militia will have more Nordic facial features because most of the regular Danish army before 1772 was in fact German mercenaries but the militia was largely Danish. In 1778 Denmark moved away from foreign mercenaries towards a conscript Danish peasant army and by 1788 it was probably majority-Danish so very late units might also have Nordic features.

About grenadier caps

This is an answer to Geronimo

I like so much Denmark and his people, i fell in love with this great nation in my honeymoon.
Thanks a lot for this precious gift

* when i take millions of euros in the lotto, i´ll buy a house in København

[Geronimo2006]

Thanks Carricanta. Looking forward to the ebook you mentioned. To represent the tendency of officers in the early 18th century to wear long wigs, I am also considering using the default CA "general" models as officers. It seems from the sources that both long and short wigs were worne by the Danish officers. It now appears from Carricanta's sources that the grey uniforms were largely replaced with red ones in 1710. That will be reflected in the mod. It's also very interesting to read that the Danes reintroduced the pike in 1714 after abolishing it in 1687, and that the pikes were apparently red with a pennant in the regiment's colours.

[carricanta]

You are welcome, sir. I like so much support your projects.

[Geronimo2006]

I'm also going to include Danish regiments hired out to other powers during the WSS for recruitment for factions such as Austria and the United Provinces.

I've also just managed to create my first ever model in Milkshape3D to make an old-style grenadier with a floppy mitre cap. I made it by merging the head and hat of the euro_musician1 model with the body of Danova's foot_guard model in his Poltava mod. I will try to use this to put the early grenadiers in Carricanta's sources into this mod:

I want early officers to wear big wigs, and the nearest I can get to that at the moment is to use the default ETW bigwigged general model as an infantry officer. Credits to Danova for his superb Poltava Russian general textures for providing the brown wig. According to my research the Danes only used the white-wig for officers from 1728, and used other coloured wigs before then, including brown. I am using this model in part because of this picture of the a funeral of a senior Danish officer in 1703, which shows Danish officers wearing sashes over their shoulder rather than across their waist:

NB: "National" regiments were Dano-Norwegian militia. The regular army was mostly German mercenaries until at least 1772. The combined Dano-Norwegian composition of the navy was just 46% in the early 18th century (31% was Dutch and the rest German). In 1778 more Danes started to be recruited and by 1788 the majority of the regular army was Danish. Also, under the 1711 uniform regulations, all infantry and cavalry wore white, grey or black gaiters over their stockings, and all "cavalry" regiments wore a black cuirass, so that will be reflected in the final mod.

Regarding the brown rather than white wig: powdered hair was not introduced for Denmark officers until 1723 and wigs at this time seem to have been various colours. See picture below:

I'll release the default version first and then I'll look into making a DMUC version but I have no objection to someone over at DMUC integrating this mod into DMUC like they are doing with my Portuguese mod.

I've largely completed most of the units for V 1. and am now working on the officers, building-queues (so that later units are only recruitable later), Prestige Buildings and text-descriptions.

[Rayne_Delancey]

These skins are great!. will this mod end up like Sons of Danneborg with the pretiege buildings aswell as the units?.
more importantly, when are you looking at releasing the mod?
Rep+

[Geronimo2006]

Thanks Rayne. Yes I will include the "Sons of the Dannebrog" Prestige buildings. Erasmus has given me permission to include work from his mod in mine. As for a release-date I would say probably sometime in the next week or two because I want each unit to have an officer and I want to arrange the recruitment buildings and technology-required tables so that only early units are recruitable in early buildings/technologies and only late units (including later uniforms for the same regiment when they changed historically - usually from white to red from 1711) are recruitable later. I also have to thank Carricanta who has provided me with tonnes of research on Danish uniforms in 1699-1720 and yesterday sent me loads of information on Danish marines (unfortunately in Danish so I will have to translate it but it seems I can't select the text so it will take a while), without whom this mod would not be possible.

Update: Carricanta has sent me a link to 30 new Danish uniforms from 1767. Because I want to include them the release will be delayed.

Wurtemberg Cuirassier officer (1716). It seems Danish cavalry officers sometimes wore the cuirass under their coat and I decided to reflect that here:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

An important goal of this mod will be historicity. Carricanta has sent me the uniform plans for 1711-16 and they will be reflected insofar as possible in the release. Denmark will be able to recruit one cuirassier regiment at the start of the game because - while theoretically all cavalry regiments were to wear a breatplate/cuirass - in practice only the 1st Jyske Cavalry Regiment did so. It wasn't until 1708 that all cavalry regiments wore breatplates and they continued to wear them under the 1711 and 1716 regulations. I've also changed the facing colour of the Prince George Regiment to Orange following new information from Carricanta's sources:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

I also want to thank wangrin for helping me create a model for a more accurate early infantry officer. At this time the sources indicate officers tended to wear large wigs with a sash usually worne on the outside of their coats but otherwise they wore largely the same uniforms as their men. See below for progress:

What I need now is to make a base-texture (I normally use other textures as base-textures then edit them but this time I'll have to create one from scratch. When everything's ready I intend using this new model in the Portuguese Unit Pack too.
