    Icon3 {RESOURCES} Historical characters

    Hi all

    For ease of modding can our historical researchers and contributors post their finds & pics in this thread plz?

    We need- historical characters of the revolution - generals & admirals of the French, Austrian, Prussian, Spanish, Russian, British forces etc deemed crucial to the gameplay experience.

    The pics can be coloured paintings or b&w engravings.

    Thanks folks

    Thanks folks for all y'all feedbacks. If ROW team manage to procure a startpos modder then I'll continue with the ROW portraits (which I really want to carry on doing). EmperorBatman is coordinating a team so far....

    I can work on the startpos, but I'm currently finishing off building a computer. I can't work on the mod until I finish the computer. Just to let you know. Plus i think Icebear is working on it!

    We've lost contact with Ice Bear. I have no idea what he's doing or where he's at.
