Regarding Naming Issues
You will notice that I assigned no special regiment names to the various musketeer and grenadier units. They will only be distinguished through their unit colors, based on real historical regiment colors. Had I restricted these units’ numbers historically, and given them their proper regimental designations, the player would only be able to build one army. Given the fact that the player will ultimately conquer provinces, however, I had to eliminate such a restriction. Hence, the player may extrapolate for himself what the Saxon Army might have looked like had Saxony actually become a superpower, by constructing his own regiments based on historical color schemes. Below you will find a naming guide:
Green: Prinz Friedrich August; von Low Red: Churfürst; Sänger Light Blue: Prinz Xaver; von Bevilaqua Dark Blue: Prinz Anton; Prinz Clemens Yellow: Prinz Maximilian; von Thümmel Pink: von Rechten; von Niesemeuschel
There rest you will just have to make up as you go along.

Special Thanks
My sincere gratitude goes to Darth and the whole Darthmod team. I would also like to extend special thanks to Steph, who helped me whenever I got stuck.
Limitations of this Mod
Sadly, it is impossible to be completely historically accurate. Some things just simply were not moddable to the degree I would have liked, mainly due to game limitations, others due to my own limitations. Thus, I often had "to make do" with the resources I had available. I hope this will not detract from enjoying this mod, however.
Source Material
The source material for the unit design came from this website: http://www.napoleon-online.de/html/hess_sachsen.html
I used some of their images for my unit info cards. If the authors find this to violate any copyrights, please contact me, and I shall remove them.
