    Default Latest News (27/07/2017) - bottom of thread

    ( 18/07/2015); Next release will include (sometime maybe end up next week but don't quote me on that yet) will be:

    - replaced missing icons/info pics
    - backpacks removed at least for European infantry
    - some late Spanish units can use flintlocks (based on new info on the Catalan miquelets).
    - possible coloured units for the Spanish.
    - updated names/descriptions
    - the Royalist flag will be used for late French custom battles. This is already in my work in progress see below (thats the Surbeck regiment by the way which is already in the mod);
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    - A couple of new units including very late English horse grenadiers wearing mitre caps.
    - Possible changes to some Spanish textures based on new data from new team member.
    - Possible new Russian gentleman model.
    - Some late English units converted from flintlock to matchlock.
    - mid-century Spanish arquebusier infantry unit.
    - Possibly new Brandenburg-Prussian grenadier unit.

    I'm also cautiously looking at an optional extra to remove DLC units.

    - loading screens
    - new Russian/Polish/Hanoverian/Saxon/Bavarian/Spanish /unitsmodels, and correct period replacement models where required. Spain will have its own lightened cuirassier model on research of "miliary syllabus" reflecting the 1630 reform.

    - Scotland
    - Duchy of Lorraine
    - Brandenburg and Prussia to be separate factions

    He has a modding website here by the way.

    Next release will have new models including some late generals recruitable in custom battles and late buildings. Some pikemen will have painted pikes where applicable (as in Solms regiment below). Cossack Hetmanate will be an emergent faction with units from the Hetmanate TW mod. Credits to the HTW team.

    I am working with Golfthai from moddb.com on additional event images. Also some of the Gustavus Reforms will be included in the gameplay. Swedish soldiers in the 30 yrs war received stakes called "swinefeathers" as standard issue, in part because Sweden had a pike-shortage in the early 1600s which hurt them against Polish lancers in the Livonian War.

    Also pistol cavalry will be able to fire while moving during a cavalry charge.

    Apologies for delays. I was more or less ready to upload a few days ago when I encountered a bug I wasnt able to fix. Thankfully I had made backups to resume from so its just a matter of putting the files back in from scratch. I hope it will be ready this week. Also I was in hospital recently as I was briefly unable to walk (trapped nerve) so I wasn't able to work on the mod. But expect the mod in a couple of days.

    For the forthcoming release, subject to the limitations of the game engine, I have tried to take account of military tactics as they evolved in the 17th century.

    - Generic "cavalry" regiments (except harquebusiers/carabiniers, lancers and bow cavalry) will have pistols (early matchlocks, late cavalry with flintlocks) which they can also fire during a cavalry charge. This is to emulate Gustavan tactics of firing during the charge (as opposed to the caracole where you cantered forward, stopped, fired, and then retreated for the next line to do the same).

    - Swedish infantry will start with the "deploy stake" function. This also reflects Gustavan tactics of using stakes known as "Swinefeathers" (at first due to a Swedish shortage of pikes). Some German factions such as Saxony and Austria will also have this function for line infantry recruited at later buildings.

    - Late Swedish infantry will not have the bayonet (except for grenadiers).

    - Austria will not have flintlock infantry except grenadiers. This reflects a literary source that the introduction of the flintlock was extremely slow in this faction, and that they entered the WSS with mostly matchlock muskets. However late cavalry will have flintlocks. Other factions will have a mix of late matchlocks and late flintlocks. Late Austrian dragoons will be mix of armoured and unarmoured (based on sources) but generic cavalry will have armour.

    - Some new units including Balkan stradiot mercenaries, Spanish royal halberdiers, some Saxon units (Goldstein, Schlieben, Schlestein regts), Catalan revolt units, couple of English units like Horseguard Grenadiers .

    - Poland and France will have buffcoated cavalry recruitable about halfway through the tech-research tree. I'm linking late units to late technology, mid century to mid-technology etc.

    - More factions enabled for custom battles. For "Late" battles the artillery gunners will use different models.

    - Some late general models.

    - Icon/Info pictures fixes.

    - Saxony and Wurttemberg will be Protestant as historically.

    Thanks Tombergr. I am rigorously testing to eliminate crashes as far as humanly possible.
