The British have the green coats already. so he is in there "technically" but i don't think there is a mod about HIM yet.

I guess the "Expansion" for ETW will be "Napoleons Empire Total War" so that should include the "Peninsula War" + the "Napoleonic Wars (1799-1815). Only time will tell

My guess, too.

However, I hope we won't see Sharpe in the expansion, that'd be kind of ridiculous! (I mean a British uber-riflemen... not really good for gameplay I guess. )

they did use Sharpe and Hornblower for reference for military and navy combat.

:O I think it would be rather good actually

But that does't mean we should actually meet them on the battlefield.

While Sharpe might be a matter of fiction British uber Riflemen were real enough and should be a part of any Napoleonic combat, especially the Penninsular campaign.

Well if Sharpe and his men are to remain true to the series then they'd have to miraculously evade being shot by anything and have ALL french units, especially cavelry, simple run around in circles before routing at the mere sight of them...

Of course, never claimed they shouldn't! (I was only referring to Sharpe!)
Greenjackets are in the original ETW already, so I expect them to be in a Napoleon expansion, too!

Forget Richard Sharpe. I would be happier if they could make the Riflemen behave right. They really should use their superior range. It would be great if they would stay out of musket range automatically. Run, turn, fire, run. In pairs if possible.

PS: Should be possible though to alter the facial texture to make all officers look like Sean Bean.

already working on it

Just managed to put a seperate unit/model/texture in the game called "sharpe's rifles" as above, but now with it being seperate, I can make changes to the texture of it, without affecting the normal green jackets unit. Guide to create a "new" unit (as in a new model to be referanced unit tables) is in the modding workshop forum.

I was actually toying with removing the green jackets unit, and have a 1 recruitable unit for the 60th rifles (red collars) and a 1 recruitable unit for the 95th rifles and then having the sharpes rifles as a seperate but better version (with faces for sharpe, harper, harris and hagman).

Sounds like fun. But - once again - I would prefer a more intelligent skirmishing AI over textures. But this is much more harder to do I guess.

Looking forward to Sharpe and his comrades. Let us know what you come up with!
