Let's discuss...UNIFORMS!!!

[nodey]

Fashion is apparently very important.

I'm more concerned about wether or not the ai will have 20+ stacks of 1 units each running around eachother while i ravage their lands.

But good luck with that.

[Trax]

I agree 100%.

And please CA, no universal faction colours that cover EVERYTHING that belongs to a faction, like in RTW and M2TW where every unit in a faction had the same hideous colour (Parthia in RTW anyone?)

If I see a pink grenadier somewhere in the game I'm going to explode.

Several Prussian regiments had pink facings, as did two Austrian regiments and one or two French Regiments.

And thats fine, because its historically part of their uniform.

But the point is that a faction's units shouldnt all be of the same bright and dominating colour, but rather have uniforms that they did historically.

[Darsh]

I hope CA listen us...
I understand for Rome we had a part of fantasy (even if this part was a bit too big) but for the 18th century wars and the Napoleonic wars we must have the true uniforms of the time periode.

[Sidus Preclarum]

Come on, be serious, it's CA we're talking about: the only legit question indeed is : which faction will end up wearing full pink uniforms :p

[Darsh]

I will kill us if they put a pink uniform to the Imperial Guard.

[Azog 150]

I think they should at least get the uniforms right as we are not going to have the same diversity of uniforms within a unit as we did in Medieval, except from different faces ect.

[italiano]

I'll find it funny if there is a fluro pink faction, watch people complain only for the community to release a perfect skin to replace it. Frankly I would prefer CA to focus more on the mechanics than worrying about perfect skins for 50+ factions.

[Knasp]

Only if they allow modding to some extent. Then there will be alot of people reskinning the units to their liking. However that's not an excuse for CA to release an unfinished game.

[PooFoo]

I care about the gameplay. I could care less if the continental army is wearing hot pink.

[Darsh]

Remember Rome TW it was catastrophic, and the AI (again), the community have done CA's job and I don't caution it.
And if we say at CA don't worry about uniforms (historical aspect) isn't important, work only on the AI, in the next total war the community should make the graphical engine...
For me it's a HISTORICAL game and the HISTORICAL aspect is also important than the AI, the community should be here to add some news campaigns, news factions, news maps and some minor corrections etc. and not doing that CA doesn't like.

There is already a Uniform Thread. In the future, please use the search feature.

I would bet that the new movement system or at least new "rules" for the AI will prevent this from happening.

As far as uniforms go, in a way I'd prefer it if they were a little shoddy and unrealistic. It would mean that CA have been more of their time elsewhere!!!

[Samuel Adams]

I was hoping they'd go for this era! I hope the uniforms are plausible, as others have mentioned, and I am hoping the Naval battles are spectacular.

It will be interesting to see how the Uniforming is pulled off. Since coloring specific to faction has been a big deal in the past, especially, and this time frame will deal massively with armies made up of awesome, spectacularly colored uniforms.

[Hohenstaufen]

I was thinking...when the game comes out....we should INSTANTLY (lolx10)organise a skin-uniform mod team......
I think we should be orginising ourselves from now



eeeeehhhhhh??????
