    Hi guys! This is my first post on this forum which I have been following for many years now

    Just a quick question: Are pipers physically in the Scottish Regiments? I've heard the tunes are in, but that's like ETW mods, with piping music, not physically pipers themselves.

    I watched the '10min' video on Youtube talking about Marching Tunes and..balloons , and I've seen pctures of British units, for examples, with fifers, and fife music.

    Yes, I saw Kieran say that "oh you'll hear the pipers, don't worry..." statement, but hey, wasn't that the same with Empire, and 'false promises'?

    I'm a huge bagpipe enthusiast, I play the bagpipes (duh... ) and, seeing there's a handful of guys who have played the game, I was wondering if someone could give me a definitive response.

    Many thanks,

    Chunter

    It's not possible to make new models and items for ETW and NTW like it is in RTW, eh?...

    I think the man with the yellow plume is perhaps the musician, but even zooming, I am not sure he has bagpipe...

    CA seems to be going lazy on the marches. Instead of trying to find real fife masrches on the internet, they make fake, synthesized fife "tunes". I just see a Drum in the Highlander's ranks, too, albeit probalbly a magical drum that when banged sounds like a bagpipe, a synthisized bagpipe (Although Bagpipers take tours and CA should've attended, or taken a trip to Scotland which probalbly wouldn't be that hard.)

    Well I'm pretty sure the music is in. All the videos I have seen have shown this. Even the Ottaman Empire has own music in that latest video. Now the question is do you see bagpipers in the Army? No idea.

    As a Highlander at heart (God knows why we got it as a mascot out here on the west coast of the United States) I call for the bagpipes that ring from the foothills of Piedmont!

    Well guys, here's a question: Is it possible to make new MODELS, as opposed to only Textures in Empire?

    Because we could simply change the drum file to a bagpipe for the highlander and yay

    I think its a pop culture reference mor ethen a hatred of bagpipes. Cant remember what its a reference to though.
