I've made this minimod yesterday and want it release as fast as I can. I must made it from new, cause in my mod the units are a little bit different, but can't added them, cause without the other units they are not balanced. Today I try to find the time to fix things like text and availibility in campaign.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks to all people, who helped and inspired me. I can't call them all, cause the list would be to long, so here some of them:

KnightErrant, Lt Chambers, Ardiel, Pom, Danova, Nimrod_1971, Jarnomiedema, Sir Digby Chicken Caesar, Gary, Preussen Gloria and all who found out how to change things.

Nice mod pal!

[♔hammeredalways♔]

three very nice units + rep

[ACMilan88]

Hi! Nice to see that you decieded to release some of you awsome units. Hope you release more in the future. +rep!

[joedreck]

Thanks to all, who download my units . I hope all of you like them.

Thanks. At next I will release 3 austrian or saxon units. But at first I will try to make 4 saxon officers today. I have simply not enough time to make them faster.

joedreck - Great mod +Rep mate!!
Three problems that I have found and here are the fixes:

1. Line Infantry card appears "green" in game! - Solution change the icon path to "euro_line_infantry_RUS" cause at present it has the wrong entry
2. Unit names dont show in game! - Solution add these three entries to latest UPC file or send them to Swiss Halberdier:

units_on_screen_name_euro_line_infantry_RUS Linja Infanterijska False
units_on_screen_name_euro_line_grenadiers_RUS Grenadiers False
units_on_screen_name_euro_line_grenadiers_RUS_GUARD Guards False

3. I have enclosed the text file with the missing unit names for your mod, just replace this one with current version (attached to post)

I would also like permission to use these units in my TAR 2.0 release please?

Yeah well, time is a luxury Btw, are your units compatiable with the spontoon-mod?

[♔Pom♔]

Hi joedreck, great work, owe you another +Rep, you should be shouting about the fact you've got buttons one side and buttonholes the other, this looks great and really opens up the skins.
Now to get you to tell me how you did it

[titanvoyager]

wow man! love these new models! please release more

[joedreck]

New pictures from the bavarian I've made tonight. The first one is a POM's overworked and the other are new. Maybe for next release .

P.S. I've changed the bags to red as described in kronoskaf.

From left: Preysing, Kurprinz, Minucci, Herzog Clemenz.

[TheGeat]

Wow! this look fantastic! Love what you have done with the bavarian grenadiers and thair beard, no more pirategrenadiers + rep

780 views, but 64 downloads in one week. What wrong with the new models and skins? I don't think it's the installation, it's so easy. Don't you like the units? It's for free and I don't know any other mod with similar. Maybe one of the 120 people can write something about his reasons not to download the mod.

I actually like these units mate! well done
I also commented on your thread on some problems with your units that you never acknowledged me on and i took the time to resolve for you??, so it is unfair to dismiss others when you do not answer others (see post 6)? I am not looking for confrontation and merely making an observation.

I also hear your frustrations with members as i too launched my own mod on NTW and apart from the loyal members who follow my mod I must admit that I wish "retarded noobs" would stick to other games instead of trying to install ETW and NTW mods!!

I'm sorry I'm a little bit slow with answers. I'm read them, but click here and click there and forgot to answer . Thanks for resolve. I wanted to release the mod fast and must made them from new for the
3 units, so don't have time for tests.

Sure, you can use them in your mod.

Thanks for download my mod. No, the units are at moment not avaiable in GC, because I don't has the time to add this, but the next mod will add the units. I'm work on it.

My mod remove the vanilla bagpacks, so it could be a conflict with one of your other mods. I don't know much about, but try put my mod in first line or last line. Maybe it helps or try to delete with pack file manager the equipment file.
