CLOSED (FtG:AoW) Frederick the Great: Art of War

[Dee Jay]

Late it is

[L'aigle]

Good work for your new uniforms Dee Jay

[Marshall Soult]

I believe this is the first preview I am ever doing on this mod

It's a pretty small one, but I'm just showing that I am actually working on it now.

I have made the coats for all the Austrian Line units, and this is what they look like:

First are the Imperial German units

From the Capitol, Austria


Bohemia


Moravia


Tyrol


Now the national units of Italy and the Netherlands

Italy


Netherlands


And last, but not least, the National Hungarian units

Hungary


Croatia


Transylvania


As you can see, I am only showing the torso for now. There are a few things that I couldn't do, because of the mesh, like I didn't remove the collar and I didn't edit the cuffs of the Hungarian units.

I also want to create my own faces for the Hungarians, because they need there own.

I think I am proudest of the Hungarian Fusiliers

Tell me what you guys think

EDIT: I have changed the colours for the Italian and Tyrolean units a bit, there not so bright now

Wonderful units!!!

[Dee Jay]

I have revised the torso for all infantry, and reduced the contrast in the colours, so it's not so fluorescent and bright.

I have also added legs to all the troops

Tomorrow I will add the should pieces and then post some preview pics

[Marshall Soult]

But rather than having two green-faced units, you can set the "italian" green as yellow, the Modenese army (equipped with austrian styled uniform at that time) had a regiment with that facing colour afterall.

And yellow matches well on the austrian uniform!!!!

[Notker]

@Dee Jay, for me only for interest. Its not possible (or to difficult) to remove the 'stand-up' collars? If not, perhaps because the origin model is designed with?
Anyway they will look absolutely fine

[Dee Jay]

I tried removing the colour just by making that part of the texture transparent, but then there is a big gap between the mans neck and his shoulders. So it's just a problem we will have to deal with until we get a 3D artist on the team.

And thanks for the advice on the italian units, I will change their facing colour to yellow

I think everyone will be pleased on the next set of screenshots

BTW - Would people like to see white gaiters (summer & parade) or black gaiters (winter & campaign) for the troops?

I would say white, but that's my personal taste though
Great work btw on these lovely Austrians! I'm quite interested in Austria because I had to write a 6000 word essay on the implementation of Divine Right by the 18th century Habsburgs for my study (history ) So again great work and + rep if I can.

A little delay on the preview. I am finishing off the Hungarian officer's legs, and I have started on the Hungarian faces.

EDIT: And also, all the soldiers in the units will be wearing black gaiters, but the musicians will be wearing white ones

Prussia or Hannover: Prince Ferdinand of Brunswick!

[king of prussia]

Hmm that would be for hannover

[Notker]

Ferdinand of Brunswick was a prussian officer and after the battle of Roßbach he was exempted by Friedrich II. (after request of Kurhannover) to take command of the allied army in western german region. But he was still prussian officer. So in campaign he wears still his prussian uniform. After war he was again governor of Magdeburg but after some differences with FII he left Prussian service. From 1755 to 1766 he was chief of the Prussian Infanterieregiment No.5 (the prussian regiment numbers were first invented in 1806)

[Marshall Soult]

(the prussian regiment numbers were first invented in 1806)

Do you mean the progressive regimental numeration? I knew this was first introduced by Frederick II even if the regimental number was always coupled with the Chef (colonel's) name.
I know Austria adopted the numeration (coupled with the colonel's name) with the 1767 reform and Britain in 1768 (coupled with the geographical identity), while Russia, Spain, France and Sweden (along with all the minor states) sticked with the old system well into the XIX century (France adopted the numeration with the french revolution)
