Constructed nationalism aside, our armies didnt turn tail and run, in fact in Cer and Kolubara we inflicted heavy casualties on the Austro-Hungarian armies. The army was already badly mauled from 3 years of fighting, plus the Bulgarian exit to the war that created a 500.000 men large threat on the southern borders, which combined with the heavy bulk of the Austrian armies broke down our already outnumbered army, forcing us in a retreat through rough mountains, only for our French and Greek allies to bring us to Salonica, so that we can continue fighting the enemy. And the fez isnt even turkish, it's moroccan headwear, and has nothing to do with religion, christians wear it as well. Enjoy.

another thing is when the Germans or Russians invade Poland they should be able to recruit polish conscripts, not sure if that's on the roster or not.

I think you should put the "Arditi" in italian army. They were a special force, armed with dagger and hand grenades. Arditi fought in a lot of battle, expecially in the battle of river Piave, ( when they crossed the river attacking austrian defences.

Hemingway wrote about them and fought with them.

Their motto was "O la vittoria, o tutti accoppati" meaning "We either win, or we all die".

Other informations.

In the last pic, they carry their typical dagger between the tooth.

The Arditi are actually in the mod, he just forgot to add them in the preview.

[Romanheart]

Ok, great

[PunitorMaximus]

except there were any differences between the regular stormtroopers uniforms and the arditi ones.
im waiting for a dagger-musket reload anim, then im gonna activate them ingame

russia got the polish dragoons(see preview) and the polish legion(which wore the regular uniforms so they´re no extra unit)
the austrians had a polish legion too, see preview!
germany would include them in their conscript troops(see preview) or later on in their helmet-armoured regulars(=> preview)

[ComnenusTheOne]

Whats a dagger-musket reload anim?

[PunitorMaximus]

when firing: rifle reload anim = like the one already in the mod.
in close combat: using dagger like sabre = waving about with knife
meanwhile there´s only a musket-sabre anim in which the soldier reloads like he had a musket.

Something I read was that India supported Britain in the war by suppliing troops, maybe you could incorporate that?

[rip090]

at the time the germans came to conquer Romania, almost 1/10 of the roumanian armie was made from units of mountaineers.
They were pretty much untrained militias, but they knew the mountain like the back of theyr hand
So they were masters of ambushes.
In terms of uniform, they usually were wearing pesant clothes (like these).
and they were active all the way to the end of the war, but they never left roumanian soil.

[ComnenusTheOne]

Thats not even a military unit, these are peasants with firearms.... so how exactly their existance as a unit is justified?

India was British soil at that time, it's incorporated by... well, being part of the British Empire in the game, and having a buckload of units to recruit there.

[TheSwordofRome]

Ya, thats what I meant XD. You should be able to recruit special units there

youre right
it's not, but it was a SUGESTION!

why do you think the germans managed to counquer the place only after they bombarded almost every major city!?


Ahhhh.....
youre right,
I only care cuz im roumanian....

[PunitorMaximus]

sooo they made 10% of the romanian army?
and they wore peasant/civilian clothes?
seems like i gotta include them
i found some pics of "mountain troops" that wore the pre 1914-reform unifrom. like the early vanatori in my preview ya no.
the description said that they wore the old uniforms of their sevice in former times. is this true?
if yes i´ll add a peasant volunteer unit. tell ma if i should retexture them!
btw: the vanatori are the regular mountain troops afak.
