Development preview of Prussia

[Steph]

To help differentiate the line foot artillery units, I've played with shako (oil or not) and belt (rollew blanket)

12lb foot artillery


6lb foot artillery


Howizter


Horse artillery have a different shako and coat


And the guard artillery has a different coat and shako, and plumes.

[Steph]

Only a small update today since I'm tired and have to go to bed early.

The Sappers.

[Steph]

Untis recruitable in Prussian initial region if captured by a foreign power.

I have mostly changed the coat to a dark blueish grey.

Absolutely fantastic - shame to have go to war with such good looking troops!

Apologies but correction required to shako information: Line jager should be number 5 not 8. Will correct in earlier post.

[Steph]

On mainy reference pictures, the Prussian dragoons have a large bicorne, and worn tilted to the bottom and the right.

I hope I manage to catch it correctly.

Looks like you have a case of too big too small
a midpoint between the two would be best

Not very easy since there is one pixel difference on the texture. Can I make it a half pixel?

Hi, i just wanted to mention that i have seen quite a few pictures of officers and marshals wearing their bi-corne tilted like the dragoons. I am really sorry that i cannot provide pictures because i honestly don't remember the names of the paintings, but the majority of them were French or Russian. I can do some scavenging to see if i can find some proper sources or pictures, anyways its just a suggestion.


Meh, i could only find it for Austrians and Russians ( French marshals too ), not Prussians. It still looks pretty cool though, but this mod seems to be mostly oriented towards historical accuracy. Anyhow, it is hard to believe that the Prussian officers would not copy what was fashionable ( Some atleast ).

I think the bicornes could be smaller, if they're too big it'll just look silly.

See images from Kling - which give a good scaling of the actual bicorn... they were large!!!!! The reference pictures used by Steph capture them well too

[Steph]

Dragoon with officer and trumpeter. I reduced a little the size of the bicorn, and I have added the small piece of white cloth on the neck, although it's not really visible. I will add it to infantry as well.

It looks quite good to me (tilted bicornes)... an impressive an realistic military fashion detail! I must add that the buttonholes are also superb. I prefer your last version (third) of the buttons (just my taste). Regards.

wow now i love prussia

Horse artillery



And towarczys. For once, CA hat was good

I know the cuff is not perfect, I used the same coat as the dragoon to get the straight lapels, and mostly added a better belt.

Took me ages to do, but I like the results.
