More early French pikemen. While grey was the most common colour for 30yw French infantry, blue/red was also worne.

Early French flintlock musketeer. France was possibly the first power to use them in large numbers, but their effectiveness in the 30YW was limited by the French drill of 10 ranks deep.

They look pretty dandy, somewhat eastern European too. Didn't know flintlocks were used at all in the thirty years war.

It's nice to see that the backpacks are removed, really glad to see that. Crossing my fingers you'll hold to your promise and remove them altogether from units.

I've made this new Dutch officer model from 1600, based on an image from the Vinhuizen collection.

Beatifull units, I like specially the Brussels civic guard, the French pikemen and the Dutch ones. I have the impression that the formation should be tighter, what do you think? or is it reserved for the special formation? I think a screenshot in pike formation would be cool.

Greetings Geronimo very amazing units! I don't want to seem annoying but will next release come out before the years end, it will it be next year??

[Geronimo2006]

Spanish heavy harquebusiers. Historically Spanish harquebusiers were 50:50 armoured/unarmoured. These ones wore a helmet called a burgonet.

Having had conversations with someone who specialises in the Thirty Years War, they said that formations were very loose compared to later 18th-19th century standards. There's the risk of musketeers setting themselves and the men nearby on fire if they aren't careful and the pikes needed space so the musketeers could retreat behind them in a pike and shot formation. Total War makes making a decision on the whole thing difficult, since I imagine you'd want your pikemen to be closer together if they were on their own and not under artillery fire. I suppose this spacing out makes them more resistant to artilleryfire, which gives the AI a much needed advantage, but also weakens them against cavalry, which really shouldn't be charging pikemen in this period.

Will these units be on ships too? Mixed with the normal marines??

[Geronimo2006]

Nope but maybe recruitable globally. You cant implement pike fighting on ships as far as I know.

Meaning that it was never been tried? Because for Spain and Portugal they carried many pike infantry of course their pikes were shorter.
