Amazing units ! Are you guys going to implement those swedish and russian units in the new patch or release? Can't wait to try them out in the new campaign!

Swedish late Husars
Hello
First I'd like to say that this mod looks very nice, I only just discovered it and I will give it a shot shortly. Some questions, though: are there any new units for the Dutch Republic? As you can guess I am Dutch, so I am just wondering. I did not see any Dutch units while going through screenshots on MODDB. Also, about the French in this mod, do you get the 'Republican' units if you change to a republic during your campaign, or will you have to start a different campaign to get acces to Republican units, given that I have seen both Monarchist and Republican units.
Good luck with further development and I am sorry if I asked questions for which the answers can easily be found, but I am not used to this forum.
You can with no problem switch from monarchy to republic during the campaign when playing as France; the royalist units will automatically be replaced with the republican ones. We are currently working on the late campaign mod "IS: Rise of the republic" and only a minority of factions are done, the rest are a work in progress, including the Dutch republic (which will be changed to a constitutional monarchy). The developers team is small and is doing their best. You can check out our threads and see which factions are completed and which aren't.
One more question, if I install Rise of the Republic, do I need both the hotfix and the 1.1 patch, or is the data from the hotfix included in the patch?
Any news on IS 3.0 yet?
Sorry for the missing news the past weeks, we all have been busy.
But I can now present you the next Swedish cavalry unit, the Jämtlands hästjägarkompani. It's a light cavalry unit which can fight mounted with its sabers and dismounted with its carabines.

I am playing Imperial Splendour (latest version, not 3.0 tho) and while I find the overal gameplay enjoyable there are some pretty bad issues that I felt like you guys should know of (hopefully some are fixed in 3.0 but still)
1. Sieges appear to be broken. Sometimes I get a fortress, sometimes I don't, whether I have a fort built on the map or not seems irrelevant
2. When I do have a fort, the walls break after getting hit by a single artillery round, a bit odd and I lost lots of soldiers by having them on the walls and the walls exploding right away.
3. During one of my sieges my doors just exploded on all sides, without even getting hit?!?
4. Some Mughal units appear to be 'broken'. The Afghan Riflemen https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.n...1509ED9B7C35A/ and Camel riders were able to shoot at my men from extremely far, as you can see in the screenshot.
5. One issue I have in my British campaign (130+ turns roughly) is that when I end my turn, Poland takes forever to process the turn changes. Most factions don't take very long, but Poland actually took 4 minutes and 45 seconds (I timed it). This means that ending my turn makes me lose over 5 minutes. Due to buildings etc. being quite expensive and the building up you have to do, I feel like I am not able to do much in a turn, so I have to wait too long to do too little. This is also one of my main issues with the mod, although I am aware that you guys might not be directly responsible.
To add to point 5, Poland did conquer many regions and they are #1 on the prestige list. This probably explains the issue to an extend, but it is very annoying nevertheless.
I hope you guys have fixed or will fix some of these issues for 3.0. Like I said, I do enjoy the mod overall and the custom units are nice. I also like the new tech tree.
So you are playing 2.2.1b?
Point 1 and to 2, remove the no forts .pack. I hope this will solve the problem.
Point 3, I think this is related to an enemy rake inside your fort.
Point 4, yes this is possible, I'll look into this.
Point 5 this is a vanilla problem because Poland recruits too many units. This will be fixed with the new recruitment system.
Finally this is the last Swedish late cavalry unit! This unit helped Gustav III during his coup d'état in 1772.
The Lätta dragonkåren
Extremely impressive Swedish units! You really did some solid research there. The late Gustavian era is often underrated, but it's very cool to see it presented well.
BTW, how much does IS make use of scripting in general? Any plans of getting permission from VadAntS to use his excellent VDM mod?
Thanks
And no, apart from historical characters not. I'm no expert in scripting and neither is one in the current team. In addition I don't have the slightest idea how VDM works but we may ask for permission and try to implement it.
I would certainly love to see it coming into IS.
I must ask how balanced is the mod at the moment. The stats are quite different between the nations right now. Will this be adjusted or are the precent differences more or less like they will be in the final version?

I've only played the ancien regime version of the mod until now and thought that was great but I just installed and started playing Rise of the Republic and I just have to say great work! So far its really excellent and seems very well put together
