I honestly wish you the best of luck.
If I may ask, Morocco and Safavids don't fit in the map you have shown.

[Danylo]

Map is just to show a political situation. For example, here are two sneak peaks of campaign map test, that was made by Total FoTS team and they will share it with us. At the release map may be different, but it will be huge with North Africa and Middle East at least. More screenshots with mini-map are on Patreon page.

Oh, you got the map from the FotS!? Yes that is a huge map!

These are screenshots that main developer of Total FoTS sent me. He also sent actual file with campaign map, so soon here will exclusive screenshots from me.

Some new screenshots.
Imperial Pikemen


And early Dutch Musketeers


Both will be much more diverse after alpha release.

Early Dutch Carabiniers.

On the battlefield, carabineers acted as skirmishers, cuirassiers as the shock force, but if circumstances allowed then carabineers too would not hesitate to charge.
Carabineers had to have an open helmet, gorget, breast-and-back plates and a carbine; a pistol was added in 1602 (both types of firearms were wheellocks).


This trooper has an open burgonet helmet with hinged cheek-pieces, a gorget and a cuirass. Over his left shoulder he wears the typical crossbelt with a hook to hang his wheellock carbine, by means of a ring sliding along a metal rod on one side.

More screenshots and other units are on Patreon.

I've been waiting for a TW: Pike & Shot for so loooooong, it's my favourite historical period, so it would be really great if you could pull that off. I think Shogun 2 is a good choice and the screenshots look great already. I wish you much success and I am already looking forward!

[Anubis88]

Wow, huge scale planned, i hope you guys make it

[Danylo]

Late (1640s) Dutch Musketeers. According to contemporary pictures, musketeers massively started to wear cassocks, cravats and long coats, trousers became more tight. Finished version with more variety is on Patreon.

Great work so far. The units look excellent. Best of luck to you!

I love these pikemen and musketeers.

[Danylo]

Imperial dragoons, they will e improved in the future.

[Herr Doctor]

Looking beautiful. Personally I would shorten the period (to late 17th - early 18th century) and geography, but other than that looks very promising.

Some screenshots from tests.

I always pick Habsburgs in all European Total War games and mods where they are featured. There's something appealing in being almost landlocked (with an insignificant navy), surrounded with a load of enemies and forced to fight endless land battles. That and sentimental reasons of feeling a sort of historical collective memory connection to the Kingdom, later Empire, which was, on the other hand, corrupt, extremely conservative and backward looking, one of the staunchest opponents of progress. It was called "The Dungeon of the nations", also constrained in its usage of multinational manpower.

Pike and shot (16th & 17th century) era is my definitive favorite and mods with it give me the most pleasure.

Sorry for a big pause, here are some new units
Late Dutch Pikemen and Late Imperial Pikemen



New unit cards


More content is on Patreon. There is also a poll about next faction to make.
