Scotland

[cegorach]

The official thread will be used to add more information about the faction.


For now you can post anything you find useful including ideas for faction specific buildings, events, advisors etc MILITARY UNITS EXCLUDED - that is well researched and only later we will possibly need more details.

Scottish unit roster is pretty simple and based on infantry.
Scotland had constantly troubles in rising sizable cavalry units which was somehow solved by equipping their light horsemen with lances and disbanding arquebuser/cuirassier units they tried to create earlier.

We also have the famous Clansmen who will be present in the mod as well.


So here it goes.


Scottish Pikemen
- armoured, but often in grey, cheap uniforms

Scottish Musketeers

---- both will be given a little different uniforms I will decide later
Veteran Musketeers



Covenant Pikemen
-cheap, grey unifrms, helmets or more often just the famous blue bonnets

Firelocks
- most advanced, but rare Scottish infantry armed with modern flintlock muskets

Scottish Halbardiers
-were used against Higland rebels, extremely useful in stopping 'highland charge' - as below


Scottish Lighthorse
-pretty weak mounted arquebusiers/light cuirassiers

Scottish Lancers
- the best Scottish cavalry, dangerous to other cavalry,

Moss Troopers
-brigands on horses. Often hid pistols in the long, cavalry boots.

Clansmen:

Highland Clansmen

Highland Piekemen
-poorer looking pikemen with no armour, but stubborn and fearsome when led properly

Redshanks
- bare-footed and armed with bows, but stillquite dangerous when charging or as light missile infantry

12 units + officers and various mercenaries.


In addition Border Reivers shared with the English and easy access to Irish toops.

[Icefrisco]

how come there are so many gunpowder units for scotland if until 1746 the major weapon was the sword?

[Antagonist]

Nice work on the reskin, looks really good. :book:

In the Highlands maybe, but the Royal Scottish armies and the Covenanters?
