I´m starting to feel bad about my comments on your fantastic work. It´s not my intention to diss you... but here it goes;

The Swedish pikeneers and grenadiers never fought as independent unit as depicted. They were integrated into the infantry battallions. The pikeneers made up the center third of the battallions, and the grenadiers made up the extreme end of the wings - 24 men to each. On very rare occasions the 48 grenadiers of each battallion were compiled as temporary shock-troops against especially tough field fortifications.

Also, the standard depth of the 600 man strong battallion was four ranks. But this of course varies during the game, i suppose.

Maybee its not possible to organize mixed battallions in the mod? if so, its more historically correct not to have grenadieers and pikeneers at all.

The Drabant Corps was a combined bodyguard / officers school / officers pool of a two-company squadron. The minimum rank of its members were lieutanents and it should be a one-only unit. I was almost always commanded by the king himself. Standard cavalry formation was the plow-formation, with the riders riding knee behind knee, to make the formation more compact and tougher than the opposing cavalries linear formations,

They were real, allright, and they kicked Swedish behinds royally on several occasions. Unfortunately, during the GNW the military science had passed them by. In several carolean diaries its written how beautiful the Polish Crown army looked at the battle of Klissow 1702 in their polished, gilded and silvered armor, wings, silk and lace, and how sorry the Swedish soldiers was to have to shoot at such a pretty display. The standards of beauty were different in the baroque era, and flamboyancy was not nessecarily a bad thing.
