    Default Scotland

    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


    Covenant Musketeers


    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.


    earlier period, but the ones above are better I think



    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.

    Just reskinned some pike militia to make them look like Covenant Pikemen:



    I'm gonna try some other stuff too
    Brave Sir Robin ran away.
    Bravely ran away, away!
    When danger reared its ugly head,
    He bravely turned his tail and fled.
    Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about
    And gallantly he chickened out.
    Bravely taking to his feet
    He beat a very brave retreat,
    Bravest of the brave, Sir Robin!

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