New mod idea

[Hetman]

Greetings

I've just started to create 'XVI-XVII' centuries mod ( around 1480 - 1700). I have no experience in graphics, so for now I'm only preparing starpos, units descriptions, stats and so on.
I'm trying to make it work as soon as possible especially to test how every unit behaves on the battlefield.

Here You can see current units (all of them replace the original units)
ideas.

Factions - catholic - Poland ( Rzeczpospolita Obojga Narodów),
- Spain,
- France,
- Habsburg HRE,
- Italians ( divided into several smaller),
- Pope, ( non-playable)
- protestant ( instead of pagan) - England,
- Danes,
- Sweden,
- german protestants ( still I don't know how to call them),
- orthodox - Russia,
- muslims - Ottoman Turks,
- Mameluks ( probably non-playable)

Periods - two at least ( high to 1580, late to 1700),

Units - every one of them is in some way limited to certain provinces.

RZECZYPOSPOLITA ( Poland):

Hussars light cavalry( high) - valour bonus in Serbia,
Husaria medium/heavy cav ( late) val. in Poland,
Pancerni cavalry ( late) val. in Volhynia,
Polish Dragoons (late),
Nobles ( Szlachta) cav. - val. in Lithuania,
Lisowczyk mercenary cav. ( late),
Polish light cav.
Wybraniecka infantry ( late),
Danzig Urban Militia ( high) - Prussia,

+ common and regional units;

RUSSIA

Boyar cavalry - 3 types,
Strzelcy ( Streltzi) infantry - val. in Moscovia,
russian longspears ( pikemen),
russian peasant inf,

+ the same;

OTTOMANS

Sipahi of the Porte only in Constant. ( Stambul),
Ottoman Sipahi - medium/heavy cav. - val. Nicaea
Ottoman Cavalry - val. in Bulgaria and Rum
Akynji light cav.

Janissary Archers - ( high) - Georgia,
Janissary Inf. ( muskets) - ( late) Bulgaria,
Janissary hv inf - restricted in use, hard to build,
Ottoman pikemen - weak but cheap infantry,
2 types of peasant infantry ( axes or spears),

+ regional units;

MAMELUKS

Egyptian infantry ( weak, but cheap),
Mamluk cavalry - Egypt,
Mamluk Horse Archers - Sinai,
maml. handgunners,
Camels with jezzails;

HABSBURG HRE

Randashir infantry,

COMMON units
cavalry - Lancers, Gothic Knights, Raitars, Dragoons, Cuirassiers,

infantry - earlier Pikemen ( hv. armoured) - val. in Switzerland,
- modern Pikemen ( Spanish Tertios) - in Spain,
- Advanced Pikemen ( Swedish especially) - Sweden,
- Urban Militia - Mediolan,
- Polearm Militia - Tuscany,
- Pavasiers,
- Arquebus inf - Leon,
- Musketers inf - in France,
- Arbalesters with a Pavase, - Bohemia,

REGIONAL units - Tatar cav - val. in Crimea,
Cossack inf - val. in Kiev,
Cossack cav,
Italian Arbalesters - Venice,
Lancknecht mercenary inf. - Franconia,
Camel raiders,


For now that's all, but I'm planning to divide many units into national ones ( Swedish Pikemen, 'New Order Army' cav and so on).

Still as You can notice I need more information especially concerning the Western Europe.

I have also several ideas concerning buildings ( especially those granting income).

I'm aiming to make it for myself, for fun if anything else. Although I can join any team already creating something similar.
Working together toward the same goal is almost always easier.

This mod idea comes up almost every other day at the moment. There's several guys discussing a thirty year war mod, some talking about an English Civil War mod Others talking about this idea, and a few like me who want to concentrate on a Renaissance Pike and Shot mod perhaps ending after the English Civil war. Should be room for some callaboration and Maybe a new topic posted at the Alchemists. Renaissance. Warfare in The Age of reason
