... failed miserably.
Dissapointed by the lack of gunpowder infantry for the Scots, I decided to solve the problem myself and give them one. My first simple attempt was to make musketeers available to the Scots and, despite the fact that their musketeers were completely white cause I didn't want to srew around with textures just yet, it worked.
Now, there was a problem with this. I looked at the model and said to myself "No good highlander would be caught dead in that fancy little outfit the musketeers wear." So I figured, what would be better to add to the game then a guy in a kilt holding a musket.
Essentially, my attempt was to make a hybrid with the Cossak Musketeers (yeah I'm rediculously unbalancing the Scots here, but I only do singleplayer anyway so it doesn't matter) and the Nobel Highland Archers. I esentailly tried to make the Cossaks into Nobel Highland Archers with guns and change the secondary weapon from a sword to an axe.
Long story short, I somehow managed to bring the game to its knees and was given no other foreseeable option but to re-install. I did manage to rescue my save games, however.
