Thanks Guys the "Grosse Uniformkunde" seems to bee a very useful source, do you have it?
And the other pages was good too, compagnie-d-elite.de had good charts, a little small though, can they be bought.
It didn't work out the way I wanted, you see, the Swedish shako introduced in 1816 is said to be inspired by the Russian and Prussian shakoes, but it doesn't look like the prussian one got anything to do with it though.
It looks like I have to work on Prussian units now http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/biggrin.gif
Btw:
Swedish shako m/1916:

Swedish Husar-cap, late 18th- early 19th Century:
http://m1.457.telia.com/~u45703849/bilder/Husar.jpg
Yeah, yeah I know the dildo thingy ontop of the husarcap looks like shit, but I don't have Shag: Fur so that's the best I can do.
Non of them are finished yet.
lol, the dildo thingy... http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/joker.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/joker.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/joker.gif
it looks great, but the dildo thingy is sooo funny because of how you describe it. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/joker.gif

I'd just like to say that the reason I haven't been in contact is because I recently got a new comp and still haven't organized anything.
No probs Efrem you have not missed much.
You'll have some stuff comming you way soon .
LK http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ons/smokin.gif
Great thanks. I plan to instal 1.1 soon.
It has been awhile since my last update,The campaign is progressing nicely, new portraits, buildings,game pieces (which look great by the way) are being added, I have to say this is a total conversion, everything that can be changed will and is being changed. For those who were interested in The Square formation I have been tinkering with it in my spare time http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/biggrin.gif , I have been able to achieve various results by experimenting with values in the unit prod file, The infantry that used to break and run in the face of a Cav charge, which to me renders a formation like the square useless, they will now attack them outright after the inital attack they will attempt to reform, which they do throughout the course of the battle, they will reform around the generals unit, so it kind of plays out like this attack,break away, reform. So while this is progress it is not the effect we want. I will keep trying until I get the units to Hold The Line LOS

It's not like I did all this by myself . http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/eek.gif
The last few bits and peices are being added
to the campaign now . All the mtw units have been removed from the unit prod and the buildings we will not be using.
We are adding graphics for info_pics and events at present
when that is done and the names have been sorted properly
we will be looking at releasing it.
LOS will let you know when the time comes .
It won't be too long now .
LK http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ons/smokin.gif

The ones that have six frame are doubled up.
So for the six frame walk and run to get the timming right,
just double them up so frame 1 will be frame 1 and 2
and so on. It get's a bit more complicated for the shoot
but first things first.
I'll mail you with more details in a a few days .
Thanks

Here is an idea of what the campmap units will look like.
LK http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ons/smokin.gif
WOW they look amazing
Greetings all http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wave.gif It seems a problem exists with the CannonBatt unit regarding firing.
LK has made a fix for this by correcting some data in Projectile Stats here is the link.
for the fix CannonBatt Fix LOS
Who is responsible for the unit graphics? I've seen some 3D models and items scattered all around and I was wondering wether the person responsible for this artwork is interested working together with me. The detail on the Napoleonic soldier I saw earlier is very impressive, and if he/I can convert that to a LightWave file than I will be able to get unitgraphics similar to the Middle Earth ones.
I've got the process semi-automated, so if someone can provide a model I will have a test BIF very soon.
And since the soldiers don't use different weapons or shields I can stuck the rifle on the model and that will avoid having to write all the weapon coordinates.
Just let me you if you're interested
Cheers, Duke John
ps Those Strategic pieces look very nice, kudos to the maker
I've made some work in 3d, the hats earlier in this post for example. I also did a 18th Century soldier a while back, and I'm working on a napoleonic-period soldier at the moment. I'm not very fast, so you'll have to be patient. But I would appreciate your help very much (I hate animation).Quote:

Cheers, Duke John
Well ive looked at about 50% of these pages and i havent found a list of the Factions that will be included (its 22 pages long so have a heart and dont tell me its been said before http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/smile.gif ) so im gonna post the factions as they were in the Napoleonic era and then show a map of europe that shows their locations and size :
In no particular Order (i have the uniforms of all these countries excpet Germany which im looking for)
Britian
France
Spain
Portugal
Switzerland
Confederation of the Rhine (later the Germanic States)
Prussia
Sweeden
Duchy of Warsaw
Austria
Russian Empire
Ottoman Empire
Sweeden
Denmark
Norway
The Kingdom Of Italy
The Kingdom Of Naples (im not sure if this was the name they went under)
heres the picture (it shows the states as they were at the opening of the napoleonic wars ie who was allied with france and who was against and who was neutral)
http://www.dodstudios.net/uploads/uploads/nepMap2.jpg
Cheers for the Info Sir Moody, but we prety much have start positions and factions already covered/
I am sure you will be happy with the final release, we have some very knowledgable guys who have sorted all this out so that it is as acurate as we can make it with the map available.
What you could realy help us on though is the Ottoman army and it's uniforms. Do you have any info on them at all?
Welcome to the Nap mod, we are always glad to have fresh blood http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wave.gif
Greetings Sir Moody, The factions being prepared for the Mod are as follows(some are still being developed for later inclusion) and are subject to change. This will give you and idea.
English
French
Russian
Piemontese
Danish
Prussian
Austro Hungarian
Spanish
Ottoman
Swedes
Polish
Note* If you could reduce the size of that map a bit it is on the large side and slows the load time of the page for us 56k guys. Thanks LOS http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wave.gif
well what i do know about the ottomons isnt much but ill tell u what i know
They used a "halfbreed" army - As a muslim state they held traditions very high and as such didnt addopt the more modern army techniques of the europeans. Their Infantry was Primarily Swordsmen with Muskets used as Archers would be used in the Medieval period. They were VERY fond of big guns tho and used a verity of heavy artillery in much greater numbers than their european counterparts.
If u give me a little time ill find u some images of their Soldiers
(and ill reduce the map size :P)
Images would be fantastic if you could get them, they are what we are sorley missing.Quote:

ok ive done a lot of looking and have come up with 4 pictures tho one i have to scan so i wont post it till later (it is very much like another anyway)
Ok the First is a painting from 1820's showing 4 janissary infantry recruits - notice the Red jacket on the one on the right
http://www.dodstudios.net/uploads/uploads/Turj2.jpg
Ok heres the second its a painting of the same era again of 2 janissary infantry guarding a Commander - This seems from all historical accounts of the jannisary infantry to be the uniform they used - as for other foot troops i cannot find anything even descriptions until 1850 onwards
http://www.dodstudios.net/uploads/uploads/Turk3.jpg
ok this pic is as the title says a book cover of a book that covers the Russian Turkey war - the soldier on the right is a turkish infantry man and my last pic i havent scaned in yet is of a turkish artillery officer in the same uniform. All descriptions ive found refer to the Turks having fought in this uniform as a whole sorry ill keep looking but thats the best i can come up with
http://www.dodstudios.net/uploads/uploads/Turkone.jpg
Sorry guys, didn't know we still lacked info on the Ottoman States.
Troop Types for the Napoleonic Wars
Suvarileri Cavalry / Mamluk cav (similar and both poor)
Sipahis Cavalry (as much use as a chocolate watch strap)
Djellis/Yoruk/Arab/Bedouin worse than the above
Solaks (sultan's guard) Not bad about Euro reserve line qualitiy
Janissary Inf Line and Light (landwher,militia qualitiy)
Nazam-i-Jedid Infantry (These guuys look as good as Line inf!http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wink.gif
Sekhan Provincial Inf (militia again)
Martolo (Derbent) Inf (Poor Line)
Fellahin Inf (my dead Granny could take on some 1000)
On the lists I have it suggested that although they had lots of big guns, they were very old and poorly crewed. Note that most of the guns were for seiges only and no use on the battlefield.
Information taken from 'Napoleon's Battles' wargames rules, the stats for these are very good, while I've never played the Ottomans the other nations behave as they should.
The Osprey Men at Arms book for the Ottoman Armies prior to the copy shown above is the one we need. Mate of mine has a copy. I'll try to get in touch and get some images, I've see it before and it's got all we need enc poor Order of Battles.
Hope this helps in some small way,
Kind Regards,
De Moray
