The shade of blue (Prussian blue ) looks about right and yellow was a facing color for some Prussian regiments. See the uniform link posted by another member = IR von Knobloch is an example.

What was frightening was that the original Prussian color -for clarity's sake* - was black. Thank goodness cooler heads prevailed.


* ...or so we were told. This was another result of CA's penchant for almost always choosing gameplay over history. As if historical accuracy doesn't have gameplay value itself.

Ah. I went and looked it up and, although I thought they were originally black, it appears they went in for a navy blue (with white trim) in the Napoleonic era. That would just be for the infantry, of course. I dont even like to think of how people dressed their cavalry in this era. Some of their uniforms were really quite tasteless

Did anyone notice that below Stockholm there was a little icon with people, and it had a '1.8 M' beside it. Is empire going to have realisic population amounts now? Is this new or am I just out of sync? And on the map, is the little blob to the far left Iceland? It's the same color as Norway, so thats what I thought.

You are a little out of sync, but not by much. Yes the game uses realistic poplations now.

And yes that is Iceland, in the game and belonging to Norway.
