The Lords have started work on a Napoleonic mod
You can download 7 unit animations

It's 4.7megs.
Let me know what you think of the units
and if you would like to help, that would be nice.
Thank you

LK,
What exactly are you planning on in terms of how far your going with this mod. What do you need help with -
1) creating more units
2) prod11/build13/projstats
3) images/icons/buildings (tech tree stuff)
4) loc/eng file changes
5) startpos file changes
6) a new campaign map
7) researching the Nap era
There may be a relatively easy way to do 1) above - creating new units (with different colours for, say, trousers, stripes, epaulettes, plumes etc ) based on your original 7 bifs (same ideas I had with the Lords Romans).
Enough people understand enough of the 3 files in 2) - but it still means a lot of changes to prod11 (in fact almost a complete rewrite).
Major changes to 3) will be required for a Nap mod 'cos it means changing almost everything in MTW so you'll need a few people working on this alone. Still, these changes can be ongoing over time as per Patrician.
If you planning major changes as per 4), 5) and 6) then let me know. A lot of this should be relatively straightforward now.
7) should be straightforward enough. Just a case of changing the prod files really to present more firepower and less melee differences.
Let me know what your planning and I'll see if I can assist in some of the parts - other parts I'll be steering well clear of

Nothing
Good
Making the new units we can do at at a reasonable pace.
The icons and such are not an issue really.
That does not mean others are not welcome.
We don't want to monopolise we just want to make it work.
At present it's an open shop open ended project.
How far do we want to go?
A campaign from 1700 to 18 something
With the major powers at the time
France Britian_Hanover Austro_Hungarian
Prussian Russian Spanish Turks
you get the idea.
As we know they all loved each other
and like to visit regularly.
The projects you are working on will aid this project
no end.I'v already taken into account these factors.
4, 5, 6 and 7
are more the things we need help with
Your involvement would be more than welcome
to say the least.
Thanks
regards

Those are sweet pics.

My those are strange looking knights... with those sticks that make a flash, and knock a man down from across the field... sureley it is the Devil at work
Well, if it is.. being evil has never been so good
Many people prove that in their lifetime, they have learned much. It is unfortunate that all to often, stupidity was the teacher.
Wow
This has got to be the most promising mod I've ever seen for Medieval I always wanted someone to do this theme. Really looking forward to this one
Lord Krazy: When do you think it will be finished?
Also, what are you planning in the way of artillery? I would really like to see a galloper-gun (you know a horse-drawn light cannon which can move and deploy) and I think it would fit in with the time period, Is this possible?
Thanks for such great work LK
What do you mean Flash Gordon approaching?

err, im getting errors for all of the new inf, something to do with the actions in the texture folder...
All i did was back up all the folders which were involved and then extracted your mod...
help plz
edit: and I get an error message when it starts up that says something about the english light inf being invalid, they dont show up for selection either...
Repent For tomorrow you die -Battlecry of the Dark Angels
I screwed up the directories names maybe.
Add the file manualy for the moment.
I'll update it soon with a few more units
and sort out other problems such as this too.
The files work on my pc so it should just be a directory
problem.
That's what you get for being lazy
LK
This is what they look like.
just a thought but can we get some highland regiments?
i mean plenty scotts fought for old britania in their own regiments.
British Army: be the best
I see the problem I gave you the wrong prod11
just add an EnglishLightInfantry
copy the line from the arqubusier and just change the name
if this is too hard wait for the update
LK
OOOhhhhh cool 95th rifles there LK Lol, you could have a hero Richard Sharpe (anyone else read the Bernard Cornwell novels?)
And Knight Yellow has a point, there were a great many Scotish regiments, and a third of the British army at the time was actualy Irish
This looks fantastic, best and most promising Mod i have seen so far.
If you do some Imperial Guard Marmaluks I will love you for ever (well at least be happy for a while)

LK I am currently assisting Welly on a Holyland mod in conjunction with LMM devolopment, but if you need someone to work in Startpos/Names etc. I am your man after all you need someone to change the stuff in the "curly brackets" LOL
Taking life one day at a time!
Well done you see your not that lazy after all.Quote[/b] (Dramicus @ Mar. 10 2003,16:59)]Found it

Like dancing cannons
LK

I know of the these Irish regiments
Name followed by regiment number
Royal Irish 18
Inniskilling 27
Royal County Down 86
The Prince of Wale's Own Irish 87
The Connaught Rangers 88
The Prince of Wale's Tipperary 99
His royal bla bla bla The County of Dublin 100
The Duke of Yorks Irish regiment 101
That's 8 out of 104 I know of
Which is less than 10%
This is what I know it does not mean I'm right.
Just wondering what you base your ratio on?
LK
well i got bored and changed all the european battle music to fit the Napoleonic era.. bagpipes piping, whistles blowing, drumms rolling... the whole lot. If you want it its only a small 7MB so ill see where i can dump it for download

ohh, now your asking for it...Quote[/b] (Lord Krazy @ Mar. 10 2003,21:20)]Your very demanding for a lazy person

The ratio came from the Osprey book on wellingtons infantry i think. It doesn;t just refer to the actual Irish regiments, but also the fact that a good deal of English and Scotish regiments also had irish soldiers in their ranks. Wide spread poverty in Ireland at the time forced many young men into the army of their 'hated' oppressors.....Quote[/b] (Lord Krazy @ Mar. 10 2003,23:07)]I know of the these Irish regiments

Correct, but let's not forget the cavalry -
- 4th (Royal Irish) Dragoon Guards
- 6th (Inniskilling) Dragoons
- 18th King's Irish Hussars
BD,
Whilst there is no doubt that the numbers of Irish and Scottish soldiers (and perhaps also Welsh) who served in the British Army during the Napolionic wars was a far greater per-quota ratio for their nationalities ...
... the proportion of Irishmen in the British Army has NEVER approached a figure of 33% - or anything near.
If you consider the populations of England/Wales, Ireland and Scotland during this period you'll arrive at a ratio of roughly 80:10:10 for the nationalities mentioned above.
There is no doubt that both the Irish and Scottish contributed far greater numbers per head of population. I would suggest (very roughly speaking) an average of around -
- 15% for Irish recruits
- approaching 20% for Scottish recruits
- the remaining 85% being English or Welsh
Very commendable considering the times, but nowhere near approaching 33%
In deference to the quality of the Irish and Scottish recruits who fought in Wellingtons armies (that is - THE Wellington - not me!
