    Good info Ranika. I checked and you are right there were many spanish military leaders with surnames such as O´Donell and O´Riordan. Most of the fonts are of a later period (XVIII-XIX cent). I guess in the Early modern age the Iquisition was too powerful to allow many of these men to get positions of power.

    In the earlier periods, there were fewer Irish leaders, because much of Ireland was still indepedent, so they didn't need to flee to Spain or France yet. Instead, they'd flee to neighboring lands in Ireland, with their forces, and launch counterstrikes. The wars between the English and Irish lasted for centuries (which is another reason just being a rebel province would kind of annoy me, since they would fall too quickly).

    Edit;
    Well, "indepedent". It was technically a British protectorate, it would not be a British property until the act of union. It did not give Britain soldiers (except as mercenaries) until the act of union, and broke this protectorate status multiple times. Only east and south Ulster, Meath, and the north of Leinster in Ireland were actually under direct British rule.

    I edited the unit list post. I have also chosen the factions which should be present in the mod.
    I am really disappointed that only so few factions can be used.
    I hope that future MTW 2 will allow more.
    Anyway, lets do it really good, quality should be our primary concern.

    @Names

    I do not really care they can be called 'Vybranniye', both units.
    Actually the same way it was done in MTW P&M TW also here it is your choice how the units should be called like.

    @ Streletskiye Kopeyshchiki

    These were the pikemen used to cover Streltsi from cavalry.


    New units for Cossacks and Hungary soon, other factions will get something after this.
    Thanks to efforts of many supporters of the P&M TW, especially AlexPeters, Swordmaster and Dead Moroz I have really HUGE resources to choose new units from.


    regards Cegorach/Hetman
