Just thought of some fun little ones to add a little humor to the game, make it slightly less serious at points and I'm pretty sure they won't be too hard to make.

1) Bowing, this could be used as etiquette to signify a duel (Like up blocking in MM/NW)
2) Charge motion, kind of like having your back arm swing forwards to signify a charge
3) An animation for opening doors, so they don't look like they open magically
4) Taking hat off and scratching the head, that could be tied to an button to show you are going afk or something

Just some fun little ones that may or may not be worth using :P

1. Hmm I don't think japanese people were in the American Civil war, but we have some difirent duel animations, both cowboy stile as british officer style.
2. Got it.
3. Ofcource we made one.
4. Yep, we have that one already made, though probably will be included as a auto-anim whilst idling.

for the swimming animations you could just plank
Of course, I also think lines should be able to move in double rank without having emotional breakdowns.

Sounds awesome!

Guess we can expect these to be much better than M&B?

Yes we did do all kinds of saluting/presenting/stand in attention animations.

I do hope so, much more natural animations is what we are aiming for.

Are you using a proper firing stance? And are you recording a real musket firing to capture the effects on the body?

-proper marshing: just that the rifle is hold fixed

-sneaking: maybe just for light infantry
-sitting/resting, jubilate, waving someone to you,
 or charge gesticulate

This is great work right here!

Will we have new animations for almost every movement right? Like running, dying, crouching etc?

We use period drill manuals for such things., the one in the screenshot is actually very incorrect, but we quickly fooled around to make a screenshot.
We can hardly fire live ammunition in our home but were good reenactors.

- We have different marching animations added.
- Indeed we have movement whilst crouching.
- We have all kinds of resting sitting positions, even campfire stuff :), Charging and other waves have been made.

All new from scratch.

"Vince getting kicked in the balls" and upload that shiz to youtube. I'd wait through 50 adverts to see that.
