The Century of War (Serverfiles are available)

[KArantukki]

Well, after the first release we will work on a Dutch nation, and after this we will see, i think of nations like Poland, France or Protestant Union.

[Friedrich]

But as it was said, first we focus on the current factions Habsburg and Sweden, scening and modelling to have a playable game. When we have achieved that, we talk about other nations. And as Feldsau mentioned, to keep a game balanced when you have on one side only slow firearms and on the other side primarily bows, is with the Warband engine a really expenditure. :/

[Wigster600]

English Civil war units perhaps? 

[Archduke Sven]

I have a small complaint, since it seems you have finalised the roster, you have kinda forgotten the Swedish regiments.

As you probably know, the Blue and Yellow brigades were a majority German, with only 2 or 3 companies being completly Swedish.  Along with the fact that the two other regiments aren't swedish either (Scots and Germans) and the only real Swedish unit on the Swedish roster is the Smålands cavalry.

Could you maybe have one of the true Swedish regiments in there? Like the Dalregementet which was in the Oxienstierna Brigad.

To be honest, we didn't know that the blue or yellow brigades were in majority german. But if you send us pictures and sources, we can make of course some ethnic pure swedish infantry unit, if it would make the swedish patriots happy!

Here is an example of what they were supposed to look like, but as you know the Swedish army didn't have any official uniformity in colours during the 30 years war. The Dalregements colours were blue and yellow, somewhat the same with the Sodermansland regement, pictured above.

Y U NO BIGGER IMAGES?

No nation in that period had standarized uniforms or armour. But fashion was not everywere in europe the same. That we count.

One polandball to explain it all:

Sorry for this, we will seach for another swedish regiment wich can be added ^^

[Archduke Sven]

Yeah, can't deny we used plenty of mercenaries/other ethnicities (silly finns), but 40% of the army was Swedish

[Feldsau]

Do you have any source for that? Because I don´t really believe that. Imo Gustav Adolf launched his operation in Germany with swedish regiments but soon replaced them with mercaneries from all Europe.

Especially if you count the Finns/Baltics as Swedes.

[EdwardC]

To be fair, we will focus on western europe. The eastern theatre is allready playable for Warband with a DLC and a mod!

May you be shanked by a Winged Hussar my good man.

Especially if you count the Finns/Baltics as Swedes.

According to the order of the battle of Breitenfeld there are only around 20% ethnic swedish companies, or 28% with baltics and finnish included.

[AlekoTheGreek]

A really interesting era, best of luck lads!

Well 40% of the total Swedish army, including the garrison troops stationed in Sweden, Finland and the Baltics. The order of battle might have been a bad example of that.

[Friedrich]

But imo it is stupid to count finnish and baltic troops as swedish. Would be funny to count czech as germans too, just because they were part of Habsburg. So a ratio of 20% swedish soldiers should represent it well enough.
