[NW][M] War of 1812: [Downloads]

[Colonel Howe]

If you wanna pls as Haiti there's always the Anglo Zulu mod

I hope to god you are just terribly unfunny and have actually seen a world atlas.

I hope to god to can take out that stick that resides in your ass

I'll try, but it won't change that weird phase your going through that will embarass the hell out of you a few years from now in retrospect.

Jokes=phase?

Alright

Seriously man, this stuff is going to be on the internet forever. You will be in your twenties and cringe that all of this will still be on the internet. Have fun!

Nobody gives a shit about FSE Forums

^ this

If any employer of mine digs deep enough and finds the anal sausage I call my profile, my hat is off to them

And if I'm still not active on FSE in my 20s, I might as well kill myself

I know it might be still early to suggest such things, but since we're very close to release will you consider not only a 2nd update with a possibly community map pack, but also the inclusion of two new interesting factions to match the theme.

I'm talking about Mexico and Haiti now. That would be liquid awesome.

Community map pack? That would be great to implement. Got any suitable maps in mind?
New factions well, dev team meeting time..

Hit me up if you need image sources, I got some for you.

Thank you, I have to say though we have scenarios of battlefields in mind (listing of historical battles in the war). However, we do not have more sceners to fulfill these ideas for maps. Blitz_craig works hard on scening and it would be beneficial if another scener could help contribute maps for the mod. *Hint hint cough cough you know who you are* I can think of some people. 

Nevertheless image references would be handy for factions and/or maps.

As the person who is responsible for historical accuracy on this mod, I would have to say that your suggestion of adding Mexico and Haiti would be like adding Mexico and France to the North and South mod. This is a two faction war and neither of the factions you mention were at war with Britain or the United States from 1812-5. The only other possible historical faction for this mod would be the Red Stick Creeks and it would be difficult to fill out an entire faction with them alone. To include any other faction in this mod like the ones you are suggesting would change it's character to that of an alternative history mod. If someone would like to do a re-skin project to replace an existing faction or unit with ones like you describe above, we would encourage them to add variety to the mod in that way as it does not compromise historical accuracy for those players who wish to maintain it.

I suggested them on the basis that both nations were at war with nations involved in the Napoleonic Wars, and despite the conflicts being minor on the scale of things were still well in the scope of the backdrop.

But if you guys are happy with staying with just two factions go ahead. I just thought it would be an interesting idea.

Can't wait for the release.

Heh, the page is 69..

If there was ever to be a separate nation I'd say that it should be first nations. Of course due to the work involved I'm quite happy with 2.

Hey Blitz, can I get that source you have about the US Grenadiers (Or whatever unit) having Chevrons on their uniforms?

I learned about the double chevrons on the upper right sleeve being the designation for the grenadier company in the 21st Infantry from Osprey Men at Arms #345 "The United States Army 1812-15" in the description for the unform plate C3 on page 44. It says they also had red tipped pon-poms and wore their gaters over their trousers instead of underneath. The uniform plate in the book does not actually show the chevrons or say whether or not they were worn by nco's and officers as well. I just made a guess that they would probably be points up since that is the way they were in the 1820's when they introduced rank chevrons in the US Army for the first time. Also, I had to put them on both sleeves instead of just the right as that is the way the texture sheet is set up.

We put the First Nations into the British Faction because they often fought in direct support with them during many battles, for example at Queenston Heights and The Thames. Putting them into a separate faction would force you to exclude either the British or Native participation in those battles when playing on those maps. This is why we tucked them into the British faction as a specialist skirmisher unit. There were a few cases of some tribes fighting with the Americans, the Seneca were one. But most saw their interests aligning with the British since American westward expansion was seen as the more immediate threat.

I agree with you 100% I was completely speculating if there was a 3rd nation then that would personally in my opinion be the best candidate.

Also, feel free to use my Nassau Grenadiers skins for your "100 Day Campaign" re-skin project if you like. The link is below:

Luv u Blitz (I was planning on adding some Nassau units so this is perfect)

Meh, I don't think more factions will fit very well with this mod.
I mean people will just want to play this either to bash the English or to destroy the traitors also known as the Americans.
