Not sure if this will become popular because Century of War has been already made and its not currently too popular.
Your best shot is probably to focus the development on Commander Battle, where you need only a vew players to create an enjoyable gameplay experience. While though I hope the best for your mod. I just doubt there will be a solid playerbase to populate battle mode servers etc. As Century of War seem to have proven. Yeah, sure that was about the Thirty years war and this is the English Civil war. But it pretty much looks the same, which the point would be.I dont want to much focus on CMB, but they can be interesting.In some things you are right. Anyway thanks for your support :) .
Eitherway, goodluck. You've got some good resources at your disposal. Make good use of them.
I will do anything in my power to make this more popular than NW itself! Pike and Shot mods are so underrated!
Hey, this is the mod i started and never finished, and obviously you're using the resources i released which is great.Yes, please, I will really appreciate that :) . And yes,I am using your resources.You are in credits :) . I saw your ultimate pack and so I decided to complete this mod, which was never finished :D
I also have a 60%~ complete source code with all the units planned out, i can give you that if you want.
You will have to give me your steamname.
Dont forget to add in scotish lancersSpoiler(https://www.fsegames.eu/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn.shopify.com%2Fs%2Ffiles%2F1%2F0288%2F8306%2Fproducts%2Fwgp-08-scots-lancers-a_grande.jpeg%3Fv%3D1397474177&hash=b69cc91aa46dd4b9856d6dd6ca714b4a92e0a252)[close]
you should also make it possible for artillery trains to not only carry the cannon rounds, but to also bring in the ammo for the guns.
Thanks for image. I will add them those lancer.. My problem is to find if they were fighting for Royalists or Parliamentarists.
Why not instead of doing different types of units, just make different regiments with sub classes like Serjeant, Captain, Ensign, Pikeman/Musketeer and of course drummer.
Needless to say, tracking, but would recommend using regular warband for a largely melee based mod, over NW.
So you're doing late civil war? Where there were more musketeers than pikemen instead of early civil war when it was the opposite?Why not instead of doing different types of units, just make different regiments with sub classes like Serjeant, Captain, Ensign, Pikeman/Musketeer and of course drummer.

With that regiments, you mean something like this ? :DSpoiler(https://i.imgur.com/8wg4t9W.jpg)[close]
Drummers will be in later update.
And this is not "largely melee based mod" . Firearms play an important role..
New images soon. Troops are almost done ;)
This is second civil war. Name 1642-English civil war doesnt mean it is in First war. Name of mod will be later renamed to Pike and Shotte-English Civil War. What do you mean by that twirling flag animation ? :DThe whole reason anyone ever fought in the English civil war, so they could show off their flashy flags to the other side.
I swear if this mod dies, I will curse this community and declare every member a "Fug". This is looking up to become a really good mod with the way your doing it
:D
Ok. I will disable reloading for bots while reloading.But how will they reload?! D:
Cheeky reply of course Wigster :DOk. I will disable reloading for bots while reloading.But how will they reload?! D:

Great job with the uniforms! I'll keep and eye on this mod.
Good luck! Ill make ya a commander battle if ya want me to :P

Those snaphanz muskets look oddly familiar....
Can you make it so all the weights of the items in a unit make the same total weight so formations are easy to play out without individuals being faster than others when walking?
Incredible flags! Do you know of a release date?
Looks great Dazzer. Just message me if you need any help with anything, this is sort of my mod in a way after all.
Come now! At least use historical words! ie. Ensigne or Souldier being examples
All the items from WFAS. :P

Looks great, but wouldn't it be better if you used real historical leaders? Like for the Parliamentarians you could use Oliver Cromwell.
That looks very good, new idle animations?
Wondering.. How easy it is to impress people.
Whats the difference? A video or a gif would be good, to show such an animation :)

My friend Disaster was once in the 1st IE event. He threw up into the air thinking that it would hit the outside trench, instead t landed back down, blew almost half the team, and got banned. Some say that was the reason IE died :o

Haha, I found those images on google ::) . I dont have that game. I was thinking about buying Medieval 2: Total War and then download this mod, but I think it could not work on my PC. Do you think it could work on Win 8.1? Btw, it's for King or Country :D
Hats aren't frilly enough, they look far more like cromwells ironsides.
i don't know about historical accuracy, but it sure does look amazing!
Sorry guys. Mod progress will be slow for now, because I mistakenly deleted BRF file containing uniforms. I have backup, but without new uniforms. Sorry

Scottish Covenanter LancersI'd suggest removing the morion from any cav units, morions have no straps, they'd just fly off the head of the wearer mid-gallop, give them a pappenheimer or similar helms to your vision of charle's guards.Spoiler(https://i.imgur.com/j3L57D2.jpg)[close]

My source is from King or Country, mod for Medieval II Total war. It was professionally researched. But now really I don't know
Those figures are from Bicorne Miniatures: http://www.bicorne.net/Sure
They do specific figures for the King's Lifeguard, I have linked the pictures below.

What the cavalry wore is the least well known part of the armies of the English Civil War. Most looked very similar, buff being very common. It is known that prince Rupert's Horse most likely wore red.
I have an old Osprey book on the subject if you are interested.

May I just add as well that this mod is looking really promising. It is good you are looking into the specific regiments that fought in the conflict and trying to get the right uniforms. It is a bit of a murky subject though, some regiments may be issued with one colour uniform one year, they would wear out, and a completely new uniform would be issued the next, with a mxituer of the two sometimes being quite common. Sashes are an issue as well, some Parliamentarian regiments didn't wear orange, Cromwell is seen in one painting wearing white. The Earl of Essex' army definitely wore orange though and they were the main field army Parliament had to offer.
I am sure this has probably been answered but will the Covenanter's be a separate faction? Seeing as though they fought both the King and Parliament it would make sense. And are they in grey uniforms? Most Covenanter's wore grey uniforms with blue bonnets.
With the fife and drum you might do well to get in contact with an English Civil War re-enactment regiment, they know all the necessary drum calls, and see if they can perhaps lend something to the musical side of things. I do Napoleonic re-enacting myself but some men in my regiment might know a few from the Sealed Knot.
I am sure you have probably heard this tune but I think it would be very fitting for background music:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qifKNVeMNQk
It was composed after the First Civil War but it has been used in documentaries about the conflict. It will be good when this mod comes out, I have just finished studying the Civil War at University and have had a keen interest in it for years (my home town was the only town in East Anglia to actually side with the King, apparently you can still see a hole in the church tower where a cannonball went through).
(https://i.imgur.com/XQz6LbF.jpg)Not sure they'd have such a contrast in colours, or any differing colours at all, Tartan is just a weaving pattern, so I wouldn't recommend having a jacket made out of tartan, it would look rather like the man's just been to the tailor's. Perhaps a baggy shirt with a plain, dull coloured kilt?
Actually, I don't know if they really had tartans.
For now I only added a few songs for drummers. For now I don't plan to add fifers.
I didn't hear that song before. I will add it
And remember: Im not the only creator. Willhelm did alot in this mod, and other people who own OSP resources, Caribbean! and With Fire and Sword team too!

From what I have heard with the tartans (and painting 28mm figures of them) it was quite random. Some of them had them slung across the shoulder like a sash. The patterns varied of course, there were not really any set patterns of tartan in this period. The Highlands were generally loyal to the King whilst the Lowlands were more where the Covenanters recruited from meaning that it was Royalists that tended to wear tartan. This site has some good pictures of what the Royalist Scottish regiments may have looked like (apparently some were still using bows and arrows):

I'm loving those tartans.
Good work with those Scots (Covenanter's or Royalist or both?). Just had a thought with the soundtrack, what about using parts from the soundtrack of the film Cromwell (1970)? Here is an extract:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tj0hqKLHLAU
My favourite parts are at 3:25-3:38 (played in the film when the King arrives to raise his standard, could be used for the Royalist victory music) and 5:44-6:30ish (played when the New Model Army is marching to Naseby, could be used as Parliamentarian victory music). I don't know about copyright issues of course as it is from a film as opposed to a historical piece of music, then again the Zulu War mod got away with using music from Zulu and Zulu Dawn.

anyways i do believe they do researches for their miniatures otherwise it wouldnt make sense but i agree on the point that their historical accuracy could be dubious
oh and about the highland swordsmen, i think you should add them for some intresting variety, they are in century of war too you could look there for reference, good luck dont get too stressed
Why is everyone so offended? It was a jest, a light hearted one at that, seeing as they do have some nice colour schemes to base the textures off. ::)Why not just rename the mod Pike and Shotte WG and texture/model everything based on the Minatures from warlord games? :P
So what if he is basing his soldiers off of the Warlord Games website? They have a reliable source for uniforms. No need to be a dick about it.

So I thought about making piper and own drummer for Covenanters, but one unit can have only 5 ranks: Musketeer, Pikeman, Sergeant, Officer and Ensign. Maybe there is a way how to have 7 ranks, or I will put them to Musican section.Perhaps add a similar feature that N&S has for their infantry selection section but add it for the ranks?

Looking good, I think the unit roster is shaping up pretty well. It is a shame we can't add more regiments (I would have loved to seen some of the Cornish foot there) but the game does have its limitations. How many colours will be available to be carried in the game by the ensigns? I know in regular Napoleonic the British faction was able to carry two colours (the King's and Regimental's, as they did historically). Of course in this era, each company usually had a colour meaning that there would be about ten carried, although as the war went on and men and colours were lost I believe it was more common for two or three to be carried (although there are reports that the King's Lifeguard of Foote carried their full compliment at Naseby, even though there were only a few hundred men left in the regiment by that point).
personally i think that lancer rankers should only use lances and a sword sidearm
Love that feather/plume in the last one.
What regiments do you need for the cavalry colours? I know some wargame manufacturers do cavalry flags so I could look into that. I know the King's Lifeguard of Horse had a red flag with the crown in the centre and the cypher CR either side of it (the C and the R also had smaller crowns above them). Prince Rupert's lifeguard and his regular Horse regiment (there were two regiments of cavalry that were named in his honour) featured his coat of arms. This site use to do them for free but they now make you pay for the flags although you can still preview them: http://www.wargamesdesigns.com/ecw-royalist.html (go back for the other flags as well for the Parliamentarians and Royalists).
As there is so little information, sometimes just making a calculated guess or using a flag from an unknown regiment will do just fine.
Check your PMs on FSE. I sent you the method, I hope it works for you.So I thought about making piper and own drummer for Covenanters, but one unit can have only 5 ranks: Musketeer, Pikeman, Sergeant, Officer and Ensign.

Yeah, but I have no idea how to do that :D . I saw in War of 1812 mod there were more ranks for unit, so it must be somehow possible, but with my skills it would not be
Why don't you post screenshots in high quality btw? Anyway, nice job.
I personally prefer the first one as it looks a little darker, armour does look dark like that in most pictures I see of re-enactors. The second one looks a little too clean/new. If the armour was the same colour it may not matter as much but even then after being con campaign for a while and most likely keeping the same set it would most definitely look darker.

Sorry for late reply. To my knowledge they were in red. There is evidence that they ordered red uniforms at some point (I don't have the source to hand sadly). However, as the war went on you would probably see a mixture of uniforms. I expect a few more would be in soft hats as well.
Then again, this source has Prince Rupert Lifeguard (who formed a part of the regiment and were sometimes detached as a separate unit) in blue: http://www.blews-ltb.co.uk/regimentinfo/royalistCoats.asp
I know Prince Rupert himself probably wore a light blue coat with a montero hat (large white feather of course). I am a little busy tomorrow but will have a look around to see. I believe I may have left the Osprey book on the subject back at University so will have to travel over there at some point to retrieve it.
EDIT: From Osprey 'Some accounts have survived, such as that of Sir Thomas Dallison, who obtained 300 or 400 yards of red cloth to make cloaks for Prince Rupert's Horse'
Those are bavarians mate. :P
Okay, I had a brain fart.Those are bavarians mate. :P
Lol . I searched for Prince Rupert's horse and this image appeared :D But why they carry Rupert's horse flag then?
Looks good, the soft hats definitely make them stand out a little more from the King's Lifeguard. As I have said before, one part of Prince Rupert's Regiment of Horse was designated as his Lifeguard, I have heard mention that many in the lifeguard wore Cuirassier armour (although like much of the history of the armies, we do not know for sure), if you were able to introduce more ranks then maybe it could go:
Trooper (like above soft hats)
Lifeguard (Cuirassier, maybe with red tunics? As mentioned one officer is reported to have ordered cloth to make red uniforms)
Trumpeter
Cornet
Officer
I like the blue sash as well, again makes them different from the King's Lifeguard (I am sure the King's Lifeguard wore red sashes). Most Royalists seem to have worn red sashes but then it seems some of the cavalry wore blue as well. With the tunics, maybe a little variation, perhaps the odd one in brown, faded red or buff?
On a separate note I just had a thought. The American Civil War mod added preachers, they would certainly fit into this type of mod, particularly the Parliamentarian side.

I mean more 17th Century style Cuirassiers. By the 19th century Cuirassiers only had a helmet, a Cuirass (the front breastplate)and a backplate (the picture on the left appears to be a French Napoleonic Cuirass). the picture on the right is more late Medieval/Early Renaisance.
From what I know, Prince Rupert had a troop known as his Lifeguard that made up part of the regiment but were sometimes detached as a separate unit. It is not known exactly what they wore but I have heard mention that the lifeguard were equipped as cuirassiers with the full armour.

http://blog.helion.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Hazelriggs-Lobsters-a-regiment-of-Curiassiers-were-destroyed-at-Roundaway-Down.jpg
There was only one regiment equipped entirely as Cuirassiers during the war (Hasselrig's on the parliamentarian side) but some individuals may have purchased full sets of armour. I would separate it so the troopers look pretty much like you have done them (maybe mix in a few buff coats as well) whilst the Cuirassier option are equipped as fully armoured Cuirrasiers with everything.
So:
Trooper- (soft hat, possibly a lobster pot, breast and back plate, maybe a buff coat. Tunic either do blue, brown or red)
Lifeguard- (Full armour, helmet, Breast and Back Plate, armour for the arms and legs etc.)
Trumpeter- (Probably wouldn't give them armour, have them in a buff coat with a soft hat)
Cornet- (equipped probably the same as the trooper)
Officer- (probably wouldn't change the one you have. In terms of colour of sash I suppose blue is good as it does make them stand out from the King's Lifeguard)
D some in red but mix it up a little, blue will be fine in order to add some variation in uniforms and to distinguish them.
That is the problem with a civil war they all look the same :)You've just given me an idea, why not force remove overhead banners? :D
Just stumbled upon this, it looks amazing.. Good Luck to you man, I hope it will be fantastic ^
Should I use this flag for Cromwell's Ironsides? (https://i.imgur.com/UFXsuSA.jpg)From this site: http://wiki.bcw-project.org/parliamentarian/horse-regiments/oliver-cromwell
Looking good. I did read somewhere that cavalry guidons (flags) were quite small, some being only 60cm/2 feet, but it is probably better to make them a little bigger. Dragoon flags as well were shaped differently from other flags (see the bottom of this picture):
http://www.wargamesdesigns.com/uploads/8/8/4/5/8845944/3388630_orig.png
Couldn't you adapt some of the models from regular Napoleonic Wars? I seem to remember the cavalry flags in that were smaller. If not I am sure there must be an expert on modding flags who could lend a hand.
Yes I realised that and edited my comment but didn't realise you had replied. Still, perhaps after the first release of the mod you may get some modders from other projects offer to lend a hand. In the meantime though keep up the good work, you have done a lot already, the roster of units are looking good. Are you going to add another Royalist Cavalry regiment to the roster?
Fair enough, it is a shame that we don't have much reference for Motroses cavalry otherwise we could include them to lvien things up a bit (he did raise some small units, including this one: http://wiki.bcw-project.org/scots-royalist/horse-regiments/capt-blackadder there is a full list of regiments here:http://wiki.bcw-project.org/scots-royalist/horse-regiments/start)
I'm interested in this era and would like to help mod with u :'(
Damn them, they should have known that nearly four hundred years later we would want to represent them in a computer game ;DFair enough, it is a shame that we don't have much reference for Motroses cavalry otherwise we could include them to lvien things up a bit (he did raise some small units, including this one: http://wiki.bcw-project.org/scots-royalist/horse-regiments/capt-blackadder there is a full list of regiments here:http://wiki.bcw-project.org/scots-royalist/horse-regiments/start)
Yeah. In time of war they could paint images of regiments and troops to make easier life for us :D

Going back to the preachers, if somebody could do the voice then I would do a few different types.
1) Royalist priest:
(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a8/William_Laud.jpg)
I would base his vestments on those worn by Archbishop Laud
2) Parliamentarian/Puritan Priest:
(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8b/John_Pym.jpg)
I know John Pym was an MP and not a priest but the style of clothes he is wearing in the painting look stereotypically Puritan. I would probably give a Puritan priest a large hat a la Witchfinder General.
Some other options to add as well
3)Covenanter Priest
4)Irish Catholic Priest
5) Ranters and Levellers
Warlord games released this little vignette a while ago:
(https://www.fsegames.eu/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn.shopify.com%2Fs%2Ffiles%2F1%2F0288%2F8306%2Fproducts%2Fwgp-ec-31-rabblerousers_1024x1024.jpeg%3Fv%3D1397474210&hash=8e1dea3c2089913749eb1aa36439dcc1fe035e12)
I think the tasset was rapidly falling out of fashion by this era. If you look at this photo from the King's Lifeguard of Foote re-enactment group then none of them are in tassets and some don't even wear armour at all!
(https://www.fsegames.eu/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kingslifeguard.co.uk%2Fcpg15x%2Falbums%2FGreat%2520Barford%25202009%2F12.jpg&hash=de10a314614dbb5bc8b56e0ba53068deb44a9cad)
Some soldiers did wear them though, I would have two options, one with and one without. I have attached a picture of some figures I painted from the King's Lifeguard as well.
I would keep them in armour, perhaps just have the helmet, breast and backplate without tassets as a compromise? Buff coats were worn extensively during the English Civil War but were most popularly utilized by the cavalry. I have never seen many illustrations of pikemen wearing buffcoats. Remember, you can always do second version of the mod with more fleshed out units. I have a book on order as well about the uniforms of the Civil War, should be here in a few days.

I was experimenting a little earlier and came up with these.
Well if Warlord Games are anything to go by, then trumpeters didn't wear any armour:
(https://www.fsegames.eu/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.warlordgames.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2010%2F07%2FWGP-09-Cuirassiers.png&hash=38775f18c313fd34a94464816158f4784b3f6225)
He is basically equipped like most other trumpeters. They tended to wear soft hats from what I can see:

http://toysoldiersanddiningroombattles.blogspot.co.uk/2013_08_01_archive.html
No problem. By the way, I notice that they (Warlord Games) have labelled the trumpeter as a cornet. Whilst I understand that the cornet is a musical instrument, there was (and still is in the Blues and Royals and Queens Royal Hussars) the rank of Cornet. A Cornet is the equivalent to an ensign in the infantry, thus would carry the Colours, so from what I understand, this fellow should be referred to as a Trumpeter whilst the cavalry ensign should be known as a Cornet.Yes
They look excellent, number two is my favourite (although I would give the Trumpeter an orange sash as red is for the King!) Judging from the background, I assume Cromwell took them on a trip to the beech ::)
Good as well that the Covenanter's will be in grey. I would keep the designs you have already done though, If you are able to do a Highland unit for the Royalists they would fit in quite well with a little tweaking (shields, claymores, bows etc.)
Here is a pciture of some Covenanters I have done in 28mm:
(https://i.imgur.com/RoljTd0.jpg)
(https://i.imgur.com/ISLNr9e.jpg)
I think it is just known as a trumpet banner. The Trumpeters of the Household Cavalry still have them today (and have had them since they were formed in 1660):
(https://www.fsegames.eu/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fhouseholdcavalry.info%2Fimages%2Ftpt2.jpg&hash=352d812fa3eb4edcbd16503ad2ba0df33f0fadd9)
I doubt there is much evidence on what they all looked like, they probably differed from regiment to regiment. Since the colour of Hasselrig's standard was green then it is most likely that the trumpet banner was green also, as you have done. The film Cromwell has some of the Royalist trumpet banners bearing the Royal Standard, although there are plenty of inveteracies with the film.
They are looking good, how many units are there left to go? I have a new book coming from Thursday onwards that should have plenty of colour plates of English Civil War Uniforms.
Looks good, although I notice he has a red sash around his waist, Parliamentarian ones should be orange (there is some dispute over that, some other armies wore different colour sashes and Cromwell is known to have worn a white sash at one point). The red stripe around his hat should probably be orange as well, the feather is fine as far as I am aware.
This little fellow arrived today:

But tabletop miniatures have some limitations as well, theyhave to keep officers and musicans special.Anyone planning to go on a battlefield would take some form of self-defense. Common sense would dictate that, I wouldn't want to go on a field without something to jab the opposing side with.
But most of the time musicans were not soldiers, so they did not have any weapons(not even swords)
Seconded. I do Napoleonic re-enacting (okay, an era a hundred and fifty years after the Civil War) and all the drummers have swords. They were meant more for chopping wood but if the going got tough then they would have little choice. Interestingly, drummers in the Napoleonic era were paid the same as a Corporal and were meant to administer field punishment (flogging usually).But tabletop miniatures have some limitations as well, theyhave to keep officers and musicans special.Anyone planning to go on a battlefield would take some form of self-defense.

When you mean invincible, you mean like god like being that can never die or they have more health than most of the troop, but still can be killed in other ways (like cannonballs ;) )
you shall never stop the mad midnight drummer mass murderer!When you mean invincible, you mean like god like being that can never die or they have more health than most of the troop, but still can be killed in other ways (like cannonballs ;) )
I was just joking. They will be killable. Only rule is: Don't kill musician, if is he not attacking you, in deathmatch, conquest and team deathmatch. In event, try not to shoot him.

I'd recommend giving fancy boots like that to Officers, Serjeants, Ensigns and drummers due to them being paid more than the regular troops.Sounds like a good idea although even then, most illustrations I have seen show only Officers and the cavalry in boots. Still I am sure some must have worn them and like you said they would be paid more (I don't know about the English Civil War, but in the Napoleonic Wars British drummers were paid the same as a Corporal).
Don't worry, in our quest for perfection we keep forgetting that you are the only person creating and editing the uniforms for the mod. What you have done so far is amazing and I can't wait for the mod to come out. If there is trouble in changing the boots then don't worry, I don't think I will have any sleepless nights over it! It could be worst, we could decide the buttons are the wrong design or something!
By the way, when you say just one rank of drummer, will you have different variants within that? Say the option pick the colour of uniform you are wearing (red, blue, white for Royalists for example?)
Looks great, have fun on your vacation :)
Excellent, I did try to find some Trumpet calls for the cavalry but have had no luck (interestingly, according to my book on Civil War drumming, dragoons had drummers). By the way, I have just Pm'd you some more background music suggestions.

I would just stick with infantry for now. Of course they would be mounted and ride in but I don't know if they had a different type of drum, I will look into it. Oh and good to see the footwear issue is fixed!
And in reply to Augy, I did suggest having the option to be a Leveller, a Puritan priest, a Catholic priest and an Anglican priest. Perhaps it would be good as well to have the option to be a camp follower. Women regularly accompanied the armies and would most likely tend to the wounded (although it was very rudimentary and most likely after the fighting had stopped). Infamously, the Parliamentarians massacred dozens of Royalist woman after Naseby because they thought they were Irish Catholics (they were actually Welsh). Still, these things are complicated so it will take time.
EDIT: Just found this over at Warlord Games:
(https://www.fsegames.eu/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.warlordgames.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2010%2F02%2FMtd_Dragoon_drummer.jpg&hash=8d5d0dfcc1b2137e6d7fc0fbdbf158e97927780a)

It would appear then that drummers in the dragoon regiments looked exactly like an other drummer (being cavalry some are wearing boots)but would sling their drum across their back when riding into battle. When they dismounted they would then beat out the calls.
I think they had a variety of headgear like the rest of the army. They only painted a few figures as examples and chose the montero cap for the drummer, although if you want to give him that hat it wouldn't hurt. Warlord Games also make Scottish dragoons (Covenanter and Royalist) so if you wanted to add a Scottish cavalry regiment to the Royalist roster, you could do Royalist Scottish dragoons but give them the blue bonnet (I don't know what colour tunics, either red or perhaps grey).
nice to see you re back, cant wait for this!

I think they were quickly dropped after the Scots joined the war to stop any confusion.Even it may not be historicaly correct, I will try to include all of them. It all depends on Black Watch 1745 if he will send me how they looked
I was wandering how many Ensigne (Proper Olde English spelling) will we see? Will we see the full host from the Colonel's right the way to the 3-4 or even 5th Captain's or will there be just the 1 per Regiment of Foote?
And I just found your old thread about Prince Rupert's foote ::)He he he for the Deluge yeah :P was a good little regiment. Pity I got forced to form it when I couldn't be there to command so it died off.
Interestingly as well:Those red and blue crosses were crosses of gallantry awarded to men of the regiment by the Marquess himself.
'Royalist prisoners taken at York were said to have white coats with red and blue silk crosses on their sleeves by a Parliamentarian'
Wow, my mod got mentioned here? :o
why in God's name was there no following for century of war???
Excellent work! Can't wait to play this mod, I will probably play it more than regular Napoleonic Wars!
Ha ha! I agree with him though, this is looking pretty good! Can't wait for the release.
Fairax's Regiment of foote officerLooks good although one minor point, he should probably have an orange sash for Parliament as red is the colour usually associated with the King. There is some controversy though as I believe Fairfax was with the Eastern Association and may not have worn the orange sashes of Essex's army.

EDIT: I just noticed as well that he is wearing two sashes, one around the waist and one across his shoulder, I believe it should be either one around his waist or one across the shoulder. I don't think there was a particular system for wearing sashes, in the Napoleonic Wars it was sashes around the waist for officers and sergeants apart from the highland regiments who wore it across the shoulder. Personally I would give the ensigns the sash across the waist and the officers the sash across the shoulder, although you could alternate it a bit between regiments.
It looks like that the sash was also worn the other way on the shoulder (for officers in the infantry at least, maybe sergeants wore them the other way?) although of course I doubt there was a uniformed system for the wearing of sashes:

Thanks to Juan for showing me this mod. THIS LOOKS SO COOL! The Troop variety is cool compared to say, Russian Partisans from NW. I always wanted a mod that took lots and lots of Scottish troops. I have but one request though, actually two.
The first (Easier) one is for there to be Bagpipers for the Scottish foot units
The second (Way harder) is perhaps a Campaign mode?
Good luck making this! I can't wait to play.
Researching the uniforms of the regiments that took part in the English Civil War is like trying to build a jigsaw with 90% of the pieces missing and no box cover to have for reference, not to mention having a few other jigsaws mixed in to confuse you!
Amen to that, can't wait to play as the King's Lifeguard!
The King and the Cause!
The church and the laws!
Charles, King of England!
Prince Rupert of the Rhine!
God Save the King!
When you get the mod finished we will have to settle this somewhere, I hear Edgehill is good this time of year!
On a side note, I was wondering about having the troops shouting the correct battle-cries (like the one above)? I tried recording some but my voice is too gentle.
Looks great, and the drummer too (minus him shouting 'Rule Britannia' but as I said previously we need voice actors to fix that!) The pictures you put up on ModB look good as well, how many more regiments are there left now to do?
It looks good, however I would disable blocking with the pike. In real life, I would presume they're really heavy.

I think you might be able to do it in Morgh's Editor, if I'm not wrong. I wouldn't have it when you drop weapons, just no blocking. Gets quite annoying after a while.
Love it! Looking at the re-enactors, the majority of the drummers in Prince Rupert's Regiment are wearing montero caps.Spoiler(https://www.fsegames.eu/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fnews.bbcimg.co.uk%2Fmedia%2Fimages%2F76560000%2Fjpg%2F_76560780_wp_20140727_027.jpg&hash=aee75a5ba9876d4d53db5db79977bf48267e743b)[close]
Then again it would depend on the individual although as has been previously discussed, the drummers were well paid and the Colonel of the regiment would take great care to make sure they were well arrayed. I've seen examples of some wearing large white feathers in their caps (of course many officers wore them in their hats and sergeants sometimes used a single feather to mark their rank).
With the drums, not clear in the photograph but some do have Prince Rupert's coat of arms on the front although I think that may be conjectural.

This is actually turning into something nice. Oo
I am certainly looking forward to this mod being released. The uniforms look great and it does seem there is some interest in this mod. Even if we don't get the numbers that play regular Napoleonic I hope it will be popular.
By the way Pro_Dazzer, could we get a look at some of the drum designs you have done? I think doing the flags does make sense for most of the regiments (just those two or three I have already listed, King's Lifeguard, Prince Rupert's, Earl of Manchester's and possibly the Earl of Essex's should have the coat of arms of their respective namesakes).
Spring proposes that, since it was a double-sized regiment, one 'battalion' wore green lined red and the other red lined greenI could make another 'battalion' in Others section with green lined red uniforms

There were no companies, well there were, but companies were more just a general term for bands of men, usually mercenaries.
Pike units were referred to as pike blocks.
You drink beer, not bears.
Whoring would've probably been banned in the Earl of Manchesters Regiment of Foote due to them being puritans.

I would love (And I mean it) to hear some suggestions about adding/Editing/fixing some things you see in the map.

your new avatar is awesome dazzer cant wait to play this :D
Any more updates? I am back at University now so will be a little busy from now on and, judging from posting activity, t'would appear that the same can be said of most people! I PM'd Juan a few more sources for the maps although that will probably take some time I would guess.No currently interesting updates. Just changing rosters etc
I remember you were having issues for finding an accurate detail on the uniform of the Princes cavalry. Just found this short vid.Spoilerhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOnKKs483e8[close]
I strongly disagree sir. This period is full of everything. Dash, romance, colour (remember most regiments have different coloured uniforms and some have quite unique Regimental Colours), Puritans and the future of nations in the balance. The tactics are at the cusp of the old and the new. One of the last major wars in which men whore full plate armour (that is from head to foot, I believe the Poles may have the distinction of being the last). New weaponry was coming to the fore such as the firelock musket and of course it saw the brith of the first regular, professional army in British history.Thats okay Black Watch. He is just trolling
I suspected as much. Still, thought I had better not stoop to his level. I cannot wait for the mod to come out, I probably shouldn't be asking but will we expect it sometime before Christmas?Maybe. Im getting bored with this a bit. I won't work on it for some time, but I will not quit. I just need a huge break. I just need to get attracted again, and then 70% percents of my day will be just modding. I promise. :)
He is doing wonderful work with the maps, I cannot wait to see what other ones he has up his sleeve! Take your time with it Pro, it is a large project and has a smaller team than others, whatever happens the mod will be great.

I am not trolling at all. The English Commonwealth has never interested me.
i understand your frustration, thank you for trying.thanks for understanding me. Juan told me he would like to continue developing. If not, I will release current version
Sad to hear that Dazzer. Could you upload all the files and send it to me? I might be able to get it finished and released in a couple of months when I know I'll be free from my current projects for a bit.Yeah, sure. Im uploading it now. Should be done in a few minutes
Looking forward to this!sorry but the project is cancelled for the moment

Very interested in the new mods under development that show alot of promise. Keep up the good work this would make a great mod for commander battles and future event hosting possibly.Yes I think Commander battles will be the best hope for it. Still, I would love to play a simple battle or siege (plenty of manor houses to defend), although we would need numbers for that to happen. If we get the word out there a little more then that will be good. There is a steam group going, although 'tis rather small.
Why is Century of War just ignored? It is a completed mod.
