Any chance we may see a United States unit with a spiked helmet? Although probably not the most common of sights, from what I understand they did catch on for a time during the late 19th century.

I don't really have any specifics on the subject, but these should bounce the idea about a bit:

Like I said, just an idea; I don't really have specifics on who within the U.S. armed forces used them.

I agree, I think the Dress Uniform is a very good looking one, but the US 1881 Dress helmet, which I assume is the helmet you are referring to, looked more like a Black Pith Helmet with a spike similar to the helmet of the Duke of Cornwall's Light Infant than a Picklehaube.

They look like a ceremonial piece, doesn't look like something that was used in combat I'm afraid.

Exactly, it was a Dress Uniform piece, not used on the Field.

USA USA USA!

Those units are just amazing, well done mate!

I think the american units look great, although id would of liked to see some more european factions

I hope you guys didnt forget to add priests for US and shinto monks for japan! Otherwise the united priest federation of Blood&Iron will give out some nasty bitchslaps as seen underneath:

Great work with both Japan and the United States! I cannot wait for the update to be released!

We've not seen the American musicians and officers yet now, maybe one might have it?

Excellent! American shall march to victory!

Y'all ever think about using Jacobhind's OSP sword running animation? It'd fit the samurai very well:

Looks shitty on all the european and american officers IMO but jacobhinds cavalry charging animation looks great! Would like to see this one in the mod!

[Willhelm]

It would do the animation across all nations which might look silly. Not sure if that cavalry animation works properly but you can be assured that Parrot is very big on replacing animations and adding new ones.

I like the Cavalry one, whenever I charge I always picture myself doing that animation

[hardcorefreestyleboy]

If I may ask- on what are you working right now as the 2 new factions appear to be finished?

[Willhelm]

Clean up and optimisation, sounds, maps, textures, a few more units, the list goes on.
