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.

So Should I make dragoon drummer or infantry drummer is enough?

It wouldnt be a proper mod on the English civil war without the Levellers.

  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:


  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 will try my best. But did they have only this type of cap or normal hats too?

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).
EDIT: I have found two Scottish Royalist Dragoon regiments:
Captain Blackadder’s Troop of Dragoons: http://wiki.bcw-project.org/scots-royalist/horse-regiments/capt-blackadder
Captain John Mortimer’s Troop of Dragoons: http://wiki.bcw-project.org/scots-royalist/horse-regiments/john-mortimer
  The latter were drawn from the Irish troops so would most likely have the same uniforms.

Looks great! I was just thinking about the loading screen actually but that one looks good. What will you use for the one on the main menu? I have a few suggestions:



(You already have this one on the main page I notice)

  Ah one of Don Troiani's if I am not mistaken. I believe it is of the first settlers of Jamestown some decades before the Civil War but the kit and clothing is pretty much the same (minus the helmets):
