Love the officers, glad to see you're taking the historical side seriously.

Well, its not that much historically accurate, but its similar to them  :D
Thanks

Theres a heck of a lot of variation and personal preference for Officers in this war though so you can make some interesting looking units.

Yeah. Because during the war, I think there was a lack of regulation, so people equipped their men with what they felt like equipping their men.

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!

Yep! Can't find hardly anything due to lack of standardized uniform regulations.

I know. Its really hard. But my friend sent me a good mod about beggining of 17th century for Empire TW, so if you got that game, you could look at some units. http://www.moddb.com/mods/colonialism-1600ad-work-in-progress

If you need help with the uniforms of the men of the period send me a PM any time. I'd be more then happy to provide historical assistance.

I know, but there is no auto install, and I suck at ETW modding, and I don't want to screw up my game.

Its simple. Just follow instructions.

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.

Thanks for your support!
The first request: It could be possible. I could make Musician troop, where  you could choose if you want bagpipe or drum.
The second: Thats the hardest thing to do in NW. I would need to add new strings, map, and everything. For me its impossible.
Thanks for your nice words. I will try to finish it as soon as possible  :)

I don't think so, in fact there's lists out there which list the uniform colours of the different regiments.  Here, have this, i also sent it to Dazzer so maybe he has already sent it to you. It's 10 ebooks about the English civil wars including detailed information about uniforms and equipment. It should help immensely when it comes to research.
