Developer Blog 22 - In-game Teaser

Begs the question, how are you guys going to have the unit selection? Is it going to be like NW or completely different? (Please be different, please let this game be as good as I hope it'll be...)

You can't just say 'different', explain how. Imo the current system works fine.

Milly, you got see some CSA uniforms, how do you feel?

Its different because its like a raffle. You never know what class you will get.

Would be nice to see some melee or generally any gameplay, that is the thing that will decide whether a lot of people will buy it or just a few.

[Olafson]

Looks amazing, but where is the HAIR?!?

It is all Work in Progress.

There will be hair, beard and accessory selections in the final game.

Great Work Guys

Looks good. I would just say that regarding uniforms I would give the artillery jackets noticing that in those screens they appear to be wearing only under shirts. The idea of gunners mostly not wearing their jackets and having red undershirts is a reenacterism.

Excellent job FSE, you are tempting me to donate to get the alpha access, but I am not sure

I always liked the impression of artillerymen wearing the shirts way more. Of course, jackets will also be available for selection as soon as I pay more attention  to the South. Btw, here is a closeup of buttoned up Richmont type 2 shell:

Very impressive, cant wait.

But what will the melee mechanics be like? I understand that the controll is just like Warband, and switching into melee is the same. But my question is will it be as crazy as warband? Or will it be improved and more realistic

[Millander]

Thats radd looking. Although like I said it may look cooler however almost every photo of soldiers with artillery they were in jackets.

 Another thing to point out that I noticed is the amount of blue pants in the pictures of confederates. Light blue trousers were not standard issue to confederates until later in the war and those had a richer blue than the Federal ones. Yes there were some cases of them being taken from dead Union soldiers but this is pretty rare for the ANV had a good supply of trousers for a most of the war.

 Will details in uniforms such as those be customizable?
