Ever though about these units for maybe a sub-mod people can use? 8th King's Regiment of Foot. 49th Regiment of Foot.
Can I suggest adding more arrows for the Indians? Also shouldn't the us flag be available for ensigns (stars and stripes not the one thy have now)The Star-Spangled Banner? Well, I am pretty sure a flag bearer can choose up to four flag selections technically speaking.
The "eagle thing" or the National Standard carried by US regular army units is what was going on from 1812-15 so that is why we are using it. If you must have the Stars and Stripes a version of it was carried by the 5th Maryland State Militia who are currently in the mod.wouldn't it make more sense to have the eagle thing and the Star-Spangled Banner rather than the state flag?

We are doing what makes sense historically according to the research we have done with some occasional compromises for practical reasons.
I am pretty sure I can include up to four (if not more) colours for selection for an ensign/color sergeant. So that is not an issue of space.

Idk what is historical about not having it :/ and for practical reasons wouldnt it be fairly easy to replace the state flags with a national flag?
Then why does the 5th Maryland carry the Star spangled banner? And of course i could do it myself but this is a suggestion thread so yeah.The "eagle thing" or the National Standard carried by US regular army units is what was going on from 1812-15 so that is why we are using it.

The Stars Spangled Banner is in the mod. It is the United States faction flag and it flies over fortresses when the US is defending on siege maps. However, it was not carried by US infantry regiments when on the march. The flags in the game that are being carried by the standard bearers are the ones that were used by their respective regiments historically. If you would like to modify any of them after download that is your prerogative. All you have to do is change the texture sheet to whatever you want.
The 5th Maryland were a state militia regiment and not a part of the regular US Army and were therefore not subject to it's regulations concerning national and regimental colors.

so is that a no for the star spangled banner?

The mod will stay the way it currently is with respect to flags.
As you know, the Americans had indian allies during the war as well (Choctaw, Cherokee, and Muscogee) will be seeing a unit or two as a possibility to bring some balance?
We do have a new fur cap for the militia and expanding use of the slouch hat is something we might do. As far as tricorns are concerned, you will probably have to wait for one of the American Revolution mods to finish.and what about the victory song? No problems with changing it?

The “Bell Crown” Shako replaced the “Tombstone” Shako that had been used since the
War of 1812. In 1825, to augment the shako, a forage cap was introduced for wear in the
field.
Just to add my perspective into the tricorn and win music suggestions. Hail Columbia was not the US national anthem as the US did not have an official national anthem until 1937. Hail Columbia was considered an unofficial national anthem along with other songs. We could use any song from the period for win music like Yankee Doodle if we want.hail colombia was the most popular and fits better since it's not available to be played by musicians. The trio corn wa also worn during the war by civilians on both sides
Also, I think the rarity of the tricorn during the period of our mod doesn't warrant it's inclusion. If we make it a variant headdress it is likely to show up as often as the round hat or slouch hat which would be inaccurate.
~~~~~ DIFFERENT U.S. WIN1 MUSIC SELECTIONS ~~~~~
If you want a different win1 sound, open your mod folder and open the Sounds folder. Rename as desired and vice versa to revert.
(From default "Star-Spangled Banner" to "Hail Columbia")
1.Rename win1 to win1_us_star_spangled_banner
2.Rename win1_us_hail_columbia to win1
(From "Hail Columbia" to "Star-Spangled Banner")
1.Rename win1 to win1_us_hail_columbia
2.Rename win1_star_spangled_banner to win1
Hail Columbia is a crappy song and we already have 3 variant hats for the frontier militia. No tricorns are needed.
O' the irony. I like the song Hail Columbia well enough but after listening to it over and over again I cannot get the lyrics out of my head right now. /Modding.

Fantastic job Blitz! And here's the mini-modifications linkEver though about these units for maybe a sub-mod people can use? 8th King's Regiment of Foot. 49th Regiment of Foot.
A re-skin adding both the 8th and 49th Foot is now available in the War of 1812 mini-mod thread.
Bug I found today:My god, he was the Melee Warrior not Tecumseh. Your text files must of got screwed up.Spoiler(https://i.imgur.com/3p4zDF2.jpg)[close]
His class is tecumseh (?) and he is missing part of his waist. Also it wasnt just the position he was in, as it happened when running/walking/aiming etc.
Thanks for reading!

A new naval map called Boarding Action has just been finished for incorporation into the next version of War of 1812. It is just what it's title suggests, a map of two frigates side by side. There are ladders and planks positioned to allow movement between the ships and up in the rigging. The object in conquest mode would be to capture the other ship's flag. There will also likely be team deathmatch and battle game modes as well.ok swag
Doing a map with movable frigates supplied with cannon and crews can not be handled with the current game engine as the developers have pointed out so recreating a Constitution vs Guerriere type of sailing battle can not be done. However, there are maps in the current version that do use schooners and movable longboats such as Lake Borgne and Fort York that you may not be aware of yet.
As far as units are concerned, we will be adding a colonial marine to the British faction in the next version. This was a unit made up mostly of escaped slaves from coastal plantations. They were often used in raids during the Chesapeake campaign but will be available in both late and early war configurations. This unit will be uniformed in a white fatigue jacket with blue facings and will not have face customization. The rest of the uniform will be as the other British marines except they will not have a knapsack.
