No. Poofy trousers have no place on a battlefield whatsoever.

[DaMonkey]

Don't be a rabble rouser, bin those trousers!

[Duuring]

Technically all trousers were poofy in this period.

[Olafson]

Well Zouave trousers are on the extreme end though.

[shchi]

I was joking... Did no one notice?



We still probably won't add them for quite some time, but I really can not tell tbh. We will see.

Speaking of which...how are those admin tools coming along?

[shchi]

The best American zouaves wear properly shaped french style kepis and red or solid colored striped trousers [non-baggy].

The chassaeur uniforms are the best looking ones anyway. Some of the best CW uniforms. Only Confederate Uniforms are better.

I also really like the uniforms of the Garibaldi Guard and 79th NY even though they only really wore part of their scottish uniform once, with the tartan trousers.

I don't get why First Lieutenant isn't available (yet) in this Blog.
He is part of the company, even it's just an Adjutant of the Captain.

FIRST LIEUTENANT

[Olafson]

Because adding all possible ranks would be to much. We just chose one of the Lieutenants at random. We just need one, because the only reason for a Lieutenant to be there is to replace the Captain in case he is incapable of leading the company. Even if you wanted to break into platoons, you would still have a leader for each platoon. More sergeants or officers would just bloat up the company structure for no reason.

From the blog:

You might have noticed that the company is not having the correct composition of ranks that a company should have had in reality. This has three reasons. Firstly, it was not uncommon during the civil war, that a company would be reduced so much in size that many ranks were simply missing or no longer needed. Secondly, it would blow the scale of our game if we were to include every single rank that a regiment/company would have had.

We are aiming for 500, if that is possible we do not know just yet. We will do our best. Either way, we will not ship the game with less than 200.
