Pike & Shotte - English Civil War Mod

[Dazzer]

Pikeman vs Pikeman

[Black Watch 1745]

Looks great, and the drummer too (minus him shouting 'Rule Britannia' but as I said previously we need voice actors to fix that!) The pictures you put up on ModB look good as well, how many more regiments are there left now to do?

Im currently adding drummers and ensignes to Parliament infantry, and soon I will go working on Royalist regiments

[The Mighty McLovin]

It looks good, however I would disable blocking with the pike. In real life, I would presume they're really heavy.

Yeah. I would also like to add dropping your pike if you switch weapons. But I think it's done by scripts, which I don't understand much

I think you might be able to do it in Morgh's Editor, if I'm not wrong. I wouldn't have it when you drop weapons, just no blocking. Gets quite annoying after a while.

I just need to change itc_spear to itc_lance

I always loved pikes for not being allowed to block, gives me more of an incentive to stab people in the face with ma big stick

Rupert's Foot drummer

[Black Watch 1745]

Love it! Looking at the re-enactors, the majority of the drummers in Prince Rupert's Regiment are wearing montero caps.

  Then again it would depend on the individual although as has been previously discussed, the drummers were well paid and the Colonel of the regiment would take great care to make sure they were well arrayed. I've seen examples of some wearing large white feathers in their caps (of course many officers wore them in their hats and sergeants sometimes used a single feather to mark their rank).
  With the drums, not clear in the photograph but some do have Prince Rupert's coat of arms on the front although I think that may be conjectural.

Thanks. I think it would be the best to have on drums only flag of specific regiment. I don't believe random colours, as seen on your picture.

[Black Watch 1745]

Sounds good although remember some regiments do just have the coat of arms of their honorary colonel on them. The King's Lifeguard is definitely mentioned as having the royal coat of arms on all their drums (the drums were also the same dark red as their uniforms from what I read) whilst Manchester's Regiment seems to have had light blue drums with the Earls coat of arms on them.

(I am aware this is probably the third time I have linked this picture!)
  Still it is looking good.

(Just posting this here for fun really)

This is actually turning into something nice. Oo

[Black Watch 1745]

I am certainly looking forward to this mod being released. The uniforms look great and it does seem there is some interest in this mod. Even if we don't get the numbers that play regular Napoleonic I hope it will be popular.
  By the way Pro_Dazzer, could we get a look at some of the drum designs you have done? I think doing the flags does make sense for most of the regiments (just those two or three I have already listed, King's Lifeguard, Prince Rupert's, Earl of Manchester's and possibly the Earl of Essex's should have the coat of arms of their respective namesakes).
