Development.

Beautiful work as usual! Just a small question. For all the rifles that have exterior hammers. Will there be an animation where the hammer strikes the rifle?
I always got a bit annoyed about that in N&S. Anyway, it's just a small detail.

Nope, but only because the hammers are obsolete, usually breech loaders converted from caplock rifles, with the firing pin internal. I don't know why they didn't take them off you'd think it would be in the way.

I'm pretty sure this guy is using the hammer :/

Hmm that's true, but i know that some of them don't use the hammer at all. I'll have to find out which do and don't then.

Yeah, don't feel forced to do it. It's just a nice detail that wasn't in N&S.

Also is the US infantry going to be set on Random for Headgear? Switching between the Campaign hat and a Kepi? What uniform did you base the US infantry off of?

They only get the slouch hat, i think they stopped wearing Kepis. It's based off an image in Osprey which labels it US infantry in the American Indian wars.

Huh, the Americans really have bad taste when it comes to headgear it seems. Even their current helmets look silly, much prefer the British ones.

Very nice.

The history of American uniforms was know for it's lack of decoration and 'taste', leaning more towards practical use.

Still, they could have made a bit more of an effort with their hats.

To be fair to them, they did just have a civil war that split the nation. And the North spent the fortune they could afford to spend to defeat the South and was now paying for the reconstruction.

Also America didn't have a global empire to invest in fancy dress uniforms for their military. It wasn't until after the Spanish American war that we gained most of our territories, which is taking place after the mod.
But I do like the Dress Uniform for the US


Especially the Infantry with the spike on top of the helmet.

Why did you skimp on the Austrian unit? The whole point of the Austrians is the incredible and colorful uniform and the awesome kepi. Don't mistake what I am saying as pissed off or anything, I just genuinely don't understand why you used a freaking overcoat on them...  greatcoat should have gone on the Russians.

However, the units are very cool, and I really like the Ottoman unit.

Can I see a picture of the Austrian Uniform you expected?

How will taunts work with the multiple nation faction?
