Thanks,

Here is a slight graphic rework of units for France and Russia (I think its now quite close to the final version)
Any comments are welcomed as usual.

I like the artwork a lot. But some of it can be hard to see. I would suggest a darker background around the images - much like the Marine unit with the dark blue circle behind the anchor.
The ships are awesome looking

Can't wait for this mod!

Looking Good !

I'd like to see another Matrix product fusion effort using this mod .... in the same approach as Field of Glory : Empires ...

What should it be called ?


Empires in Arms - Sipres' Fury ?

Strategic Command - Europe in Arms ?

Fury of Empires - Strategic Command ?

Would there be a need for the XXX Corps Infantry units?
I would reckon that the Corps formations would be represented by HQ's and the fighting units would consist of Brigades and Divisions.

The HQ units got only defense capabilities (you cant change the attack parameters in editor)
So the core unit for the Mod will be infantry corps, some divisions and brigades will still be available to strengthen the OOB's and to reflect some special units.

Sipres, I love these land units! They look very elegant and therefore fit perfectly with the Napoleonic scenario.

Only one small note: The symbol for the garrison, in contrast to all other signs, looks a little bit set. Have you ever tried to make the center of the stylized fort in the respective counter color, in the basic color of the bright crosswise stripes or in total dark?

Surely only a matter of personal preference: The presentation of the maritime units in your Hi-Res mod is fantastic. Something comparable would probably match very well with the bright stripes of the land units. Your current "countercut" may result in a bit too much "3D" unit. Just a thought...

Thanks Konstantin, I may change navies to Hex shape, will see
Any suggest for an icon I could add instead of the "militia" text?

I would just keep it simple and plausible. The crossed pistols with the "P" are partisans, so crossed pistols with some (more) darkened/transparent stripes behind them may represent the militia. In both cases, armed civilians rather than line soldiers. The partisans behind and the militia in the back room in front of the enemy lines...

So the entire French 1805 OOB would consist of 7 Infantry Corps, Napoleon HQ and a few other units.

Here is the OOB for France in september 1805
As you mention the "Grande Armée" consist of 7 Infantry corps + Imperial Guard + Army of Italy (Massena) and Naples (Gouvion St Cyr)
There is also the allied troops (Italians, Bavarians, Dutch, Wurtemberger ect...)
Most of the action "might" took place in Bavaria, Bohemia, and North Italy. So if you intend to lower the unit scale (eg Division as core unit), I am afraid some map area would be overcrowded and I think this will affect gameplay.

Thank you for all your hard work. Everything you have said, and shown us, looks great.

[Simulacra53]

Incredible work - such a complete game changing mod is great to start with, but it is also visually beautiful game.

Indeed looking forward to any kind of version of this mod - alpha - beta - full - as much as a regular game release.

Needs to be repeated again and again, thanks for all the effort you are putting into this!

Love the counters, reminds me of the ‘70’s board game by SPI Wellington’s Victory.

[demyansk]

Is this mod ready to go? Plus, install in Steam, anything special to place?
Nice work

[SIPRES]

Thanks all

Mod is still alive and on going work, I am currently really busy and on business trip(s) since 3 months.
I will have more free time to focus on the mod very soon.

A bientot

Oh, isn't Keenan helping you anymore? [8|]

[havoc1371]

Brilliant. Big fan of Napoleonic's. Can't wait.

[mdswift]

I am very very interested in this project. The scope of the project is massive and I wish you all the best in your endeavor. I would be more than happy, an in fact eager, to purchase a Napoleonic era game utilizing a game engine like SC3.

[Emporer]

Hi
This mod look very interesting. Will it be ready for download or have the work been halted or stopped?
I would really want to play this if it's going to finished.
Keep up the good work.

Cheers

[Aloysius]

Hey! Very interested in this mod. Was wondering if it's still in the works.

Are there any download links?
