The Rise and Fall Of An Empire!

[SIPRES]

I do agree with you.
I just wonder if we use for example "light Tank" as Polish Cav and "Tank" as Bavarian Cavalry for French minors.
The "unit type setting" value cannot be changed, and I wonder if it would affect the gameplay (Tank vs light Tank for same kind of unit) I have seen all stats can be changed but I just think about "Unit type" effect.

Air unit/Carriers/subs are of course unusable and its unfortunately many slots lost for Napoleonics fans.

As you say there are a number off unit slots that cannot be used for a Napoleonic era mod,I don't like anything that is hard coded,a better way to go is have all the slots 100% moddable to anything a modder wants it to be,and just use the various option boxes within the editor to apply all the necessary benefit bonuses that would then apply to the new unit.

I think there are at the present time 49 buildable unit type slots within the editor,and off these 21 can't be used in this Napoleonic Wars mod,because they come with hard coded restrictions.[&:]

Just few more French counters design trial.

Maybe if we use "fighter" unit and change to the following setting it could work as a ground unit?
But I wonder the "fighter type" may allow to move on Sea Hexes!

Thanks battlefield
Much more clearer

I think to add graphics to free slots minors (AXIS and ALLIED)
something like:

German CAV (for all germans states, Bavaria, Saxony ect...)
German INF

Italian CAV (Napolitan , Sardinians, North Italy ....)
Italian INF

Polish CAV (Napolitan , Sardinians, North Italy ....)
Polish INF

Scandic CAV (Denmark + Norway, Sweden + Finland)
Scandic INF

So honestly, folks. It's not a question of uniforms. The core elements of the nations flags are the deciding factor for their counters. Prussia black. Russia green. GB red. France blue a.s.o. [8|]

warspite1

And
Spain = Yellow
Austria = White

But sorry, Prussia should be grey, not black.

Agreed!

There will be a hard coded problem: Planes ignore ground units. So these units would be the "ghosts" of the game. That' s odd.
Tried around I have found another h. c. problem. My idea with a "all in one" army corps out of a artillery unit will not work. Again the hard code: There will be 100% loss evasion (or less) for all attacks. Far and near. Finally there must be a seperate artillery unit. Unrealistic in terms of the map scale, the contemporary warfare and gun technology. But no matter. Gamey also works. [;)]

Hm. Is there any game from the Napoleonic era that grey used as a national color for Prussia? So far I have found only variations of the black/white scheme. But if grey is more beautiful...maybe also pink for Austria? [:D]

Just check post# 14 on same thread

[:(]Computer game...
No matter. Grey is also ok. As an old Prussian player, I was just a bit surprised. [;)]

Perhaps we also need a few contemporary fortresses. SIPRES has a skilled hand...

Will some nations get special units e.g. British Rifle Regiments, Prussian Jaegers and Landwehr etc.? Not saying they should, just curious

Is "Malitia" just a typo for Militia?
