My personal mod ;)

Well i'm trying to do a "historical mod", not EIA, not EIH. I advance it's another type of EIH game with different balance. The main goal is that it will be funny and challenging 
This mod will try to mimic the same historic conditions:
- Real infantry forces.
- Real diplomatic status
- All corps.
This implies many things (i have the data collected), but the major changes it will imply (trying to code) is:
- Turkey is the same as Ottoman Empire. So no ottoman empire kingdom. All northern africa (except morocco) is turkey home provinces (eyalets). That's is the real status.
- Nearly All countries have artillery. Even minors. And nearly all minors have some kind of corps.
- Same for guard. Expect Two guard corps for france (old guard and young guard
)
- Some countries will have bigger armies. Specially Austria and Spain at start or Poland if formed.
.. more generals, more fun..
well, it's a hobbyist scenario. Don't expect me be a great designer, only i will try to do my best
I have a BIG doubt for making infantry men to Infantry factors in EIA.
How MANY MEN was an infantry factor? I have seen 2000 men in some the General and EIH 4.0 and 5.1 docs, but in the same docs, 3000 men. Same for cavalry.
Quality of the troops is morale. I am trying to make a "rule" and maintain these.
For example KGL has 14000 men with a peak of 28000 men. If i use the 2000 men rule, KGL will have 14 factors.
On the other hand, Nappy to Russia send nearly 770000 men and 45-550000 of these were french... so a peak france with 2000men per factor will have at least the ability to deploy in corps 275 IF -> it has only 215 ). Game corps seems to have taken 2000 for some calculations and 3000 for others...
