Age of Blackpowder: Scandinavia (under devolopment)
« on: September 23, 2009, 09:18:57 pm »
Hello everyone. As I promised you guys. There should be three expansions. One should be of the war between The Ottomans and The Austrians. One should be of napoleons campaign in eqypt. And one. This one should be of the Great Northern War and the Scandinavian struggle.

Come here. I'll tell you a story. The year is 1703. A great city called St. Petersburg has just been founded. And the pride of the Russian are now more than ever.
This is a time of war my son. A time of greatness and power. There where a war between two nations. The Tsardom of Russia. And the Kingdom of Svea.
And still if the war between the Sweds and the Danes was long gone. Did the hatred and the suspisions still live the air.
Denmark still held the land of Norway. Which could be a presiouse piece of land for the Sweds.
Though. Sweden couln't capture Norway. Since that could jeperdice the ownership of Finland.
And Finland would be a nice target for the Russian to capture.

So my son. If you could change history. If you could be the man. Who could give the opportunity to start another front.
To be the man. Who could conquer Norway in Swedens name. Or maybe lure the Sweds to capture Norway and thereby take Finland from them in the Russians name.
Or maybe flush the Swedish troops out of sweden to conquer Russia and thereby stab the sweds in the back at their own home country in the name of the Danes.
If you could do all this. What would you do? What could you manage to do? What would you be willing to do?

Would you be the conquerer of Scandinavia?

Have you fired him? He has a sterling reputation of finishing mods. I'm offering myself as researcher and a tacky retexturer for any of Dain Ironfoot's Meshes from the OSP Uniform pack. And I can simply edit the OSP hats if you want. I've removed the mask from the tricorne and extended the Hanover hat to a skirmisher's hat.

Noticed the mention of Formations.
Are you planning to implement the Form Ranks Mod? Hope so as it would seem to really suit this mods era.

Edit: once again, a little more effort on my part would have revealed the further mention of Fire by Rank. Please just ignore me.

Show your work! I am glad to have you here!

I'll contribute in doing some uniform texturing + editing troops and weapons with the troop/item editors... Tell me and I'll do it! :D Nice uniform for the Danish!

What do you guys think so far....


Good news, I've been hoping for this to get started quite a long time..

A little suggestions for my side would be making the danish marines the strenght of denmark, and making their regular infantry normal or weak.. The danish pride have always been its skilled sailors (well, at this time we could thanks Norway for that) and its fleet..

I might have overseen it but I couldn't find any "new map" feature.. Are you planning this? I think Naglfaar have made an OSP scandinavia map you could use..

Btw. I started on the first soldier.. He is not done yet. But his uniform and boots are...
This is the Danish Landsoldat...

Are you going to be make the names of the troops in their national language? ("Landsoldat" instead of "Infantry" as an example)..

Good luck with this, I can't help because I'm busy on Europe 1200, but if it comes I'll try it out for certain..

Well I just managed to edit the grenadier hat to be more like a Mitre cap. Currently it has a shoddy texture, but it'll get better.

I just noticed your factions list. Poland is definitely a good one to have. Saxony was technically the power that dragged Poland into the war, so they could be an option as well.

Bjorne, there's this film, Sluga Gosudarev (it's Russian) it is set in the Great Northern War, and at the end, the battle of Poltava is featured.

But I advise everyone to be careful with that film. It's basically a Russian version of the Patriot. 2 people manage to own a Swedish patrol of like 30 men, and then, some Russian Peasant Women with pitchforks manage to kill them. Also, it's inaccurate. It shows a scene of a Swede Soldier shooting a Russian Woman and burning down Russian Villages. Swedish troops would get hanged if they did that in real life. Also, it shows Swedes firing a volley, and only killing 7 Russians, but when the Russians fire back, it shows like 50 Swedes falling to the ground.
