Please bring back Blackadder, in honour of the madness that was the Olympics Opening ceremony.

The bèta-testers really need to keep an eye on this too ingame. I have currently 16 companions. On my own I have added Berthout as companion. A form of crediting to this awesome mod leader.
He is expensive though  .

So tell me which companions did vII have?

- Blackadder
- Bjorne
- (...)

You mean, v1?
What I can remember:
-Poniatowski
-Matthews (from Hornblower)
-Patrick Harper (from Sharpe)
-Andreas Hofer
-Roustam (Napoleon's Mameluke bodyguard)
-Robert Darwin
-Percy Blakely
And maybe someone else I forgot.

And there were some native companions still there: Klethi, Lezalit, Firentis, Matheld and Katrin I believe.

I have been following this topic with interest, and I have to say I'm impressed with the amount of features, however I want to do a bit of constructive criticism. As a napoleonic period fan, I think that the troops are too generic. What do I mean by generic you might ask?
Looking at the screenshots, the troops seem to be things like "French Conscript", "French Fusilier", "French Voltigeur", basically a nation prefix and a troop type. If you compare this to the mod 1812-1815, you will see that, for example, for french line infantry it goes like this:
13e rgt Fusiliers de Ligne -> 21 Rgt Fusiliers de Ligne -> 4 Rgt Grenadiers de Ligne -> 2e Tiralleurs de la Jeune Garde -> 3e Flanquer-Grenadier jeune Garde or 2e Grenadier de la Garde

I don't know what other think about this, but in my opinion a more detailed troop tree is better (Altought it's also a lot more of work)

Hello! Welcome to this topic  .

Thank you for your feedback. Yes I know, the troops are a bit generic. But do you know we have more than 21 factions. And over 100 types of uniforms. If I use the system of 1812-1815 I have to add more uniforms probably.
Also not everyone is a Napoleon period fan. This means that the troops trees must be generic and not too detailed. More than 9/10 of all people don't even know the difference between voltigeur and fusilier or hussar and cuirassiers.

Hell no, that: "13e rgt Fusiliers de Ligne -> 21 Rgt Fusiliers de Ligne" is not going to be happen in my mod.

Anyway thank you for your suggestion! Constructive criticism is always welcome  .

I see you point, and as you said, you would have to add a ton of stuff.Maybe if you used detailed troop trees people would be confused and would habe to learn more about the period in order to play

Funny little Easter Egg if Blackadder comes back and is in your party, have Baldrick turn up as a NPC in your houses Kitchen and try and convince him to give up his massive Turnip so you got something to feed your men with for a month.

Bubu!!    (more of a non serious joke after that olympic ceremony where British cameraman didn't find our president  )

You, basterds!

Got two question one will different social classes come dffierent perk or disadvanges, two are the mayor of town elected or appointed by there king?

The nobility have the right the bear a banner and have titles.
You should see the social classes as a reward .

The mayor of the town is appointed by king after the town is conquered. Like native system.
There is no such thing as an election.

Do you have the dialogs of the Companions of version 1? Some were really awesome!
(If you haven't the dialogs, I can copy them and post or PM them.)

Same question here

Update: Statues

* Your government can build a statue in honour of you in a random town of your faction
* The statue type depends on your renown
* There are different kinds of statues (wood, stone, marble & bronze)
* The statue is visible when walking on the boulevard

[Evil Cereal]

Great, now I can admire myself even more! 

 

[Captured Joe]

Did you make a Boulevard scene?!?

Anyway, this is great!

Uahahahahaha

I was expecting something about formations but this is still a pleasant surprise!

 

[SirAlbert]

I've checked the pictures of the factions that can emerge by rebellion, and I've to tell you that....Yep,the spanish flag is wrong 

Thats the flag of the Spanish II Republic (1931-1939), the flag of the Spanish I Republic (1873-1874) would fit better. Its just the same flag of the napoleonic era but without the crown.
Here the flag:

This was the flag of the Spanish I Republic

 

[Quintillius]

Update: Extend your victory a lot more

* After you conquered a town you have some options
* Liberate - give the town back to the original faction and increase prestige and
  relations.
* Peacefully occupy - receive some prestige.
* Loot it - kill 1/3 of the total population in order to get money!
* Keep a victory march - march past the Arc while your soldiers follow you



* Replaced street fighting scene by a better one

The formations kit of version I has been implemented again succesfully =D!

Why do people never read previous posts ._. ?

 

[Agovic]

Erm...... What do you mean give back to the original faction? Like the French take Berlin than I take it and give it to the Prussians?
