What practical functions will the IRC medics have in their repertoire, and what's to stop bots or other players from killing them?

They will be able to heal players. In my rules it would be an offense to knowingly kill them but event organisers can have any rules they like.  Bots will just slaughter them unfortunately. People don't have bots in events though anyway.

Looks like their role is set, will they ever be able to defend themselves effectively?

Oh, and I'm a major history buff on this period of time so, another partial reason

Sure you are.

After release, will you consider perhaps adding the Austrian and Danish factions from the previous wars of German unification as future content?

 

[Temuzu]

Was the Danish army even something worth talking about back then?

 

[Slawtering]

Has it ever been worth talking about?

Who cares. It'll be something different. Plus the Austrian uniforms of this era look pretty nice too.

Theyre unarmed, they're international units obliged to help any suffering soldier of any team, the first Geneva convention was 4 years before the war.

No, they used muzzle loading muskets, no one wants to be targets for prussian target practice.

A sadly reasonable answer.

Another update, mostly things discussed the last few days.

This is the second Prussian line infantry, they're wearing their greatcoats because it looks cool and makes them look different from the other line infantry.

Spoiler

Prussian Garde Schutzen battalion, they're light infantry, sort of like Jagers except they're not. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garde-Sch%C3%BCtzen-Bataillon

Spoiler

Prussian "see-soldat" Marines

Spoiler

French Marines, the Blue division.

I like that a lot, add a few more pictures and i think i'll definitely use it.

At last! So much better than Taleworld's, I use them in every mod I can (even ported them to M&B vanilla's 1866).

I like the Prussian greatcoats, definitely putting fear into the hearts of the French!

Interesting video.
When not wearing overcoats though, Austrian uniforms were spiffy. Also, their Cuirassiers were freakin' badass.

 

[Temuzu]

Yeah, I was thinking about that, maybe the Austrians are supreme on everything but line infantry? For example the cavarly.

Then again, I dont think you can have two reloading animations for the muskets, which is a shame.

 

[Captured Joe]

Well, you can have different animations for pistols and muskets, so why not for pistols, muskets and needleguns?

 

[Temuzu]

Hardcoded, I believe. Have you ever seen a mod with more than two types of muskets? Dont think so.

 

[Omega_007]

Unless you make two types, one as a musket and the other as a crossbow.

I know that NW used the crossbow template, Europe 1805 II the musket.

Because the musket anim's one-handed, make the bolt-action rifles them and the crossbows muzzle-loaders.
