Fleets look nice

The darker blue is better in game than it shows on the screenshot, I'm enjoying getting back into the swing of creating new art,it gives me a break from what needs done, in altering all the scripts that need to be changed,so that the Napoleonic era comes to life in game,there is a huge amount of stuff to do,but I'm getting there daily.

Sir John Acton, a French-born English baronet, was Prime Minister of Naples and you might find these of use:

Unit morale used to be increased by Researching Infantry Warfare etc, Infantry Warfare,Cavalry Warfare,Artillery Warfare,Siege Warfare and Naval Warfare all now give a 5% Loss Evasion bonus while defending!

I like the original counters better myself. They are more 3D and have some depth to them. I love the colored ship counter. Very cool mod.

I have just checked and Prussia should be Dark Navy Blue or Black uniforms as off 1806 or when they joined the Allies.

I simply did choose grey to be same as AH war and peace.

On other hand I would consider Prussian Blue. (but maybe already too many "blues" with French and USA).
The Black uniforms were used only by the Brunswickers, wich were a really tiny part of Prussia Army whatever the period (1806-1813-1815)
