Hmm. I am afraid that is a problem which is basically generated with a red background. Depending on the color settings of the monitor, everything may look a bit blurry. But the presentation of the screenshot is slightly changed by image compression. I also notice this with my naval units. They look a bit more "crisp" in the game.

Just consider as a draft so far I still have many picture contrast/ligtness to adjust I use blackwatch rgt as Guard/elite. At first I was thinking to use 1st foot guard as elite but the distinction with the line is not so obvious.

SIPRES -> RE: The Rise and Fall Of An Empire! (1/30/2017 4:50:44 PM)
Anybody got the following image or link: - British line Infantry in forage cap (I actually use KGL unit for Guarnison/Rgt unit with forage cap, but I dont like so much the rendering) - British royal engineer/Sapeur - British militia troop (I think same uniform as the Line, but I need something to differentiate, maybe greycoat?)

BTW weren't some of the British Cavalry uniforms blue, at least for the light cavalry?

Do not make it too hard for an average user like me, guys. In the end, someone else thinks that a French would be on a British counter...[:D]

I see this Mod got a mention on the front page of the Matrix Games website! See: http://www.matrixgames.com/news/2141/Strategic.Command.goes.Napoleonic! Well done!

Qwixt -> RE: The Rise and Fall Of An Empire! (1/31/2017 2:26:19 PM)
I just wanted to say "Nice job!" to the creator. Appreciate the effort. When work dies down in a few weeks (months? [:(]) I will give it a try.

Cataphract88 -> RE: The Rise and Fall Of An Empire! (1/31/2017 4:20:40 PM)
Congratulations on getting the front page! [sm=character0272.gif]

I really like these, but I feel as they are, they detract from the other information on the counters. Could they be made less 'obvious' and more in the background perhaps? That aside, great work gents [&o]

sad ham -> RE: The Rise and Fall Of An Empire! (1/31/2017 7:44:15 PM)
Why this counter has the same colour for most of the countries?

Very cool that this mod and all the hard work you have all done has been recognized by Matrix. [8D] Keep up the great work!

[8D] No - pink strapping is not good [;)] As someone said, the varied uniforms are one of the reasons that this time period is so wonderful to wargame. I love the fact that you have different counters to distinguish between Scottish and English. One question: What scale are the cavalry counters? I assume the numerals for the infantry are brigade, division, corps etc. What about the cavalry? Personally I can't wait to go into battle with the 2nd (Union) Cavalry Brigade.... the English (Royal) Regiment of Dragoons, the Royal Scots Greys and the Irish 6th (Inniskilling) Dragoons.... I've gone weak at the knees just thinking about it [:D]. ....and as for HM Ships Victory, Temeraire, Royal Sovereign and co......[&o]

SIPRES -> RE: The Rise and Fall Of An Empire! (1/31/2017 9:24:43 PM)
The 3 Cavalry counters are more cavalry types than "sized" I think size could be Brigade or division, it will be up to Kirk wich is the campaign designer from top to bottom on image Light Cavalry (Hussards, Chasseurs, chevau leger ect....) I did symbolize by a "Sabretache icon" for quicker identification Line Cavalry (Dragoons) I did symbolize by nothing so far (still under thinking, maybe a cartridge pouch or giberne, will see) Heavy Cavalry (Cuirassier, Carabinier, Heavy Dragoons) I did symbolize by a "Breast Plate icon" for quicker identification.

sad ham -> RE: The Rise and Fall Of An Empire! (1/31/2017 9:39:03 PM)
I see you have differentiated the uniforms between french, british and other countries (Prussia, Austria, Spain, Usa, that have all the similar uniform and it would be good), but why do not differentiate for the ottomans too?

SIPRES -> RE: The Rise and Fall Of An Empire! (1/31/2017 10:23:22 PM)
I will differentiate all 8 Majors nations uniforms, its simply a draft in progress

TheBattlefield -> RE: The Rise and Fall Of An Empire! (1/31/2017 10:38:43 PM)
As SIPRES had already pointed out, our work is still at such an early stage that many ideas, plans and designs have been partially modified or even completely removed for various reasons. This is a normal development process. Many things, which are presented here, are still pure worksheets which we gladly show from time to time. Have some patience with three ambitious amateurs. [8D]

sad ham -> RE: The Rise and Fall Of An Empire! (2/2/2017 4:29:37 PM)
In my opinion fleets should be square counters similar to the army counters. It would be more homogeneous and (always in my opinion) more elegant.
