New screenshot: uniforms!

[arsan]

Well I have learned something today and thus the day is well spent.

+1
Well i actually learned two things: about Godwin law ("reductio ad Hitlerum" interesting!!:wacko and about the Godwin Awards of the Calgary University (thanks google!)

[Sol Invictus]

Hey you are correct! It was a twofer.

[TiFlo]

Great uniforms, gpepper!

[gpepper]

want more ?

[Carnium]

Sweet

[Sol Invictus]

Grenzers and Highlanders! Keep cranking them out as quickly as humanly possible. Throw in a few map shots as well. While your at it show some shots of the Options you can choose such as Recruitment, Diplomatic Efforts, and such. Oh and throw in the Victory Conditions screen. It seems like a reasonable request.

[TiFlo]

That Highlander made my day

Although there is no sword hanging from the belt, and the tartan should be attached over one of the shoulders. Bah, I'm just nitpicking, great design and great details!

[Florent]

I would like to see a Typical British Grenadier for the next figurines. and French or Russians troops.

[arsan]

I wanna see some spanish troops!
What?? so there aren't any in game??

[Sol Invictus]

No troops for you arsan. Maybe when AGEOD gets around to the War of the Spanish Succession. Maybe you will get a Diplomatic Option that involves Spain.

[tagwyn]

ya'll cute little guys playing with your pretty little unis? How is this great game going to work? I will buy the game if it is more than a bunch of barbie clones. t

[Sol Invictus]

We are all secure enough in our robust manhood that we fear no abuse from gushing over our barbie doll soldiers.

[gpepper]

French on their way...

Sorry Arsan... No Spanish guys...

[Sol Invictus]

En Avant!

[gpepper]

again:

[Sol Invictus]

I can't wait to throw these guys into each other!

[Florent]

Can you tell us what is represented Gpepper ? They are not all french ?
The Dragoon is of course French as is heavy cavalry but the cap is very strange the Hussar is well... a Hussar, the first infantryman is taken from an osprey showing a frei Prussian battalion...but you change the colour nevertheless it doesn't look french for the uniform so i don't know what army is represented here, the next one is French with typical cut for the uniform (soldiers were better protected against winter as seen by the possibility to close completely the uniform) but i don't know why but it looks like a 1720-1730 soldiers because the lower part of the uniform is "detached" (détaché).
The next one is a german state Grenadier (with or against France) with Prussian fashion, the next is again a frei Prussian Btn, i pass for the cavalrymen and the last one seems to be a Russian Grenadier made like the Hanovrian with a Prussian one and...a change of colour very good for... post Seven years war when Tsar peter prussianized the russian Army.
Nevertheless you did an EXCELLENT job in putting a cartridge box in front to help accept that he looks Russian after all .
Now i'm waited especially for the British Grenadiers, hoping that you represented them correctly with their typical uniform and mitres.
They had been badly treated in BoA/WiA(only 1770-1780 Grenadiers and not 7YW), i hope that this time it will be not the case.

[Sol Invictus]

I wonder why all of the Dragoons have a bayonet fixed to their carbine. Did they even carry a bayonet? I am fairly sure that they didn't. That first Cavalryman's cap looks like a Horse Grenadier's but I don't think they wore a cuirass.

[Florent]

The Dragoons were infantrymen on horse especially for France, i'm not sure for other country. French Dragoons had a bayonet for sure in 1798 in Egypt and i think they had one in 7YW.
Training as a cavalryman was reinforced in the 1765 and 1766 orderlies.
They had also the bayonet in the 1762 and since they were infantrymen moving on horse...
At Fontenoy the French dragoons left their horses to fight on foot on the flanks of the British attack if i remember correctly.
For the other countries i don't know...

[gpepper]

I am sorry guys but do you think we will see any bayonet when de unit will be 85 pix in the game ?
You were right, we can say that only infantery can have bayonets, I mean all the army with no horse...

[TiFlo]

the next one is French with typical cut for the uniform (soldiers were better protected against winter as seen by the possibility to close completely the uniform) but i don't know why but it looks like a 1720-1730 soldiers because the lower part of the uniform is "detached" (détaché).

For what I know, French and British soldiers alike would wear their coat either fully buttoned or opened for the upper part, as well as for the lower part, depending on the weather. So having the coat hanging like that in the Seven Years war era wasn't uncommon.

In the previous games, wasn't there always was a large and a small picture? A small one for the stack and a larger one for the unit detail window? And, haven't you actually some control over that? I would find it rather pointless to paint these great hires graphics and then rescale with too much loss.

Gpepper I really appreciate your style. I guess that was what already impressed me about the WiA map, but those new units are looking even better than that!

Even if the unit is bigger in the unit card and in the detail unit window, it still a small picture. We don't see the bayonet that much...

Thanks a lot ! I have to say that I am pretty proud of my work for ROP. But you will see the result very soon !

[Sol Invictus]

All of this "very soon" and "shortly" talk that is suddenly being tossed around this forum by people who should have definite inside information is starting to make me giddy. I guess now we need to define "very soon and "shortly".

[gpepper]

you are right, I understand it drives you crazy !
I have less than 1 month of work to finish graphics so we can imagine a release in august...

[Sol Invictus]

An August release would be excellent.

[gpepper]

Some 3D Units:

For the record, it is also quite possible to imagine other release dates; nothing has been decided yet, not even internally

(Graphics are "just" one of many components in the game; even if Gilles' work is complete, there are other things that need to be in order too )

You are right, I am not "the game" !

[Rafiki]

You're an important part of it, though
