:niark: :niark: Hi
I have started putting together OOB info (in table format) and graphics resources for the Egyptian Campaign 1798 – 1801. I would like to do artwork for each and every infantry and cavalry unit down to Regimental level. However after Napoleon left Egypt the French army there changed over to different uniform and facing colours for each regiment.

Would the game be able to cope with units changing there graphic in the middle of the game or would you need to do tow scenarios one before Napoleon left and one after ?

Many thanks
Ian

No the engine would allow that perfectly...it's already in the game but you shall see that only in the Spanish Campaign, the sole scenario long enough to visualize this (for Spanish units) :indien:

phillipe, the main issue with the french units uniforms is that there were multitude of differents uniforme even in a same class of troops (line infantry regiments wore different uniforms). Not even to talk about special troops such as the regiment of dromadaires (camel troops). This campaign will need a little bit more modding than other in the period I guess.
