It's well done Paradox!

 

[MateuszNH]

Eh third week without real content

 

[Rule Britannia]

What about the English/British units? I do not understand why you show us the units for all these countries that will only exist briefly and not the units for England and Great Britain.

 

[XYN]

The models look nice, but who, and under what circumstances, will see most of them?

1) AI Irish OPMs near the player will never survive long enough for the player to see them, and if they aren't near the player, the player will not see them either way;
2) Player Irish OPM will rarely stay one of the OPMs instead of forming Ireland.

It seems that even if you play exclusively on the British Isles for hundreds of hours, you will not see all of them in the game.

 

[Ulmo]

Very deep historical research. I appreciate it even though I rarely, if ever, play in Ireland.

 

[Xetfield]

Will there ever be models for cavalry?

You can play an Irish exodus game as one of the Irish states, when you colonise America/Canada before the English destroy you.

The tier 4 welsh and irish (not including the ireland one) are a bit to British considering these will if they are in the game either have broken free of england or remain unconquered. In the case of the irish giving them colour variations of irelands t4 would be a lot better than color variations of englands t4.
And having an British marine for an independent wales is a very lazy choice.

The scottish ones are by far the best ones.

Hey, that's a great idea. I will try that if an Irish playthrough goes wrong.

Never forget the original William the Conqueror and his conquest of england in 40,066 BC

Funnily enough, the first Cro-Magnon arrived in Britain a bit more than 40,000 years ago. It fits.

 

[Xetfield]

Also why some irish minors received only tier 1 unit?

 

[TheDungen]

Kilts should only be on the Highlander (Gaeldom) tag. Please be respectful to Scottish history

Aren't they found on Scottish ceremonial uniforms too?

Good spot.

England and Britiain already habe unique units. Thing they're part of the evangelical majors pack.

 

[Nassau]

Look nice in general, faces are a bit too pale for some of the units.


But Ulster.. No clown army shall ever march in my game. Destroying them, or having them destroyed, would be one of my first objectives!

 

[Battlex]

I don’t think Ireland needed that many different models but oh well.
Can we expect achievement list next week.
And please don’t have 10 forms of ‘be Irish minor and control the worlds supply of clover’

 

[astartes906]

does kildare, sligo, leinster and thomond use the t2, t3 and t4 of ireland or they use the regular ones ?

How do models work if you culture convert
IE Will Albanians in Ireland look like Kerns

 

[nephilim2k]

Why does the Welsh tier 2 unit look like a cowboy?

 

[Emoneh]

Looking good. Will the highlander Scottish nation also use the Scottish units? Any other duplications for e.g. The Isles?

 

[spinoza013]

Once the Highlands were "pacified" the British ( essentially Lowland Scots) government allowed Highland regiments to wear the kilt as they thought it was good PR and increased morale and made it more attractive for young Highland men to fight for the Crown.

Up until the late 18th century the wearing of tartan had been made illegal following clan rebellions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dress_Act_1746

The Lowland Scottish didn't have much love for the Highland culture and a program of ethnic cleansing was in full effect most of the 18th Century up until Sir Walter Scott romanticised the Highlands in his novels and Queen Victoria became a fan.

 

[Thalapeng]

Does the song sound like Scottish yellow submarine to someone else?

I suspect that a player who is willing to do this is going to stay zoomed out all the time and not give a hoot about the unit models (and I think that such shenanigans do not need any support beyond not hardcoding them out), but that may be just me
