I love those books! I actually use the series when I paint my tank and helicopter modelsAye, I use reference as a blanket term for anything depicting, or sometimes describing, the uniform and attires. As an artist it's a bit easier to work from visual guides
Sources like Ospreys Men-At-Arms series have been used to help guide the design of many units. (Arguably a book, but with pictures!)
@Carlberg , I found some very promising books about the hungarian army. I'll try get them Can I upload the pictures here later?
Can I upload the pictures here later?
I can help a little bit for Serbia and Montenegro.
or 
And every other internet source about medieval Serbian army shows only hardcore heavy armored knight (Of course they were probably in minority, but used as elite fighters). There are no other more recognizable units than these.
and
- Or Austro-Hungary irregulars. After fall of Serbia people started to migrate north in Hungary mostly, and they get rights to form irregular units to protect border:
Formed around 15 century. Light infantry with those hoodies.
Formed in later years from pandurs
And frajkors, also frontier fighters.
*For Montenegro: their independence was relative. They lived in tribal society, didn't have uniformed army, they also formed Hajduk and Uskok units. So same like Serbia with different color, and maybe some different details...
For aesthetics.
These are mostly uniforms from first and second Serbian uprisings (1804, 1815). My idea was to make for third level this revolutionary uniforms, and for the fourth level uniforms from Principality of Serbia (it's won't fit into game timeline, because Principality existed after... but until then Serbia actually didn't have organised army, and there is no other material for some other models. Only some improvised, for example to use some similar uniforms for that period like Austria or Russia or mix of those two, because of the influence of these countries they had or they would probably have if Serbia existed as sovereign country in game timeline)
- Montenegro
For Montenegro is easier, these uniforms were used for very long time, and it could be used in different variation for last two levels.
First picture - regular infantry uniform used in 1845. On second - two officers from same years. Third - some guardsmen. Fourth is horseman of Milos Obrenovic (Ruler) guard in 1835. And fifth is drummer uniform. It's not ideal but that's only my suggestion.
- Montenegro -
Little modernized version of previous level would be this one:
Hope I helped a little bit....
- For first level of models for both countries can be similar, in different variation of colors. Both used heavy armored knights like:

- For second level: Serbia was under Ottomans, and there is a problem...

- Third: Here we find some differences

Now that we know the focus of the next Immersion Pack, I wonder if we will see some of these:
I have no doubt in my mind, especially considering they have a Scot leading the project
we will see some of these:
Do you know how much I want to see my men of the kilt sieging London. SO MUCH.
