Hiya everyone, are you going to update the front post with the free Major Evangelical Unit Pack?

Well first the Catholic Majors Unit Pack, since that's the one that actually got released. And then, yes, EVANGELICAL UNIT PACK BABY!
Can I have it? Can I? Can I? Can I receive the secret code that I can dial telephoncically to unlock the Evangelical Unit Pack? Can I? Can I have it...????????

Evangelical majors *insert Kappa here*
I would assume Sweden and France at least.
LOL! The Ottomans and Kazan just joined the Protestant League in my current game, probably as a counter to the PLC, which is strong in my game
as said below, holiday break. but its also possible they wont release it before they get the evangelic majors pack out as well anyway.
Hope they release the Evangelic Majors DLC pack soon...

So I've finally established that I do indeed possess the Catholic Majors Unit Pack which was gifted to me by paradox under the very confusing name of the Evangelical Majors Unit Pack and gives unit models to Poland, Austria and Castile at least there maybe another one that I haven't tracked down. Been watching DDRjake's Bad Ideas Guy play through and Sweden's (what I'm assuming are) Evangelical Major Unit Model looks really cool and I want it, happy to pay, where can I get it or if its not out when can I have it?

It's not out yet, so the question indeed is: When will it become available. I am looking forward to it too.

Evangelical Majors Pack looks like it'll be Sweden, Prussia, and hopefully France.
It's Sweden, Branden/Prussia, and France. France's Tier4s look different in the last episode of DDR's 'Bad Ideas Guy'. Didn't get a good look at them, but they are definitely different. Down side is they didn't look like Napoleanic Fusiliers, but rather early Revolutionary ones w/bicornes. Kind of a bummer, I was hoping something similar to Napolean: Total War's troops. But, like I said, I didn't get a good look at them.
That being said, I hope they don't wait until 1.16 to release. Kind of sucks it has been ready since November and still no release
Paradox, I want to give you my money, please let me!- 3
Meaning what? Have you seen renders of them elsewhere? I saw the Tier 1 for Sweden and I loved it, but I couldn't get a good look at any of Prussia/Branden
Meaning DDRJake has the pack and the Tier 4 French sprites look different than the standard tier 4 western sprites. There are no renders of any of them or Catholic Majors.
Does France not really have tier 4 sprites yet? I always felt like they did.
Prussia and Sweden make sense, I was kind of hoping to see Denmark get some but to be honest France is still nice. (If they don't already have tier 4 that is)

As of right now, France only has Tier 1 and 2. 3 and 4 still use standard sprites. Really hope that French4s look like Fusiliers from Nap:TW or Mount and Blade: Napoleanic.
Hopefully something like this, but with a blue pom instead of the large plume.

Let me begin by saying I can’t thank the paradox team enough for this fantastic game. EUIV has overtime matured into something beyond my wildest dreams, and I am truly thankful for what you all have done.
This newest Catholic Majors Infantry DLC (although currently discontinued) was a fantastic addition, particularly all the Tier I units, and the impressively awesome Austrian roster (seriously they look bad-ass).
Due to the fact that Catholic Majors DLC has been pulled momentarily due to distribution issues, I would like to ask Paradox to use this opportunity to improve upon two units included in this DLC, namely the Tier III and Tier IV Polish Infantry Sprites.
TIER III POLISH INFANTRY
This representation is very time-period generic, and for a “DLC” unit is underwhelming. The Polish “Saxon” infantry formations of the time-period were far more colorful and splendid. The whole “red-coat” look of the infantrymen looks more like a replacement for generic Western European Infantry Sprites than anything else.
Here are depictions of Saxon-Style Polish Infantry of the time-period (1700-1735)
TIER IV POLISH INFANTRY
I actually had to go into super-search mode to figure out WHERE this model exactly came from, having visited numerous Polish National Museums with extensive historical military expositions, this rang no bells, until I realized that you all were in fact using the headpiece design from the Tier 4 Lithuanian Cavalry Unit.
All of the illustrations above are of Lithuanian divisions from 1792 that served in the Commonwealth. This headgear is clearly Lithuanian, and stands apart from the iconic Polish division headpieces of the same time. The only similarity is the uniform, which after 1788 was dictated to be a dark navy across all formations, Lithuanian or Polish. I suggest keeping the existing Tier IV sprite for the Lithuanian Infantry, and include it into a Unit-Pack for Lithuania in the future.
These images below represent the iconic look of the Polish Infantry of the time-period, the Polish Napoleonic Legions in their dark navy uniforms.
Furthermore, they correlate with the already existing Polish Napoleonic Era Uhlans.
Also, backpacks are a necessity for these guys, the one on the Austrian unit would do nicely.

And although I’m a fan of the dark navy with red, here are some designs of the same uniform in red & white.
In closing;

In closing;
- It'd be fantastic if the Polish Tier III and Tier IV Infantry Sprites could be changed, I think I speak for everyone when I say that I'd gladly pay the price.
- Also keep the current Tier IV Sprite for the Lithuanian Infantry (when the time comes).
- That's all, and as always, thank you for this amazing game Paradox!
