Features Thread - Winds of War: Blood and Steel - 1870 mod for Mount & Blade: Warband

Feature suggestions go here.

I remember playing a US Civil War multiplayer mod for Warband (maybe based on Napoleonic Wars?) which had a feature where bayonets could be affixed to and removed from long-arms in battle by pressing a hotkey (pretty sure it was the X key). It would be a handy feature here, I think!

I saw there was some debate over using traditional for scaling or a revamped system - I ask, why not both? Destructible walls (or portions of walls, and gates - explosives are your friend in siege scenarios!) can open additional entry points for troops to support the men attempting to take the high ground of the battlements, which then make a great shooting platform to help secure the courtyards. I'm a fan of getting into melee fights with bayonets and sabers in other games, so using them to fight for control of advantageous positions (in this case,the walls) in a big old brawl isn't a bad thing to me. The edged weapons issued to troops in this period existed for that very reason, after all.

Female uniforms. Just, female uniforms. I don't typically play as a female character, mostly because I have more badass names in mind for male characters than for female ones; but when I do, I really like having clothing options outside of the vanilla Warband's dresses. It also makes clothing female companion characters easier. I know female soldiers were incredibly uncommon in Victorian times, but they DID exist. Plus, Victorian noblewomen frequently had custom outfits styled after uniforms of prestigious regiments or divisions, though their custom outfits typically replaced the trousers with long skirts. I know modeling takes a lot of time, so I won't try to demand that every uniform be unisex, but having one or two per faction would be nice.

That's all I can think of for now
