I have the same problem.

Does anyone know if this mod is still alive?

The way I would imagine going about it would be to have the new line infantry be a different unit from the older the line infantry and have them require the technology to be recruited. If it's skinwork you're talking about then I understand what you're talking about. Skinning takes a lot of time that could be better spent on AI improvements.

*edit* Would it be possible to take some skins from Fall of the Samurai and repurpose them for Empire? It has some superb skins that would work great with some minor tweaking. I think there are tools to help fit them to new skeletons.

I haven't been at home lately so I haven't had a chance to download the latest version on my gaming computer, but I noticed that you added modern rifle as a new technology. When this is researched, do you plan on changing line infantry uniforms or adding new pattern line infantry after it is researched? For instance, this is what an American soldier looked like during the revolution (http://blog.eogn.com/.a/6a00d8341c767353ef011570bc47d8970c-120wi), and this is an American soldier during the civil war when most troops were using rifles.

Just wanted to add that the British acts of union were in 1707, so in a game starting in 1700, Scotland would technically be independent.

One more quick question, do dlc units stay in the mod, or are they removed?

Do you plan on adding more to the Indian/Middle Eastern factions? The Mughals, Afghans,and Persians have a poor unit roster in the early game compared to their nearby rivals. The Mughals especially need this now that they have to also contend with Britain, and sometimes France when they're not immediately knocked out of India by the British. Maybe you could expand on the Zamindar system? Zamindar archers or musketeers would be especially useful since, for the most part, you have to rely on Bhumiya Bowmen and Tufangis for the ranged component of your armies in the early game.
