Description
Based on uniform of ensign (flagbearer) of Schwarzenberg regiment in 1670s. This is a work in progress.
''Schwarzenberg'' doesn't sound very Dutch, more like German. Nice model btw
Well the Vinhuizen collection is my source.
Not to mention the similarities between the languages.
That's true, German and Dutch sounds in very much ways almost the same. But i can tell for sure that Schwarzenburg is not a Dutch name. I like the models, i seriously do. But something tells me it ain't dutch.
PS: I am Dutch
The Dutch army was full of German mercenaries at this time Jewoenboy.
The regiment fought at the Battle of Seneffe in 1674.
That new face model looks georgeus
ive already played with them in your mod. btw when do they get bayonets?
The unit is from the 1670s, before the bayonet was adopted. The historical images clearly show at that stage they were not using the bayonet. If you want Dutch units with bayonets keep researching techs and upgrading buildings. I have tried to link late period units with late buildings/techs to simulate the changes in units at this time. We dont have a custom tech tree yet.
