FASHIONS ABOUT RUSSIA, NEW RUSSIAN SOLDIERS EDIT UNITS (Napoleon: Total War)

Oh great, I'll appreciate it)

Dear connoisseurs of history!
I set these textures for myself, and now I want to ask: did the Russian soldiers really have circles on their shakos stylized as the French tricolor, galleries? I just did not pay attention initially - is this a jamb of developers, or what?

I checked, this is indeed the original version from the developers. I looked at historical references, for some reason I did not find confirmation of this type of Russian tricolor on shakos.
By the way, about the Cossacks. In the text pack offered here, they all have some kind of golden general's epaulettes and hats that look like a fur shako. I like the original look of the Cossacks in caps and without huge shoulder straps more.

It's up to you! And for example, I like real emblems in the form of crossed cannons, grenades with flames (nucleons) for grenadiers and hats are better. because such caps, as developed by the developers, our Cossacks began to wear later, and then they wore something like the caps of soldiers from Vereshchagin's paintings (where soldiers in the desert shoot back from the Turks), only more gray and more falling on the back of the head with a little gray or black visor! So, in my opinion, such hats are better, and the Cossacks themselves became very similar to the Cossacks of the Life Guards, but not with a red top! In tgotre fashion, if you know one, they are generally in the same, only without beards!!!! As for the circles, I didn’t understand, do you mean in the middle at the very top, a small one?

morison1991
Yes, that's exactly what I mean. I can’t find any historical information that such circles really existed ....

I seem to have them on small reproductions in one book, but .... sort of! Everything is very small!

it's strange why there is no Bagration in the game for the Russians ... sooo sorry ...

A new mod is being prepared and most likely it will be there and many more!

PS The pomp on the very top of the shako is called a repeek and it is non-commissioned officer's and should generally be gray-white!

Bagration appears later, 8-12m on the list

m ... so they still thought it out, but they had to write it down in the first 5)

Added mod The Glory of the Russian Empire - NTW Edition 0.9! Throw in a hat!

Material taken from the portal ***Sich***

At the moment, a new test, unfinished version of NM TEXTURE MOD from the ArtStudio supermoder has been released! For those who want to make the first test - added to the cap!

It's great, I'll check it out today) Still a mod that would replace bearded gypsies with normal Russian Cossacks and militias, it would be ice in general))

Well, with the Cossacks, they really overdid it - they turned out to be some kind of Americanized .... in the Western view, they should look exactly like that ... They should have light beards, but about the militia, it’s generally a joke, because. well, the shape is very reminiscent of the shape of the German Landwehr, only it was not green there ... So, I absolutely agree with you on these two points! At worst, imagine that the Cossacks in the game do not represent the troops of the Don Cossack army, but, say, the Kuban or Crimean, something like the Circassian "Wild Hundreds" of the 19th century, maybe it will become a little easier ....!

Heh, yes, I’m a Don Cossack myself (I’m serious!), Ideally, they would generally trim their beards (mustache was popular on the Don, but not beards), so, anyway, it’s a shame for the state! By the way, I don’t really know, but did our militias really have Maltese crosses on their caps?

Here, I found one picture, however, I can’t make out what they have there: http://on-infantry.narod.ru/imper/imgimp/Infantrus12.jpg

Shane-
Well, then, hello godfather! Congratulations!!! Although I am not a Cossack, but by my mother all the relatives from the village of Elizavetinskaya from the Kuban .... So are you a Cossack by blood or are you a member of the Don Cossack army?!!!
As for the mustache, this is a slightly controversial issue, because the mustache has been allowed "according to the charter" in the Russian army since the time of Peter the Great, but there are no beards and I think no exceptions were made for the Cossacks in this regard, but what about on campaigns, and even in During the Napoleonic wars in partisan sorties, our Cossacks wore - mustaches or even beards - we can only guess .... Well, the creators of the game and mods look at this through the eyes of the Western public, and she, alas, considers the Cossacks to be something like Busurman or Mujahideen, necessarily with beards, or maybe simply confuses with the same "Wild Hundreds", where the main contingent consisted of Caucasian peoples, and they are mostly Muslims and probably they were allowed to wear beards due to the religious differences of their faith ......
The sight of the militias infuriates me the most, because I already said that their shape is very similar to the shape of the Landwehr and most of all, it is these huge Maltese (German Luftwaffe) crosses !!! Of course, they couldn’t have such crosses, and despite the fact that in the picture that you threw off, by the way, very interesting, I see rather small crosses on the shakos - I’m almost sure that in reality there was something different .... And the picture , if you paid attention, with French inscriptions and does not quite accurately reflect the shape of the Russians, for example, the infantry had a cap, like Kutuzov's with a crimson rim and a white (not green) top, and the rest of the infantry did not have a single eagle on a shako, and I have, even a photo of such a shako from the album, where the two-headed flaunts clearly .....
PS I think the militia didn’t have a uniform at all, as such, but with the condition of our winter, it was more like a hat with earflaps, or a hat .... There is a militia at Vereshchagin’s works and one of these paintings is called “Don’t block it, let me come!”

So are you a Cossack by blood or are you a member of the Don Cossack Host?!!!

A little bit of this and that))

In the picture that I threw off, probably such Russians as the Parisians remembered them) It seems to me that the creators of the game copied our soldiers from it. As for the form of the militia, I agree with you, most likely they did not have any form, they were even armed mainly with scythes and pitchforks: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/71/French_retreat_in_1812_by_Pryanishikov.jpg
True , the Moscow militia had a uniform, but it is not even close to the one in the game.
Z.Y. a couple more interesting features:
- all our soldiers without exception wear mustaches (also a kind of sign of barbarism?)
- the faces of the city guards, unlike the militia, are quite diverse.

............ And then and then a little)) ...
Super, very happy for you! Now I partially understand what is the reason for your choice in favor of such an interesting strategy as Napoleon Total War!

............All our soldiers without exception wear mustaches (also a kind of sign of barbarism?)

I spoke about the views of the West on Russia and Russians, especially the Cossacks! And at least do something to them - they will still consider us barbarians - after all, you have to justify your failures and get even for the feeling of fear that they periodically experience in front of our country! If we behaved in Paris and Berlin the way they did in Moscow, then I think now in the place of Europe there would be a pretzel with poppy seeds ....!
Maybe not quite on topic, but by the way, saying .... The Nazis were more willing to surrender to the Allied troops, explaining this by saying that they did not want to surrender to the "barbarians" and prefer to be captured by "civilized" countries! Ah, so I think they are they just perfectly understood that the allies differed from us in that their houses with their families remained intact, and if they committed such atrocities in London or Washington as they did in our country, then most likely the Americans slammed them with a nuclear bomb, as under Hiroshima and Nagosaki, once and for all wiping Germany off the face of the earth .... and in history, instead, the expression appeared again - "Russian barbarians"! It's just that the Europeans are taking revenge for their fear!
