Bonaparte's Peninsular War Mod Files 

Goal of the Mod

----------------

1) Color Leader images

- The base game is all black and white leader images - This should colorize just about everything, using a variety of custom work, images clipped and resized from the web, or images from other games in the series.

- I also added about 100 new images with corresponding OOB updates for leaders that were given generic artwork in the base game. This adds a little more variety and flavor to the game.

2) Add Regimental/Battalion Flags where possible.

Notes:

French side: The flags should match the 1808-1811 time period covered in the game.

British side: Fortunately, there are a ton of sources on the British side. For the most part, this should be historically accurate for Line Infantry and Cavalry units. I may have taken a little artistic license with some British Hussar units, giving a generic red cavalry flag.

Portuguese side : I was able to find references for the line infantry flags, but not for most Cavalry units. As a result I left the Cavalry blank. On the line infantry I went w/ a King's color for 1st Battalions and with the appropriate colored flag for 2nd Battalions.

Spanish side: This would have been a monster undertaking to get this perfect for all infantry and cavalry units, and there were too many where I was unable to find a reference on the web. Therefore on most of the infantry I went with the base white flag w/ red lines running diagonal. The cavalry I left blank for the most part.

3) On the French side, I updated a small portion of Unit Artwork from images that I liked from other games. This helped get a few of the French Hussar regiments with historically correct colors.

4) This follows a VERY similar design pattern to "EZJax" mods available on Napoleonic Games Club site.

The French and British art on the top right of a unit box comes straight from there.

On the Portuguese and Spanish side I tried to create a coat of arms for that space. Admittedly, this could use some work, and I would welcome some help on this.

What this Includes:

------------------

1) Updated Unit Graphics slightly compared to the base install. This adds Regimental/Battalion flags within the artwork. OOBs are updated to make this work with the new images on the Units File

2) Updated leader images. In some cases, the OOB mapping needed to change in order to upgrade certain leaders from generic images to accurate images.

3) Included some French, British, Portuguese, and Spanish icons in the UnitBox file.

What this Mod doesn't include

------------------------------

1) I've tried very hard to not change any of the unit or leader quality ratings, or any of the size of the units from the latest WDS version.
