Goals of the 2.0 Mod:
1) The base game has some colorized leader images. This hopefully fills the game out with more color images.
2) Add Regimental/Battalion Flags for most units and heavily change the artwork. The base Austerlitz unit artwork suffers a little bit in comparison to some of the other games.
- I've leaned heavily on the Campaign Jena artwork, which I'm fond of. However, I've also borrowed from Campaign Eylau, Campaign Marengo, and Napoleon's Peninsula War campaign titles. (and maybe an image or two from the Napoleon in Russia title)
- French units have a standardized flag during this time period, and you wouldn't be able to see the battle honors with the sizing I'm using, so they all look the same for the purposes of this design.
- Prussian units should now have their historically accurate "Regimentsfahne" flag wherever possible. The Saxon units should have their accurate flags as well.
- Austrian units get a consistent Austrian Regimental flag from the period. (Not a lot of variety here)
- Russian units should have their historically accurate Battalion flags
- British units should have their historically accurate Regimental flags
3) I've tried to get the facing/collar colors historically correct on the Prussian and Austrian Infantry and Cavalry units. I've also tried to get the facing/collar colors historically correct on the French cavalry.
I've also tried to update Russian collar/Shoulder strap colors on infantry in the 2.0 mod
4) This follows a VERY similar design pattern to "EZJax" mods available on Napoleonic Games Club site.
