Great units, G.
Also, the zoc were set up with the habsburg civ in mind. You were limited in ways that weren't always obvious. I gave up on it more than once.

Thanks Tim. Do you mean the invisible border unit zoc's in Carolus? I've made a tower graphic for them that makes the scenario a lot easier to play without constantly bumbing into the buggers.

Here are some mid-17th C. units, as requested for the 30YW scenario, plus some Turks, Poles, English and Scottish Covenanters. Personality units to follow once I've tackled some Bronze Agers.

Usual crap about the posted gfx being a preview only, with the in-game units bmp in the zip below.

these units are splendid...

Amazing work Fairline

The Polish Pancerni and Hussars really catch my eye. Don't be at all surprised if those beauties reapear one day in an Ottoman scanario I have in mind!

[battosai]

WTF... A massive bump to get finished with my scenario just was happening.

Now fast dl and see how it looks in-game.

Are there any cossacks in there?

And I'm lobbying for MGE versions.

Good gravy!

Those are wonderful, fairline...! I love the musketeers especially...!

There is no upper limit to the works of art this man creates...

These units made my day!

[Arthedain]

Pure beauty. Swedes

I forgot ... Me 2, of course.

Outstanding work! I love the shading, it really makes the units pop. Very smooth transition of color, plus the units look very animated.

[techumseh]

How long have you wanted to make a Polish "winged-hussar"?

[curtsibling]

There is even a little Scots highlander chap, wearing a plaid, and not a girly kilt!

[tanelorn]

Yep.
Absolutely amazing! Whoa!
You really take advantage of that extra ToT slot space & colours!
Any Ivan the Terrible Muscovites forthcomming maybe?

[Von Bert]

And just cause nobody say it.. i do clap my hands also to the artillery train , from heavy guns to the light swedish regimental artillery ..
Your drawing style remember me what Keith Richards said about his guitar solo.. "the less (note) is better"...choosing wich details are good and wich are to be "silenced"..so that in the end a strong clear effect is there.. bravo !

Ah, for some reason I thought you were making a ToT scenario

The only ones that'll squeeze into an MGE slot without butchery are the artillery I'm afraid. Have you seen Arne schmidt's 30YW units for MGE? Check out Henrik's 1655 scenario available at CFC IIRC to find them. The alternative is to size reduce mine individually to about 90% and then clean 'em up before loading the MGE palette.

You can always use these if you plan to make a future ToT conversion after completing the MGE version.

Anyone want any surplus to requirements ToT mid-17th C. units?
