Thirty Years War

[Sarsstock]

I'd say the answer to that depends on whats deemed more historically accurate. Now sadly the "Thirty Years War" and 17th century warfare (no typo there Gareth ), but as you say it was historically accurate for Pikes to be used to defend Muskets, especially from cavalry was it not?

With that in mind I'd say stick with J. Munoz's idea of the two seperate units.

How many civs are intended to be playable by human(s)?

[techumseh]

All seven: Imperials, Protestants (incl. Dutch), Spain, Poland, Denmark, France & Sweden.

[techumseh]

Clarification: All 7 are playable in single player.

This sounds like an excellent conversion and upgrade in the making!

I love the reformation era, and the following imperial eras too...

White whigs, muskets and dandy highwaymen, etc...!

Were matchlocks the standard throughout the period? And if muskets became lighter and cheaper over time, perhaps 2 or 3 musketeer types are in order.

Curt, what would a baroque city look like?

Generally. although flintlocks were in use by some specialist units (eg Desborough's Firelocks, who guarded the New Model Army artillery train, and therefore were around large stashes of gunpowder most of the time )
