Great Work KLA

**KLAssurbanipal** · March 21, 2009, 04:24 PM

Great, thank You to hear my friends

No offence, but why does all ur units have that gay facial hair thing going on? I think every unit u have ever made has it.

**Guilderstein** · March 22, 2009, 03:30 AM

I should congratulate you guys for this tremendous work. The XVIII century is a huge opportunity for those who love fancy uniforms and you are likely to make this game much better. I have a pretty strong background on Maria Theresia's Austrian army and do hope you can improve its TW appearance. CA's grenadiers and dragoons are not realistic at all (not to speak of the Uhlans, which did not show up until the late 1700s). Let me know if I can be of some help. Thanks for your great endeavor.

Thats because that is the kind of beards and mustaches that was the "style" back in those days!

A man wasn't a true man unless he had a beard back then....lmao

It was a symbol of status too...I think hahaha

Thank You all my friends

In the European armies in the 18th century most soldiers wore mustaches. Only in the British Army soldiers have clean shaven. British Army is the most frequently drawn therefore misleading impression that the mustaches were not common in the 18th century. In the armies such as France, Spain, Poland, Russia, Prussia, Austria and other countries of Germany, mustaches were very common. All European Cuirassiers (without Officers) and Hussars should have mustaches. CA committed a mistake that they made Cuirassiers and Hussars without mustaches. many regiments of cavalry, Grenadiers and Musketeers, mustache was required to wear in the armies of Europe. It was written in the rules of the various regiments. In this era of clean shave was civil fashion, while the mustache was a military fashion, so almost everyone except the British soldier wore them.
