I don't know what a 17th Century Danish Soldier looked like, so take a pick off this page: <a href="http://www.s31clan.com/privateftps/pietersmods/" target="_blank">http://www.s31clan.com/privateftps/pietersmods/</a>
Also try to find a suitable Governor <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

And could you gather a list of Danish/Norwegian ship names?
We will also need someone to take screenshots of the areas and rename them like Charlotte Amalie, Christianssted, Bird Cliffs, Trunk Bay and Fort Christian.

PeterWillemoes, are all your files from build 14? I am looking to do this mod for build 13 not 14.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I uploaded the rest of the files I have on the ftp. Among them are ships_names.c, look in the portuguese section, as I only converted Portugal to Denmark on the "surface". The huge amount of work, replacing everything Portuguese, turned out to be too much to oversee for me. I had to figure out how to make use of the alias file structure of B14A8, making it possible only to change a few files. So yes, I am afraid everything is made in B14A8 and not B13. Sorry, I´ve never modded anything before - thought this way was jolly-dandy-brilliant <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

I dont know how to seperate the camera from the player and take pictures from the air ingame, but I could of course come up with more names, character- and shipwise. To seperate DK a bit from the other nations and make things more realistic, the existing shipsnames are taken from actual merchant and naval ships, build between 1650 and 1750. Most characternames are also from actual persons. Fictious names are a little harder to come up with (we had another namesystem from father to son/daughter back then. That system is still in use on Iceland BTW).
About the guvernor, I think you should meet Peter von Scholten, I had to grab this pic from a DVD of mine:

18th century uniform, unfortunately but long story short: I think Thomas the Terror is working on danish soldiers from all time periods(except the first one). But that´ll probably take a while before he finishes those. As "General Guvernor" really MEANT general back then, he is wearing an officer´s uniform. If I could do models, I would use the head from the Searcher model and the corpse from Aubrey - you think that´s possible? If it is, I suppose we could apply those neat skins from Thomas later on <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

Its not so bad with the flags. I can convert them to those in B13. Only thing is, my Photoshop is not working properly and I just changed OS to Vista. It´ll take a little time <img src="http://forum.piratesahoy.net//style_images/greynight/folder_post_icons/icon8.gif" border="0" class="linked-image" />
Pirate_kk: Any plans for incorporating Sweden into the game as well? I noticed, Merciless Mark wanted them into the last period, but only with ships and no land. I could help him out a bit with swedish ships_names..
