The EITC

I heard a while ago of an East India Trading Company mod in the works - is this still in progress? You could just change the colour models on some flags, and the colour (from red and white to red yellow and blue) on Soldier models.
 
Its sort of in the works. I know an East Indiaman ship has been made and a flag wouldn't be all to har to make. The soldiers are almost there too. Some American soldiers weree made and we'd just have to add the yellow trim on the buttonholes.

Ah, and what of Admiral Norrington? He is an EIC officer in AWE. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
if the EITC is to be present in the build mod i think it should be portrayed as it was, not in some disney fantasy.
 
Almost finished the lieutenant, finishing touch. Admiral Norrington is a bit harder (the breeches from pictures.) Got some good shots from Joyfull Molly.
 
May I trouble you for those pics? I can't find any good ones... and I <i>must</i> draw the Admiral! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

6 of them.
 
When adding the EITC, I'd also prefer it to be a realistic company, at least at first. It can go evil when Beckett shows up, but as long as Beckett is out of the picture (for example: Beckett not yet entered the story or Beckett dead), the EITC should be a normal trading company like it was in real life. We can use the film uniforms though.

The last news I heard of a Victory for PotC was ages ago, over a year. I am not aware of anything being in the works. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" />

Well Pieter Boelen, I would say we are not talking about a trade company like the Dutch or the French ones. The English EITC was sure evil enough without the help of a Becket. In the XVIII at least - in the XVII it wasn't yet the case - it had become a kind of state in the state, the first exemple of an international company becoming stronger than a country goverment - in the Indias it was managing everything, including politic. It corrupted the Parlament to make so it obey to the company interests and had powerfull lobbies. They were surely not peacefull traders at all! Remember that the American Independence war was partly caused by this company - you've heard about the Boston tea party haven't you?


However I'd enjoy too some realistic trade companies, couldn't it be possible to work at the same time on the French and Dutch West India Companies?
 
I wouldnt mind seeing "Svenska Afrikanska Kompaniet" in PoTC, they were engaged in trade in africa, as well as slave trade but they also operated lightly in the caribbean.

Ha ha ha! Ohhhh yeeeaaahhh.
These buggers had the power to declare war and could because they pretty much had their own armies and navies. (Note that I said plural) The "Honorable" East India Trading Company was a force to be respected and feared. Some feared them worse than pirates. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
