The last pirate I met, got fitten for a wooden leg, if you know what I'm meaning!

Impressive! Very nice! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" />
 
I swear, every time you make a new texture, its a Jaw Dropper, Thomas. Nice work mate.

And, actually, what exactly were English soldiers wearing in 1600-1679? I tried to find some pictures and couldn't <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /><!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

It´s a mod for Medieval II Total War, covering the English Civil War. It gives a good impression of the style of clothes and armour worn during the 17th century.
 
Hot damn, Thomas - You rock good sir. your work as always is second to none. Well done, mate!

VERY impressive. Better than ever! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" />
One of those Spaniards is pretty grumpy though. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/razz.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":razz" border="0" alt="razz.gif" />
 
yeah, that third one looks nasty. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /> i like it.
 
Thanks for the link.

Going back to that English soldier (yes, it still bugs me <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> ) - as far as I can tell, English soldiers in XVII century were just stopping wearing armor and helmets, so... Personally, to represent English soldier from XVII century I would take previous model and then retexture it to lose armor bits (but leave the helmeton, obviously).

And, as of right now, those models kinda start repeating itself:
XVI century - conquistador model,
XVII century - musketeeer model,
XVIII century - soldier and captain model.

So, any exception from above pattern would be rather nice, wouldn't you say? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
Excellent work Thomas. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />

As you can see, I have changed the 17th century soldier.

I am going to continue with the Dutch or the Portugese, and for Kazeite, yes those will not have exactly the same models <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />
 
It is amazing work, Thomas. I really like the new english soldiers, the folds on the jacket of those frogs and the grey-uniformed spaniard. Such diversity among their faces, too. Your are an artist, as you probably already know..

I´m trying to change Grenada into a danish colony, not because removing Portugal is a personal vendetta to me, but because I think its a good way to start getting some insight on modding. That said, danish soldier skins made by you would be _more_ than welcome <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
However, I have some trouble replacing the flag-textures on the ships - I replaced the flagpor.tga.tx but now the portugese flags is red with the portugese emblem inside it - most weird, but I´ll probably figure it out.
 
Very, very good, Thomas!
It's real cool to see all these skins listed next to each other.
Clearly shows you the progress from time to time. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" />
Do you think you could also improve the Spanish Zorri soldiers?
And how about you make a set for the personal soldiers as well? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
Wow! Impressive! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/danse1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":dance" border="0" alt="danse1.gif" />

On to the Portugese!
 
Those armors... First one is rusty... And I agree with that look... Good/realistic/ect/ect... But others... Do they look like that only in screenshots? It look to bright to me... Or that just me?

Hmm.. lets me guess... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> Old Salt? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/24.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rofl" border="0" alt="24.gif" /> So that's how he got his peg leg? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> By meeting with Thomas the Terror's skinjobs? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Anyways, Nice skins all of 'em. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />
