Sweden could have a unique Grenadier dressed like King Charles XII Grenadiers ( Narva , Poltava). Russians could get a some XVIIIc. unique units.

 

A very good idea

 

There's historical facts. That Sweden infantry was superb at their bayonet drill and discipline. In many fights they prevailed with hard push on bayonets. So I suggest that they could have Elite muskets , with Similar to Prussian Musketeers bayonet power. And at least 2 hit kill musket power. This would be one of first steps towards balanding game. And btw. Why Denmark is so OP for 18 century? While it was a small country and haven;t builded such an Empire as Prussia , Russia or Austria did...

 

Almost all the infantry were farm boys who were divided into landscape regiments They beat everything enemies put up with, if not very much outnumbered, there were also some recruited infantry regiments all the dragoons, cavalry and artillery and livgardet.Livdrabanterna was the king's own bodyguard, a kind of super elit. All the armed forces had tremendous high morale, both Gustavus and Charles XII died on the battlefield, Charles X and XI had great luck that did not.
Danes troops were mostly paid recruited Germans.
They have some good lifeguards.

 

So These lifeguards now are in this game? Because when you recruit them they overwhelm by numbers any enemies

 

It would be good if Spain got its own content. Unique units and fight tactics. For example Spanish Tercio. There you have in practice:

 

Yeah It's funny how such a strong nation like SPAIN have just 1 unique unit for 17c. I understand if German nations would have similar looking pikeman and musketeers 17c. but SPAIN is completely unique. Their armor / weaponry have its own theme. So for example if they would have Spanish looking pikeman for 17c it would be something. For example they could wear spanish looking armor and a pike.


BTW I really like what they did with Grenadiers. Now they have 120 Hitpoints and Saxony grenadier has like before 28 Shooting power. Bavarian Musket now has 61 shooting power. I would think this is lame , but since prussian Muskets are no longer 1 hit shooters I think it's very OK. Bayonet power was nerfed Id say thats a very good move as well. The only thing Id still consider : Sax muskets shooting power.
