Please make sure you're utilizing the latest WDS version of this game, and have backed up your files before overwriting OOB's, and Leader and Unit artwork.

Goal of the Mod
----------------
1) The base game has some colorized leader images. This hopefully fills the game out with more color images.
2) Add Regimental/Battalion Flags for most units and heavily change the artwork. The base Austerlitz unit artwork suffers a little bit in comparison to some of the other games.
- I've leaned heavily on the Campaign Jena artwork, which I'm fond of. However, I've also borrowed from Campaign Eylau, Campaign Marengo, and Napoleon's Peninsula War campaign titles. (and maybe an image or two from the Napoleon in Russia title)
- French units have a standardized flag during this time period, and you wouldn't be able to see the battle honors with the sizing I'm using, so they all look the same for the purposes of this design.
- Prussian units should now have their historically accurate "Regimentsfahne" flag wherever possible. The Saxon units should have their accurate flags as well.
- Austrian units get a consistent Austrian Regimental flag from the period. (Not a lot of variety here)
- Russian units should have their historically accurate Battalion flags
- British units should have their historically accurate Regimental flags
3) I've tried to get the facing/collar colors historically correct on the Prussian and Austrian Infantry and Cavalry units. I've also tried to get the facing/collar colors historically correct on the French cavalry.
4) This follows a VERY similar design pattern to "EZJax" mods available on Napoleonic Games Club site.
What this Includes:
------------------
1) Updated Unit Graphics slightly compared to the base install. This has Regimental/Battalion flags included within the artwork. OOBs are updated to make this work with the new images on the Units File
2) Updated leader images. In some cases, the OOB mapping needed to change in order to prevent repeats.
3) Credit where credit is due: I borrowed images for the right hand side of the UnitBox from an older "EZJax" mod available on the Napoleonic Games Club site. This keeps things a little more balanced looking without a big open space on the right.
What this Mod doesn't include
------------------------------
1) I've tried very hard to not change any of the unit or leader quality ratings, or any of the size of the units from the latest WDS version.
General Design notes:
1) Where I felt it was necessary, I borrowed some unit artwork from other games. (Eylau, Marengo, etc.) This was especially helpful in pulling some of the Hussar images from the Eylau title.
2) If anyone has any suggestions for improvements, please let me know. (Leaders I got wrong, Flags I got wrong, etc.)
