The big innovation in that release of is the evolution of the uniforms, separating the Grand Campaign in two periods (three at least), one early and one late Period. Each period allows you a different roster so as to be the most historically accurate on the units available, the uniform changes by stages, so as to be consistent one period corresponds to a major conflict:
- Early: War of Spanish Succession
- Late: French Revolutionary wars
The second big innovation is the integration of the French Revolution, when a Revolution succeeds in France uniforms will change, according to the period time line, thus it is possible to make a Revolution getting the blue uniforms during the early period even if it is unhistorical. You make History.
