Hello everyone! 
Let me introduce myself, my name is Henrik Wissing. I currently live in Denmark, and i am a passionate gamer, and hopefully i will get to be a game developer one day.
One late night i was reading "dybbol butcherbench" and it's about the war in Schleswig, between Denmark, and Prussia. And all of the sudden it was like a deep memory going off inside of my mind as i was reading. All of the sudden i could sense the horror, i could smell the smoke from the cannons. I could hear the danish soldiers screaming for their mother in agony. And from that night, i knew i wanted people, especially young people to know about this story. Because this is a story that will get lost in time, sadly.
Not long after that, a new tv show started called 1864, created by danish film director Ole Bornedahl. The most expensive show made in danish television history. And it really captures those really creepy and hopeless moments in the war.
Well off to the mod itself! I thought about making it a game instead, but that is way too much work, and since I'm a big fan of Red Orchestra 2/rising storm. I know a mod for this game will be perfect!
So now i will start too tell you about how the mod will work You may need too look up a few of the things i write (locations, weapons, etc)
So we have 2 teams obviously. The danish, and the Prussian. And they will all have special "abilities"
The main thing is that this will be a mod like no other. How you might say? let me explain.
First of all, the rifles are reloaded after every shot. and loading time will take between 3-6 seconds. We could put in a "button mash feature" where if you press F as fast as you can, the weapon reloads faster. Second of all! The rifles used were VERY heavy. That means, when you aim, you will have 5 seconds to fire, or else you gun will start to slowly point downward, unless you are prone, or leaning against an obstacle. Do you get hit by one of these rifles you will die. They were extremely powerful.
Thats the rifles. Furthermore there will be bayonet charges, swords battles! and more.
The Prussian army will have hussars. Bloodthirsty killers. One of their special ability will be their trumpet. A nightmarish sound it will make. And that will result in the enemy having difficulty reloading, aiming, charging, etc. It will be like an arty attack.
Cannons. Cannons will play a big role in the mod. You will be able to take control of the cannons, and use them for "arty" But more at that develops.
Maps. If we make a beta, the first 2 playable maps will be Dybboel mill. And sankelmark slaughter. Both will be highly realistic with dead bodies filling the ground.
Now you might have noticed that i have written "we" a lot And thats case, i cant make this mod alone. I really want to make this mod, so the story will never be forgotten. I really hope some of you are interested in making this mod. And i wont lie, we need everything! 3D modeler. Sound artist. scripting etc.
But please! Write any questions you might have! and i promise i will reply right away
I hope i have not wasted your time
Below are some useful links of the war etc.
