(6-08) Field Gun Art Update Proposals
Original thread by @pineappledan can be found here.

The current VP field gun unlocks in early Industrial era and uses this icon:

It is a French soixante-quinze, a WWI-era field gun.

Proposal:
We should change the Field Gun's unit model and icon to the one used by the Enlightenment Era mod.

EE field Gun's icon:

This appears to be an American civil war era piece. It has a similar look to the cannons used in the civil war scenario:

Reason for change:
- The current VP field gun is ugly and it's an anachronism.

(6-08a) Update Field Gun Art to Rifled Cannon​

Current gun model and uniform match WWI (modern) era guns

New gun model and uniforms match the civil war (industrial) era and the coloring is sufficiently different from the cannon model

Probably the most controversial change, but the portrait now matches the model.

This portrait actually matches the civil war era model better than it does the renaissance era model.


The proposed model and unit flag icon already exist in the Firaxis game files in the Civil War Scenario, so the only thing needed is to update the database entries to the proper values (similar to how we used the Airship from the Empires of the Smoky Skies Scenario). Would still need to introduce the portrait from the EE modmod.
