there is difference between Russian NAVY and ARMY. Army uses green or in some cases red color, but Air or NAVY uses BLUE/GRAY + WHITE/BLUE colors. Same as prussian/german army uses gray/orange (red+yellow) colors traditionally but NAVY uses red+black colors and white in addition.

You can use "St. Andrews cross" OR "star and hammer and sickle" not both!
Also Russian heraldic uses no shield or use French shield, cause of Russia has no and uses no european heraldic.

Well, it's actually right Ixxxl already told me this, so idea of last one crest belongs to him,
other ones are fruits of my own twisted fantasy

Well, it's right too. But we've tried to find something matches russian military tradition (no matter army or navy) as well as scottish. St.Andrew (and his cross) looks like obvious choise. But I'm eager to hear any other offers, actually, whole this thread is about listening opinions

P.S.
Bear cavalry. I knew, it's just impossibe that someone didn't post one in this thread

5-th choice would be better without any figures (stars or flowers)

That's been known since November-December of last year...

Oh... I never looked into those things, never wanted to join any, let alone form them, so I never knew that.

Well, I previously always tried to use , since it looks so much like: "It wasn't me, I'm just the musician.", but now I simply do eye-rolls in real life a lot, so I kinda express too many emotions with it.

Devs also said players probably will be able to create in-faction units. Looks like it's cancelled for now.

Yes, they said that, but they also added, "sometime after launch" to that sentence.

So this is going on the backburner then? Can't say I really mind, my patience is infinite, but it's a sure-fire way of losing recruits.

Well, if you look at Dihm's success with his Shieldwall, it's not that fatal for a group. But it sure isn't as great as if it was supported by a house diectly.

If you want to have a regimental name with some history behind it, might I suggest the 108th Saratov:

Gallowglass are Irish though.

Gallowglass are originally from Scotland:

The term Galloglas (or "Gallowglass") is an Anglicisation of the Irish, Gallóglaigh ("foreign soldiers"), incorporating the word, Óglach, which is derived from oac, the Old Irish for "youths", but later meaning "soldier".

The first record of galloglas service under the Irish was in 1259, when Prince Aed O'Connor of Connaught received a dowry of 160 Scottish warriors from the daughter of the King of the Hebrides.

But since it was Irish settlers who settled in Scotland before all that I suppose you could say they were Irish in a way :-)
