Hey I realize this section has been dead for a few months but I was hoping to make a couple of suggestions:
To call for back up, you push a key to blow your whistle. Any lawmen within ear shot would come to your aid. This would only truly work in the cities and towns. Back up would be pretty much non-existent in the back country. Maybe a Good Samaritan could come to your aid in the wilderness but there would likely be no other lawmen around to help.
It would be nice to have adjustable uniforms: a Blackwater police uniform and a Saint Denis uniform each with a patrolman or Chief option. For all other lawmen who don’t have uniforms, maybe you could wear whatever civilian clothes you want with the appropriate badge (sheriff/marshal/Pinkerton) appearing on the shirt/jacket.
I realize in a bit late to this forum but I wanted to put these ideas out there. Thanks for working on this project, I can’t wait to see the end result!
