Napoleonic Wars mod

[gunship24]

I started to do splash screens but ditched them all because they were information overload like this one.

I am going back to simple ones with pictures and a little text, working on them at the moment as well as a toolbar update that has some nice unit cards on to show all the facing colours that arent on the sprites.

From the bottom up - NTW is a total joke. Sorry you wasted your money. There is also out there a game called HistWar, Les Grognards. Is a good game, just too strategic and "Busy" for my taste.

NTW vanilla is a waste of money, modded it worths every cent. NTW3 is a wonderful MP experience, especially when playing historical detailed scenarios with detailed map and hundreds of units involved which make you feel almost there. Graphics and sounds are the most immersive of the market and with some gentlemen's rules even the tactical warfare becomes realistic. Of course it lacks the commnand structure and you're forced to manage every unit being almost impossible to recreate on 1vs1 large battle, but in 2vs2 or more , well, so gripping.

Btw, looking forward to your mod, last try I had was quite disappointed for the AI behaviour (and here is much more important than in NTW bacuse moving every unit is not that intuitive), I hope you can sort that out. Norb should give a hand introducing a working square and column with proper bonus, because without them every napoleonic game is just a "joke".

well,i'll wait for this mod.ntw is on steam and i wont have that excrement on any of my machines.
i have zero interest in mp whatever the game or period,and having tried ntw on a friends machine (even with the darthmod) its just mtw2 in fancy uniforms.
i think this mod has the most potential for a single player experience as total war bai really peaked with mtw. all my friends to whom ive shown this game have said they are now going to buy it especially having seen this mod.
most of them have tried ntw and as they view mp the same way i do,the consensus seems to be that this game and the napoleonic mod for it is definatly the way to go. cheers

Ah that changes everything...no MP no party with NTW. Ai is stupid, SOW AI lives on another planet.
For SP SOW is definitely the best experience on the market.

Rello,

Appreciate your comments. I'm not sure what you mean here when you say "AI is stupid. SOW lives on another planet." What I "think" you're saying is the NTW AI is stupid and you like the SOW AI. Am I correct here? (Or have I missed it completely )

Or he is saying that we are from Mars, and the AI is from Venus. It could only explain why I keep getting beaten up by the A.I. so badly.

Having just stumbled back into 'SOW - Gettysburg' (and updated to 1.4 but haven't bought Antitem yet) the Napoleonic Mod has caught my eye. In addition, there are a bunch of lads from Britain and those places who are Kriegsspiel players, mostly in Napoleonic Era tho some later, whose K-S forum is alive with talk of SOW.

Question: Is there a working Napoleonic Wars mod to download? If so, what does it contain? Where are the bugs and work-arounds posted so I can get it work?

If not: when will it be out?

And, last but not least, will it include the Bavarian Army of 1805 and the Saxon Army of 1805 and the Prussian Army of 1805/06 and Hesse of 1805/06? Those are my favorites for the era ... well, Imperial Russian most of all but ...

[Jack ONeill]

A.S. -

Damn man, where have you been? Long time, eh?

Yes, the Mod is downloadable, HOWEVER, you might want to wait a bit as Gunship 24 is preparing a newer, updated version. The rough period is 1809, give or take. Right now it's Austrians, French and Bavarians. Russians OR British/KGL are expected nest, as far as I know. There are a bunch of Modded OOB's to go along with it, mostly done by me.

You can find the Mod under the "Road to Wagram" topic heading. Enjoy!

Helping my wife with her illness has occupied a great deal of my time and energy, plus dodging pneumonia myself this winter didn't give me any extra free time, either. She's doing better now and so am I. Plus, I see there are a number of new players coming into SOW from the Kriegsspiel group HQ'd in the U.K. and K-S is one of my gaming passions as it works so well for solo.

I'd really like to see Russians and I'll wait a bit for them, but once the next update/upgrade/whatever is out, I'll probably break down and d/l the mod. Austrians, French and Bavarians ... hmm ... sounds like '06 to me. heh.

[Jack ONeill]

Brother,

Sorry to hear all that. Stuff does happen, eh?

Yes, according to Gunship, there will be Russians. I look forward to them too. Note there are a lot of small changes we made as we found issues. It's not perfect, but it is a lot of fun.
