Napoleonic Era is a renowned, fan-made modification franchise for Age of Empires 3 and its expansions The Warchiefs and The Asian Dynasties. The mod intends to accurately illustrate the time from 1555-1815 by greatly expanding and reworking the game with new units, buildings, maps, sounds, music and civilizations. The mod has been founded in January 2006 at the German Age of Empires site age-community.net by Alexander Fleger and is being continued by Peter Piepenburg since February 2010. Since the very beginning of NE, specialized members such as RM scripters, texturers or concept artists have always been signed up to improve or expand particular aspects of the mod. Next to the persistent NE core team, these NE assistants, that mostly perform temporary tasks, form the unit that is directly involved in the making of NE.
