While we do make some historical changes and try to bring a level of realism to the game we prefer not to label the mod; if we were to do so we'd call it a 'gameplay mod' more than anything else.
Overview
- Realistic recruitment
- Balanced combat
- Balanced economy
- New technologies
- New historical units
- All factions playable
Partial List of Features
- Manpower and supply govern how many troops you can recruit.
- Whole economic structure of the game reworked; unit costs, buildings costs, and more.
- Research now costs as schools have an upkeep, whether they are researching or not.
- Completely reworked morale system for both land and naval battles.
- Completely reworked naval combat; turning, ranges, speed, acceleration, and a lot more.
- Resistance plays a huge role and prevents steamrolling the world in most cases.
- Tech tree and related research times completely reworked. Simpler technologies are easier to aquire, and some of the later philosophical techs will take some time to finish.
- Removal of fire and advance and volley fire.
- Artillery made much more effective; ranges increased based on shot type, accuracy adjusted with reload speed. Shots are much less accurate after 350 meters.
- Infantry weapon ranges increased. Muskets do less damage at ranges over 50 meters.
- Platoon fire now available only for Ferguson riflemen.
- Tighter unit formations.
- Light infantry doctrine and rank fire are lower in the tech tree and require less points to research than before making them easier to get earlier in the game.
- All non-emergent factions playable.
- Historical units - Potsdam Giants, Zeiten Hussars, Marines, Swiss Guards, Decanni Lancers, Douaniers, Regimiento Inmemorial del Rey, and more; more being compiled every week.
- Balanced combat; Reload bonuses for firing drills are evened out, square formation for realistic, morale levels due to flanking and rear attacks more of a problem than before, units tire more quickly when running over long distances.
- Light infantry now equipped with bayonets.
- Experience caps (number of kills or deaths needed, etc.) lowered. Units gain experience quicker this way.
- Fixed Taxes and other bugs that CA hasn't patched yet.
- Revamp of Empire's numbers; Charge increased for cavalry and infantry; morale adjustments based on level of training, movement and morale on terrain or in weather, misfires, etc.

every time I play campaign no matter what nation I am go bankrupt ?
It's because you probably going into enemy territory, which have to pay more for them rather than less in your "home"/conquered regions. You are also probably training to many units and not building up your economy enough before hand, causing your economy to suffer and collapse.
Just saying that thanks for this tip before i start playing so i won't have problems ;)

How did you make the custom units in this mod?
So with artillery is this mod similar to Darthmod? Where the Artillery fire at an angle so that they don't always have to be on the high ground to fire from behind your Infantry.

Empire.exe not found
nvm i didnt put the mod in the same folder
I can't launch empire with the mod, it boots up empire, then crashes. what do I do?
So I am very confused. Every time I start a campaign, I go bankrupt within a few turns, despite my policy budget tab telling me that I'm making a profit.
Can anyone help, or explain this to me?
Crashed on startup with empire exe has stopped working
