The Great War mod is a total conversion modification for Napoleon: Total War. It creates an authentic representation of World War 1-era tactics, strategies and general warfare within the game. Including stunning new visuals that include entirely new models and textures for equipment, vehicles and more, the mod immerses you into the era with brand new gameplay unlike anything you've experienced in Total War before.
I watched a documentary about the use of mines on the western front and they had some first hand written accounts of what it was like. They described a massive cloud of earth rising into the air and then pillars of flame shooting out of the top of the cloud. After a lot of tweaking this is the closest I've gotten to those descriptions.
