With 191 New Land Units + 14 New Naval Units, fantastic effects, many campaigns, 40 unit armies and the most challenging gameplay, it is the number one choice, if you search for a Total War: Napoleon mod.
Read what are the latest changes:
Version 2.5++ "Mythos Edition" (10/7/2012)
- Artillery more powerful in the battlefield as widely requested. (Also the impact effects of solid shots have been improved).
- Several CAI recruitment options have been optimised.
- AI France more aggressive to be able to survive and prevail against the CAI alliance packs (In DarthMod alliances are realistic and helpful).
- Britain more aggressive so to attack and invade more often.
- Naval guns more powerful against crew and have more range. Additionaly many naval gameplay mechanics have been re-balanced for compensation.
- CAI better army positioning in the campaign map, hopefully leading to more AI strategic maneuvering.
- BAI Formations improved and they make the AI to be far more effective in attacking/defending, in protecting the general and in artillery usage.
- The Albtraum23 modified deployment zones submod included in DarthMod is now not creating CTD in siege battles (removed all the possible causes which means siege battles have normal deployment zones).
Version 2.5+ "Mythos Edition" (3/7/2012)
- Fixed the Emergent Campaigns that did not not load from the launcher.
- Fixed an issue of the launcher that prevented the manual toggle of unit size.
- CAI should now defend and attack settlements with much larger forces so it will be even more challenging.
- Naval CAI should distribute ships better in order to trade, attack, defend, invade.
- Diplomacy should be more rational than before.
- Musket smoke fine tuned even better according to some latest feedback.
- Artillery ground impact effects enhanced!
- Artillery concussion effects & fragment lethality increased even more.
- Names of the 2 new units of the latest Creative Assembly DLC are now shown correctly. (A lot of thanks to Marku who gifted me the DLC and so I could trace the bug).
- Re-balanced the cost of all units so that there is more economic challenge in the campaign.
- Made payments more important in diplomacy negotiations.
Version 2.5 "Mythos Edition"
- Adapted for the latest official CA patch of 18/6/2012 (no more CTD at startup).
- Improved BAI.
- Far more improved responses, unit speeds resulting to even more cinematic and violent melees and to better timed volleys.
- CAI should be generally more versatile in diplomacy and improved.
- CAI should create more alliance packs.
- CAI should relentlessly try to take back its conquered lands.
- Autocalc improvements.

- Fixed a problem with musket smoke that made it too shiny for some Graphics Cards.
- More hilly terrains for more tactical battles.

No moreemergent factions? What did i do wrong? I think I'd be better off playing 2.5 open beta ver 7. than give up my emergents.
never mind. I found out. dont click on either and you get them.
excellent mod. u da man!
my computer is to weak to play this mod ;(
I know this mod makes the ai better and the game harder, but is it possible to still have an easy arcade experience? because I'd really like to use the new units, but I suck at total war games...
You can play on EASY :)
awesome DARTH thank you...
Is their a way to increase turns in the Italian Campaign (the map if Italy)? I'd like to have a long and drawn out campaign instead of a rushed and fight as fast as you can pace haha.
There is a way but manually and you have to use a mod tool (ESF Tool).
How to install?
You follow the installer's guidance.

the dark side of the force is WAY better! it has darth mod :D
Napoleon was never able to conquer britain because he couldn't get there. The british navy was too powerful. On the contrary, they are usually the first country I invade to get them out the way. Maybe you should really step up the program to make the brits ocd on their navy.
In version ++ I made Britain more aggressive. Did you notice that in your campaigns?
Does each faction have its own historically specific marching tunes?
actually, I noticed this time that the british are more aggressive in landing in france and keeping me fighing them on my soil, but after about 3 battles, their d day invasion force is shatered I'm able to once agian load two armies onto two ships and cross the channel easily to england, and another to scotland. it gets more realistic each time though.
Just want to say thank you for a fantastic mod!
One question though, when playing as Sweden I miss having an initial fleet. Is that possible to effect in some way?
