This combination provides the ultimate enhancement to Vanilla Empire enjoyers. All edits feel natural and uninhibiting, sit back and enjoy Empire on a level you've never seen before. (Pictures are 1.0, not 2.0)
This mod combines An Empire Reborn, HiFiMasteR's Sound Mod, Terrestria Orbem and my own all factions unlock for both early and late campaign start dates! All into an easy and manageable file system. features listed below
An Empire Reborn
"Light overhaul mod, enhancing and rebalancing existing units and systems without compromising the core gameplay. Special care has been undertaken to fit all new units and artwork into the existing core gameplay and art style of the original game."
1. Significant rework of unit rosters for all major factions
2. Reworked unit recruitment for land and naval units
3. Over 40 new units and many more reworked units
4. New Textures and Unit Icons/Portraits for increased visual diversity and historical accuracy
5. Major balance changes for multiple unit types
6. Reworked tech
HiFiMasteR's Sound Mod
"Replaces all music, sounds of muskets, cannons, screaming in battle etc. Lighting effects for weapons (from Imperial Destroyer mod) + my reworked fife and drums."
ArkosTW All Factions and Start Dates
All factions unlocked and playable, without fog of war bug for the start of 1700. All factions playable with fow bug in 1783
Terrestria Orbem
"Improvements are minor. They relate mainly to changes on the strategic map. Models and textures of trees, textures of mountains, textures of roads, some shaders and a texture of a strategic map, which is most similar to Napoleon's, have been changed."
(What I did: Made the different mods compatible, unlocked all factions, refined installation process, packed together)
Provided each player has the exact same mod files downloaded, it's as simple as hosting a match in the Total War Online and joining

Was european military doctrine technology added for minor nations?
Really like the idea of having a lightweight mod that just changes the most important things to me.
Would love to have an option to keep vanilla voices/screams and no fife and drum. No tracers would also be great.
Thanks a lot for your work !
Glad to hear! The sounds are located in the "EH_LordBSM" file, with the .pack editor it should be very easy to delete the voice entries as desired (if you want you can just delete the whole file, but that will also remove battle effects like smoke, cannon sounds and music)
Loving the mod so far, I usually prefer vanilla+ types of mods over overhauls. Just a question here before I go long into a persian campaign, I noticed that one of their units, a better form of line infantry, Sarbazan, requires the european doctrine tech upgrade in order to be recruited, but the persian tech tree in this mod does not seem to have it: Will that affect the recruitment of the unit?
Thank you for telling me! I will note this down and fix this next update, I am very sorry
So, uh, lol, it appears to be a problem as well for the crimean khanate, for their european style units in the late game. No doctrine and such.
Great mod! Been looking for non overhaul mods and this one is a treat.
Is it possible to swap out the fife and drums sounds to be that of generic drums rather than the current British one?
It's a bit jarring hearing The British Grenadiers while playing as the French for example.

yes; basiccally you open the pack file with the sounds and replace it with a wav file that is a fife and drum
This MOD is Amazing for anyone who enjoy vanilla game but want it beefed up!!! Incredible job on this mod
