NAPOLEON: TOTAL COMBAT 4.0 BETA I HAS ARRIVED news

NAPOLEON: TOTAL COMBAT 4.0

BETA I
The aim of this mod is, first of all, to make battles more of a spectacle, and a bit more ‘visceral.’ This is done through larger units, including larger artillery units, and a larger volume of fire.

The second aim of the mod is campaign based, giving both the player and the AI the ability to raise larger and stronger armies almost from the get go. No longer will there be just one or two stacks per major nations during wars. The player and the AI, once the ‘mid-game’ has come, will be playing with multiple stacks, making for more numerous large-scale battles. Please note, the action does not start right away, but rather sensibly, especially once the several modified technologies are researched.

You can no longer steam-roll the AI once you have defeated their primary army. Once the mid-game comes, expect constant, fierce resistance from the AI.

Death or Glory is a special mode of play that allows for army stacks larger than the usual twentyunits. You'll be able to command armies of up to 40 units! Death or Glory Campaigns also include the following changes: Unit Upkeep is reduced by 25% for 30 unit armies and reduced 50% for 40 unit armies. Unit Limits have been increased 50% for 30 unit armies and 100% for 40 unit armies. The Unit Cards for the HUD have been reduced in size to accommodate the increase in units. All the Major Factions and Campaigns are supported!

Napoleon: Total Combat also features fully support intergration with HusserITW's ever popular Napoleon: Total Factions! Use Total Faction to bring a minor nation to greatness with the power of Total Combat! And all these features are managed with the mighty NTC Launcher System:
