Napoleonic Total War III is the latest Napoleonic modification developed by The Lordz Modding Collective (LMC), based on Creative Assembly’s latest title Napoleon: Total War. NTW3 is an in-depth modification and the result of 4 years of development (since 2010), bringing you, as always, the most historically accurate and breathtaking multiplayer experience to date.
This mod would truly be great if it didn't crash every hour and a half, and if the soldiers didn't march at an absolute snail's pace (they literally march in slow motion and running is far from realistic). This ironically ruins the authenticity of their mod because it claims to be realistic however soldiers seem to move around the battlefield at 3km/h which is truly the killer for me. The same goes for cavalry, which are extremely underwhelming in this mod. From what I've seen, the cavalry is only used for suicide charges on artillery or through lines and players (and AI) don't really consider keeping them alive to the end of the game (from my experience). However it leads to interesting gameplay with positioning of troops and pre-planning.
It seems that because of popular youtubers and commenters, everyone has been drawn into believing that snail marching is realistic because of their naivety which I can understand.
Don't get me wrong, it's great to see that they are striving for realism and have delivered in terms of realistic units and names. Amazing to see the Royal Marines named as Bootnecks! But there are so many flaws, the crashes, oh the crashes.
But the final flaw for me is the absolute lackluster surrounding small arms. They are absolutely terrible. I have no reason why the mod team has thought that its a good idea to make it so that only 15 of 100 (or even 200) men firing can hit a target less than 20m in front of them. I know there are some historical accounts of muskets being terribly inaccurate but for fudge sakes. This is just ridiculous.
P.s the Ai sucks bollocks.
10/10 no question
This mod is very well made but. The guns in NTW3 are not real guns if anything they are what people think muskets were like compared to how they actually worked. It's not a good thing when I can put a unit of French old guard close enough to the other line where the soldier's individual facial features can be seen, and them miss 95% of their shots. this mod is truly overrated to a massive degree and it would be better if you never played it.
I am deducting 7 points because I can respect the talent that went into this mod.
this is a really realistic and over all great mod! well dome guys!
Really good mod ! xD
Awesome mod thx guys
Мод я оценил на 1 по той причине что невозможно изменить скорость армии такое чувство что это черепахи еще и слепые стреляют только впритык ! Установил поиграл 30 минут удалил я не готов один бой вести 2 часа!!!
El mod es muy bueno y divertido, sin embargo tiene muchos errores, como la movilidad de las unidades, e incluso posicionar a la caballeria, hablando de eso la caballeria es extremadamente lenta incluyendo el resto de las unidades y los mosquetes demasiado imprecisos, sin embargo el realismo de las unidades al formar y disparar es hermoso, incluyendo los sonidos que emiten, en mi opinion el mod no está mal, pero necesita mejoras
Pero seria posible tener un mod que unicamente mejore y de el realismo de las unidades de infanteria al disparar y marchar?
Mod doesnt start, i onlt get an error message when i try. before you ask. yes i followed all the installation steps correctly.
A lot of the problems are just the base game, not the mod. But I have to give it a poor rating because this mod is so hyped in community discussions and it just doesn't deserve to be, at all.
If you're only wanting a multiplayer battle and hope it doesn't crash, you might be fine.
The single player campaign though is unplayable.
