This is a complete overhaul mod for ETW that as spent the last 7 years in development. All units have been completely overhauled, many have entirely different equipment and all have overhauled stats. The mod is MOSTLY in line with history of the period as a whole but not the exact year- some major changes. New Spain and the 13 Colonies have broken from their European counterparts. No waiting to see if the US forms, its a key part of the flavour of the period. I I recommend AUM-EMP's graphics pack to bring up to date and get more interesting uniforms. Key things that you need to know that might not be obvious - no replenishment. The button is still there but it doesn't do anything. This applies to the AI too - Upkeep. The unit card will show only half the upkeep that a unit will cost. I know this is inconvenient but the result is a better game. - Anti-cav bonus. Hussars and other light cav have a bonus fighting other cav Startpos file uses HusserlTW's LoS fix so thanks to him
I like the idea and overall balance of the mod.
Thank you for sharing it with us!
Grand!
Having played ETW for on and off for 10 years, I always find myself re-installing the game and browsing the net for updated and/or new mods.
I found this one and after installing it gave it a whirl, started a short campaign as UP. First things to notice, some techs are already researched, no biggie there, however construction time for all buildings are 1 turn. Settlement fortifications cost 1 million, forts not removed from world map though.
Haven`t played a land battle yet so can`t comment on that, but naval ones are awful. Ships turn on a dime, broadsides are devastating, a galleon will make a sloop or brig explode from one or two, sixth rates will sink from 3. Cannons and hull made out of glass, crew is like wet paper.
I am not sure what was the intention of the creator of the mod, but after 5 turns or so, I could not spend money fast enough, all ports and buildings constantly upgraded, armies recruited.
May give it another go and see how land battles unfold but for now I can`t recommend it. :(
