*You also need to add manually to the data folder the corresponding TEXT file

*You have two different nomenclatures for the files: (A) and (N). (A) comes from "All", and these are the files that are compatible with any other mod. (N) comes from "Napoleonic Era" and obviously these files are only useful to play this mod. These nomenclatures will be very useful to differentiate these files from the future NEW ERA files that will be done for Napoleon Total War as well.

Campaign Chagellog:

France will have an expansive attitude while the other factions will use their resources to help their allies, defending and recapturing their own territories. Like this, you will have a more accurate historical experience where you will not see nations expanding all over Europe (EXCEPT FRANCE)

Battle Chagellog:

1. Bigger maps and slower movements: More tactical and longer battles
2. Cavalry has been nerfed but is still useful for flan or breaking certain infantry formations.
3. Bayonet charges will produce moral penalties for both, the units that it is charging and the one who is receiving the charge. Like this melee combat will be sort and will be only useful to break enemies moral. As it really was. Moreover, this will make AI keep firing in lines more frequently resulting in more realistic battles. Neverthelles it is still going to be dumb. Some video examples: Youtube.com
4. Units will run after suffering 40% of deaths.. you will need to keep reserves in the second line to fill the gaps of your first line!
5. Light infantry will have better aim than line infantry but balanced with poor morale and less melee combat. These changes try to reproduce the melee and morale benefits that had for the infantry to fight in compact lines.
6. The AI will recruit less militia, skirmish and light infantry, so almost all the armies will have a majority of line infantry.
7. Units ultra size: Line infantry: 350, Elite infantry and grenadiers: 320, light infantry: 180, skirmishers: 150, militia: 240 and cav: 90.
8. New musket and cannon sounds from Empire II. Credit "Tonnes"
