Version 5.0 of The Great War mod, original release version
1) Place the "data" folder in your download into your default, main Napoleon: Total War folder.
Example path:
C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\napoleon total war\
If prompted that folders already exist, click "OK" and allow any folders to be merged, nothing will be overwritten.
2) Run the launcher inside the "The Great War" folder. (Make a shortcut on your desktop if you wish)
NOTE: If launcher fails to work for some unknown reason. Follow these instructions as a temporary fix:
1) Place all .pack files from "The Great War/Files" folder into your data folder.
2) Place the 'user.script.txt' in the "The Great War/Files" folder into your appData folder, here:
C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Napoleon\scripts
Replace "USER" with your correct username.
Launcher/Autoupdate-
With TGW 5.0, we are introducing a launcher and an auto update feature, which will keep the mod constantly updated with the latest bug fixes, feature additions and balancing adjustments. Just after the mod is released, we expect to work intensively in response to user feedback and our own extensive testing of features to ensure that as many problems are erased as quickly as possible. For more information on how to help in this process, please read the Troubleshooting section.

3) All unit cards are white
4) All country pictures are white
I can't find a lot
Im having the same problem
I'm having the same problems as well.
same
It is incorrectly installed, but unfortunately I don't currently know the cause.
same problem
Try this: Twcenter.net(with-images!)
Same here
Can I still play the normal Napoleon Total War after I install the mod?
if you have modloader it is simple.
If you don't then download modloader, and if you don't want to then manually remove and add the necesary files every time
Can you link modloader? Also where should the files be extracted to?
Great :)
So this mod is broken great :(
Out of pure curiosity (haven't downloaded the mod yet) just wanted to know if there was anyone whose download and play of the mod went bug-free. I thank the team for all their hard work, and while I can't say myself, it must be difficult to coordinate the process of releasing such a huge mod on such a huge scale without some problems along the way so props to them for trudging through that.
guys I got the mod to run but all of my unit cards are white with numbers how can I fix this?
ya but im guessing u have no sound to and your unit cards are white this mod is broken at the moment
I have sound and the background stuff different ui and campaign and maps
downloaded
yippee
go to work not yippee
Half the flags are white. Crashes my Napoleon, I installed correctly and everything. Broken.
Excellent Mod...
However, I am experiencing problems
1. Game crashes mid-way through battle and upon loading a campaign
2. No sound at all, I have everything turn up fully
3. All unit cards and some country flags are white...
Other than those important glitches, the mod is great

Thank You tgw Mod Team :-) very Good Work Nice :-)
The mod was released full of bugs, despite Mitch's best efforts to fix bugs and delay the game by a day. Better just wait a couple days until a new fix/release. People who downloaded are having trouble installing and currently has to be played with the "Mod" Manager.
mod no work for me ;_; ok, now its time for fixing :,(
For everyone with the problems I had, I think I got the mod working as intended. There are still a few unit description pictures missing and various things like that, but I am assuming that because this is a great mod in progress, such things are intentional.
Anyway, what I did to make it work is as follows:
Move all the Great War files into the Napoleon data folder, including the select files I wanted from the Options folder.
Next, download the Napoleon mod manager from here: Twcenter.net
Then, extract the three files it downloads with into a New Folder. Run the exe. and UnCheck the "Show all pack types" box. Only check the "Great War" boxes, then Launch.
The main menu has the correct music and sounds now, the flags are correct, and the campaign loads.
Good luck and have fun, I hope this helps everyone.
