The mod has been tested to version 1.5.0 build 1332.21992 on windows seven 64bit.
The Game of Empire, by itself, is limited, as we already know, with the guidance of a great nation such as Spain, England, Austria etc. etc.., but there are also other small nations that if well managed could even subdue or destroy the larger, say a real challenge to take on. This mod aims precisely to this fact, you will unlock new factions like Venice, the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, Genoa, Papal State, Portugal, Scotland, Greece, Mexico, Bavaria, France (Repubblican), USA, Native americans, Denmark and others, all with their own military units, ready to compete with the more powerful nations large, and all with their own goals.
The mod was developed basing on the historical aspects of the time then all military units were really existed, such as Tiragliatori the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, the Tuscany Guard for an faction of Genoa, the Bombardiers to Venice, Portuguese Militia, the powerful cavalry of Malta, the Swiss Guard of the Papal State, and many others. For the factions of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies and the Savoy / Kingdom of Italy will have the opportunity to recruit the Garibaldians only if the faction will become, during the campaign, a Republic.
In addition to adding the military units mod also adds historical references on the factions unlocked and on some units.
The gameplay will be improved by ensuring a more intelligent AI, the campaign will be more difficult IA proposing a more strategic and less prone to suicide, the battles will be more challenging with AI that will try in every way to overcome you.
All of these implementations have been realized with the right ratio to balance the strength of each faction unlocked with those originating in the game. The campaign of 1700 will also include the faction of the Pirates in command with the famous Edward Teach better known as Blackbeard, as well as ground units there are also implementations in the fleet where you can choose to drive three of elite pirate ships, the Queen Anne's Revenge Blackbeard, the pirate's Fortune Royale Black Bart and the famous, but imaginary, Black Pearl of captain Jack Sparrow, so be careful in the Caribbean!
There will also be the opportunity to launch a campaign between the years 1700 and 1799 or between years 1789 and 1860 (where you can also use the United States, Greece, Scotland, France Republican and Kingdom of Italy), in both campaigns will be able to choose how many rounds will include a year (2, 4 or 6).
The mod also includes other improvements and new textures to make the game more realistic and truthful, there will be sounds of muskets and cannons improved strategic map with finer detail, the fleet, at least for the most important factions of the game, will have its own color faction, the flags will be changed with original features, the background music will be completely refurbished both on the strategic map for the battles.

help me i hav just install ETW and installed the mod in its folder...
i did the modmanager by clicking all the IT_...
but with i start the game it crashes to desktop.. if i unselect all the modz in modmanager the games starts but i cant start any campaign
I don't like the creators not responding to people even after they have moved on, then they should take their mod off.
Anyways... if you are running other mods such as Darth or Imperial, it may not work. Pretty much what I do when I run into that, in the mod manager unclick or turn off the mods you think may be preventing the one ya want to play with. They all arent compatible with one another. Process of elimination of sorts. If in the end if its not working, it a dead mod, meaning the CREATOR has moved on and no longer updates it to work....yet it remains downloadable to the world. It's frustrating and no one coached me on any of this mod stuff, all self learned through cussing, migraines, and tobacco overdrive. If you're a newb to modding, good thing I read the posts. Dont be afraid to ask me questions.
Hope it helps, cheers!
BTW - back up your games before modding any of the files... found that out the hard way unless you have steam.
Still looking for the name of the music used in the main menu :/
i only played the mod for a bit, but to me it sounded like 2 steps from hell - el dorado

I've done everything possible, but it's still in Italian and I can't change the campaign (Scotland is nonexistent except for small battles)
The game saves can't be load after a while, it crashes to desktop with this mod
