Yeah the battles are the same old,
but strategic considerations in and I actuallly enjoyed it

Are there any good Russian unit packs out there other than the EB's Foreign Legions Mod?

**MRENGLISHRULES** · May 07, 2014, 04:47 AM

i would highly recormend the all in one mod. it features over 100 mods including loads of submods and unit packs.

**napoleon boneaparte** · May 07, 2014, 07:17 AM

It doesn't seem to have any Russian unit packs. I already have plenty of units for the French and the rest of the Coalition.

An interesting gameplay features DarthMod, but only with Bran's settings.

Realism can be found in NER and Napoelonic 4.0

To have it all I suggest LME4.

Masters of Europe looks very promising

You can install multiple mods at the same time, if in the steam common folder you create additional copies of the game by changing the name of the root folder of the game, for example: Napoleon Total War, 111Napoleon Total War, 222Napoleon Total War. The same thing you do with a hidden folder in AppData for every mod.

I assume you're familiar with the gamepley in Empire TW, but if you aren't familiar with it then I suggest that you play this mod which allow you to build whatever you want instead of having only a few related buildings e.g resource buildings like a factory. Remember that mod shouldn't be used with Napoleon Total Combat since the mod is already included in NTC.

If you really want to get yourself familiar with NTW gameplay then play the tutorial and I did that when I played NTW for the first time, but after a while I got bored. Later I started to play the Peninsular campaign which was easier to understand how NTW really works.

The NTC mod is a nice addition to the Peninsular Campaign, so give it a try and I think you're gonna to love it.

The most popular mod except for DarthMod Napoleon that exist is probably HusserlTW's Napoleon Total Factions, which is compatible with both DMN and NTC, but not with both mods at the same time IIRC.

Unfortunately, that seems to be an entire overhaul than a single unit pack...

**Mattias Tannhäuser** · May 08, 2014, 06:32 AM

Yes, but the mod has been divided into parts, so you can take everything what interests you. I read your posts, so I know that you know how to use PFM in case of problems

**napoleon boneaparte** · May 09, 2014, 04:39 AM

STALKER!

Masters of Europe as a full Russian roster with new textures (including 3 periods for the uniforms). But it's mostly for custom battes, not really usable in campaign yet.

**ActaNonVerba** · May 30, 2014, 12:29 PM

Does anyone here know a good alternative for Duffers' Render Mod? It's been a very, VERY long time since the last time played Napoleon. Trying to find the mod (it really helps for a low-end laptop), but unfortunately it's no longer here. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

**Mattias Tannhäuser** · May 30, 2014, 01:39 PM

I do not know if there is another version, but I found it and downloaded:

**ActaNonVerba** · May 31, 2014, 12:36 AM

Ah, you found the same file as well. I've downloaded it yesterday, but it doesn't look like it changed anything. Thanks for helping, though.

What key game mechanics separate this Total War game from Empire? Not sure if this was the place to ask this question.

You cant form square when cavalry or infantry makes contact with your men. Also Guard Mode doesnt work (big surprise huh?). Thats all there is to it really

Hello all, I was wondering if some of you could give me a good recommendation for a head-to-head MP campaign. I have the intention to play it with a friend, but no intention to play vanilla. Is there one that makes a good job by balancing gameplay, but without adding too many things to the core game? My main concerns are balance/historical accuracy and mod stability. I was thinking that NER could be a good alternative, but I could be misinformed.
