[metenojo]

I'm in serious troubles in the 6.4,playing France.The British are landing constantly ,I simple can advance.Even the Austrians defeats me.And i haven't money problems.I m not a good general for sure,but your mod helps a lot.I will try this new version son,and another faction.Dont give up .We are few but good. Your fans,I mean, WilliVonBill "e aqui o je".

[WilliVonBill]

Great mod...ANNOYING MUSIC!..better to just let the game sounds play. GAWSH!

Yes, great mod!

I'm not sure I know what you mean about the music... the only music that's been changed is the drum cadence during battles, so I guess it's the stock music that is annoying? No problem... plenty of really good music mods out there!

I like to think that there are lot more folks out there that enjoy this mod as much as you and I, Metenojo! They're just a bit on the quiet side, thats all!

Besides, I think we hear few comments because this mod is wonderfully stable. Not much to complain about at all!

[metenojo]

Thats right,I cant find any thing unbalanced,the units dont rout to much nor fight untill the last men,the arty dont decimete to much nor to few,the fire volleys kills the right amount of soldiers,the battles last the correct time ,the AI build the correct amount of units ,I dont see AI spam armies all over the map but I never fought a battle against less than 10. units army.This mod is balanced between reality and game play.

[pajomife]

I don't know if my last version is stable,i have some CTDs when I load some battles,I fix this removing some units ,mainly cannons ,from the army and use it as reinforcements.But as nobody else complains...

[WilliVonBill]

I haven't had any problems yet, but I'll let you know if I do. What artillery units are giving you trouble? Let me know and I'll see if I can reproduce your CTD in custom battle.

It happens once ,when I attack a Hessian city,but I fought battles with that army before and after those CTD.I just have 2GB and a 256MB video card ,maybe I pushed to much for my PC .
Now just wait for AUM 2.0 .

[WilliVonBill]

Ya, that could be it. Anyway, I'm glad its not giving you any more problems. I'll let you know if I have any issues with the mod, but so far its as smooth as silk for me!

Hi mate this mod looks really interesting... i wonder, will it ,or is it compatible with barts_mod and georiders, and other skin packs that adds units to game.

[WilliVonBill]

I don't think they'd be directly compatible with the mod, but you could always modify bart's or georider's unit mods to be compatible. It's not too difficult to do using PFM. I personally use bart's unit mod along with IWM. It's just a matter of disabling any duplicate units (usually the KGL units) and modifiying the unit stats to be more in line with Pajomife's unit stats. Just make sure you load your now modified unit mod in front of the core IWM file through ModManager.

Thats one of the things I really like about IWM. It's a clean and stable mod that addresses core issues with NTW without throwing in a lot of other mods that I may or may not like to use. Its actually pretty easy to tweak and add to. I'd recommend that you give IWM a whirl as is to see if you like the strategic and tactical aspects of the mod. If so, then start modding your favorite unit mods to be compatible with IWM. Personally I've tried all of the other mods out there... and they are quite good, each in its own way. But I find that I keep coming back to IWM. IMHO, I think this is one of the best mods out there (especially the tactical balance of the units). This mod may not get the 'fanfare' of other mods, but its a keeper!

[pajomife]

Tanks again for your support WilliVonBill.
@gary This mod should be compatible with other units mods ,mainly because I use the Unit Pack Compatibility Project - Napoleon (UPC-NAP)from Swiss Halberdier,http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...hp?t=338582,as this UPC supports the barts units ,you will see the barts units descriptions at least.
But as I change the units stats ,and some units numbers ,the mods added by you should be tweaked by you,I mean you should use the PFM to approach the stats I change,like the accuracy,the reload skill,that I reduce to prevent the kill fest ,and the number of ranks(I use 5 and 4 )because the most part of mods use 3 ranks and some units could be duplicated and cause some ctds ,I don't know,just try,I use the AUM units ,courtesy of Swiss Halberdier,and that's enougth ,I don't use all the mods just because they are there,mainly because I have many technical limitations,but because it could cause many problems.

Another point.If my mod campaign is fine ,is due the base mod,Tyrant Mod ,I use their mod as base to mine,he spends a lot of time trying to find solutions for the AI,Dogmet ,is.IMO the Napoleon Darth modder.,http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=337787. I just cant take other people credits.

Congratulations for the 300 downloads,and not a single complain,or the mod is to good or people DL but dont play it. lol. As Im in serious troubles in the previous version I will try the new one, the french campaign is almost unplayable ,just in the second game spring ,the brits landing in Normandy and conquer 2 provinces,but they dont keep it, they raid all my buildings and now I have to deal with a full british army and at least a Bretain rebel army.

Ok, you may confess,you ,made 150 and VonBill another 150 .

"Ok, you may confess,you ,made 150 and VonBill another 150"

Drat! You're on to our clever ploy!!

[WilliVonBill]

Well Pajomife, it looks like you are closing in on 400 downloads for version 7! If you're not careful, this might just catch on!

And no complaints about CTDs or assorted strangeness in the mod... really quite a testament to the stablility of your mod.

Have you considered incorporating Bart 07's extra units into a future version of the mod? He has some really tasty units in there. Just a thought....

[metenojo]

400 downloads ,congratulations.And not a single comment,besids me and Wily,I have to admire your preserverce ,some people think that the mods are a right not a gift.

[pajomife]

Its to much for me Willy,and metenojo the perseverance have a limit. I quit. Just add AUM 2 ,if it appears.

[WilliVonBill]

I understand, Pajomife... keeping up a mod kind of grinds on you after a while.

I still think this is the best mod out there. Thanks for sharing it with us!

[pajomife]

Updated.

[WilliVonBill]

Sweet! Will give it a go as soon as I can download it.

I guess we're still having some website strangeness; can't download the file. I'll try again in a bit.
