LME4 Preview

[Iutland]

The time has come to release the fourth major release of LME. This is not an "Epic Version" nor a "Platinum Edition" but it is the definitive version from my hands. I cannot give you "Satisfaction Guaranteed" but I can only hope you will enjoy playing the mod and appreciate the big effort that created it!

LME4 features an added 1792 French Revolution campaign that tries to reflect the situation in Europe prior to the War of the First Coalition in 1793. The most remarkable difference to the 1796 is the inclusion of the French Royalist faction situated in the Western parts of France with Louis Joseph, Prince of Condé as faction leader. Moreover the Polish-Lithuanian faction is playable and resembles as much as possible the situation before the second partition of Poland.
The new 1792 is implemented with the same level of details that you’ve been accustomed to with LME including:

• Complete overhaul of the campaign setup regarding factions, regions, generals, portraits, units, diplomacy, victory conditions etc.
• A number of added new naval units (Revolution campaigns only), and some Émigrè units available for Britain instead of KGL units
• Extensive French Royalist unit roster and uniform rework (from ROW)
• French Republic uniform rework (from ROW)
• Russian uniform rework (from ROW)

In addition to that the 1796 and 1815 campaigns have received an update.

The following additions/changes apply for the LME4 version:

• Extensive French Royalist unit roster and uniform rework for all campaigns replacing Brittany
• Extensive Hanoverian unit roster and uniform rework
• Serbian (1815) unit roster and uniform rework
• Greek unit roster and uniform rework
• More than 100 new land units and 16 new naval units added distributed amongst most factions. Especially Spain, Switzerland and the French Royalists have received some attention. Thanks to Spanky for Swiss uniform source information and thanks to players that submitted special unit requests at TWC LME forum
• Customized text added to many new units
• France has access to special “Rheinbund” units in the minor German countries
• Extensive CAI update in basic LME4 providing an interesting gameplay compared with previous versions. Changes covering aspects such as economy, traits, and AI behavior
• An updated BAI that has a better cavalry vs infantry (attack/defence) balance as well as less deadly musket fire at maximum range
• Some campaign missions are updated
• Thanks to General Andy for granting permission to include his excellent Brown Bess Musket Sounds. X-Factor and USM submods will not overwrite these sound files!
• Battle map buildings are now more shot resistant (by community request)
• General and Light cavalry units moves at a slower pace now (by community request)
• Naval units recruitment costs increased (by community request)
• Smoke effects differentiated much better now and also results in less dense smoke (more GPU friendly)
• Patch6 units adapted
• An additional number of French units are now also available in the Peninsular campaign including Pdguru’s
• Pdguru unit submod received a minor update
• MAUM submod received a minor update
• UAI submod updated to v.2.0 (naval supremacy) by The Hedge Knight
• Attack Copenhagen bug fixed
• Howitzer vs. Cannon AI recruitment bug fixed
• Non-English text packs missing LME text is corrected
• Belgium has full diplomacy capability now
• Many other minor changes included

The LME mod launcher is updated to accommodate the new 1792 campaign and includes persistence of user submod selection. This means that next time you start up the mod launcher your last submod selection will be active (implemented after community request).

Very droll+Rep for the Rooster. Bug fixed

CHOOSE YOUR SIDE, LME4 IS HERE

[jan_boruta]

Iutland, I have just installed and customised Darthmod Empire 8.0 to plunge into it... and now you release LME 4. I sense a rapid decrease in my overall productivity. Great job, utterly great job. I've never played any other Napoleon mod than LME and now you make this choice even more obvious. I'll certainly try out 1792 campaign first as Poland-Lithuania and try to avert the partitions!

Thanks Jan appreciated

I just discovered (after the release) that there is a minor problem with the 1792 campaign since Poland-Lithuania and French Royalists can recruit Generals and Admirals. This Hotfix1 must be unpacked to the data folder before starting any campaign and fixes the issue. Information will be added to download thread.
