The NTW2 Waterloo MP Faction Pack is out.

[Lord Zimoa]

The Lordz are very proud and pleased to announce the NTW2 Factions Pack. This is a full installation and does not require any older version of NTW2 to be installed first. You need Rome Total War v1.5 to run this mod.


Patch, Updates and New Material

NEW FACTIONS
-United Netherlands: A multinational army composed of Dutchmen, Belgians and regiments from Nassau. They lack Guard units, have limited artillery and cavalry, but a wide variation of infantry regiments, reinforced by capable militia units.
-Prussia: A flexible unit selection including riflemen (Schuetzen, Jaeger) and heavy lancers. The Prussian infantry have good defensive fighting skills but their artillery is badly managed, resulting in a higher cost.
-Brunswick: A minor faction that can only field very small armies. This faction is not meant for competitive play, but to balance easily defendable maps or skill differences between players or teams.

NEW MAPS

-More then 25 new (unofficial) maps made by members from the NTW community, bringing the total to 46 maps

BALANCE CHANGES

-Musket system revised, deep formations are now more vulnerable to musket fire
-All Light infantry -1 morale
-All Light infantry now has normal reload speed
-Artillery range decreased
-6-Pounder now has only 1 gun, cost decreased to 150f
-6-Pounder canister range increased
-6-Pounder reload faster
-French Middle Guard, Old Guard and Grenadiers à Cheval lost their "Frightens enemy infantry" attribute.
-Russian Musketeers and Jaegers +5 Charge
-British Foot Guard more expensive
-Pavlov Grenadiers 800f instead of 850f

[SweetDreamz]

Thank you again SD.

[KALI]

Overwhelmingly beautiful mod,
I'm in raptures,

[AUTS]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

lobby down can't play online

although Im disapointed about Brunswick

I mean it would propably be even better if those guys wouldnt be even this game, if you gona keep them like that


anyway, it looks better.

I even think that my muskets made friendly fire and killed my men :O

if thats true... NICE WORK!

The Brunswick are for more experienced players best used in 3v3 MP games and defending. I love them, a real challenge.

I played Brunswick in a 1v1 testgame, defending a little town against a prussian army. Was great fun and I nearly managed to win. If you intend to use them for competitive play you're gonna be disappointed.

[Titus]

Thank you lordz!!! Done a great job guys. Oh can you install this over previous NTW2 ? Edit- Also on mega upload it says 0.2.5 I thought it was 0.2.6?

[Adherbal]

yes you can install it over any version, and dont worry about that filename

[Angmar_nite]

YES!!!! Some ray of light after the gamstop tyrants said they would release M2TW THE 15TH!!!

[Atterdag]

I just got the whole Hornblower box, so this is most welcome.

Perhabs one should abbandon the hauberk, spangenhelm and sword in favour of the redcoat and musket.

[OG Grenadier]

Huzzah!

[Mooncabbage]

Huzzah! I downloaded it the instant I saw the link ^^.

Now I just have to find RTW, and reinstall/patch it

[KLAssurbanipal]

Yes!!! heheheh
I download it.

[Raguel]

Hmmm,
Brunswick, 14 units at 11k, only if you take 3 guns, are you guys sure you want the faction to be that useless?

[Sardonicus]

Well I downloaded it and will give it a go but the last 4 mods I've tried for RTW have been CTD fests.
Think I've tried almost every mod. I hope this one's playable.
Looks cool.
Uhhh, no campaign?
Guess I shoulda read the FAQ..
Oh well uninstall, back to vanilla.


ok I played a few custom battles. The skins are very well done and everything looks great including the interface and such.
There was a bit of a disconnect between the time you heard the muskets fire and the appearance of smoke from the musket barrels, ie you would hear the muskets crack and a second or two later see the smoke, while on other occasions you would see the smoke and a couple seconds later hear the muskets crack.

An ambitious effort, and great custom battles, but custom battles just aren't enough to keep me interested and I dislike mp. Stability is excellent though.

[Pent uP Rage]

I love NTW2...will we EVER see a campaign???

[Lord Zimoa]

Glad you like it. We are working finishing the Austrians at the moment.
