    Realistic Artillery mod for ETW



    The purpose of this mod is to give a more realistic and historical experience regarding land artillery warfare in the Empire Total War game that is not offered by the vanilla game. I got inspired to make this mod after visiting Fort Nelson, Royal Armouries in September 2016, which boasts many interesting guns and artillery pieces from the ETW timeframe.

    The following contents are included in this mod, which is based on my work with the original Diverse Artillery mod for NTW and the additional changes included in LME:
    • Complete rework of all artillery gun, units, rosters etc.
    • Complete rework of projectiles behaviour based on projectile size or weight and country of use, which is accomplished by introducing new cannon projectiles and gun types.
    • Projectile trails dimmed compared to vanilla
    • New UI icons with calibre number to distinguish between different types of guns
    • Modified projectile effects

    Installation:
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    Download and unpack the rar file containing the “rae_1_0.pack” file to your data folder (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Empire Total War\data)

    Download and unpack (also attached) the other rar file containing the custom made UPC file (credit to Swiss Halberdier for the baseline UPC file) “nse_rae_unit_pack_compatibility_project_empire_v6_7_english.pack” to your data folder.

    The mod is mod packed so just place the rae_1_0.pack file and the text file referenced above in your “data” folder and the user.empire_script.txt file (attached) into your “scripts” folder. Alternatively add the following entry to your current script file: mod rae_1_0.pack;

    The mod should be compatible with most other mods that do not artillery projectiles and rosters etc.

    Just Remember to have only one text file in the “data” folder.

    Unfortunately not included in the mod. I don't have the right skills to make the models

    It is a pity, but still great work done.

    So I'm guessing this isn't compatible with Imperial Destroyer mod?

    I have no idea. My advice would be to give it a try and let us know if it is compatible or not?

    Hey there, just wanted to thank you for the mod. The only mod out there that can finally increase cannon numbers in Imperial Destroyer Mod. Great Job Lutland! It works with Imperial Destroyer!

    My only problems are that unit names fail to display correctly (You mention an above mentioned text in the installation instructions but I didn't exactly get what you're referring to there?), and the fact that Ottomans don't have Howitzers in their roster. Is there any way to add Howitzers to Ottoman faction?? Even the Safavids got theirs!
