Some new units from the Peninsular Campaign
Just so we're absolutely clear you do need the Peninsular Campaign DLC to get the new units and factions. If I am wrong tell me and I will remove the mods immediately.
To install just extract the pack file to your Napoleon: Total War data folder
I now also have a version of the mod that only unlocks factions so that the mod may work with mods that edit the units_tables
Heartbraker's Tighter Formation Mod Version 4
I know that there are already a few other tighter formation mods available, but mine is unique in that it tightens the formations of dismounted dragoons.
I have updated the mod to also tighten the formations of the new units in the free DLC, coalition DLC, and Peninsular Campaign DLC.
Here are some screenshots of both mods
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Armed Citizenry
Brunswick Line Infantry
Dutch Light Dragoons
Kings German Legion Light Foot
Kings German Legion Foot
Overhead View of the Line
Overhead View of Dragoons
To Install extract the pack file to your Napoleon: Total War data folder.
I have not tested these mods with many other mods. the ones that I am currently using are the blood mod, NTF, and Radious sound mod. If you have any problems please post on this thread and tell me what other mods you are using.

Like Josst said, you have unlocked the units for people who don't have the DLC.
That dude from CA posted a thread on it.
Does this mod unlock the factions and units for people who don't have the DLC? I can't test this, so if anyone can tell me for sure I will appreciate it.

I have most all of the DLC but I can tell you that at least it doesn't unlock any of the "prepurchase" DLC like the Scots Greys or anything like that.
Also, there are a lot of factions I can't play as because they're off the screen. Would it be at all possible to make a scroll bar? I don't know the limits of what can and can't be modded into this.
Anyway, I've really enjoyed playing this mod a lot +Rep

Hello Heartbraker, yes I second that and it would be very helpful if we could get some feedback from players that don't have the latest PEN DLC.

Sorry about the slow reply, I have been without internet for a while. From your list of mods it is most likely a compatibility issue, I'm guessing either the old guard mod or Panzershreck's mod. Any mod that edits the units_stats_land table is incompatible with mine. You may want to try Toon Total War's all-in-one mod as it might already have some of your mods in it.

There's a readme file in the download which tells you how to swap the factions.

hey, nice mod.
i have one problem. when i want to play a custom battle, some factions doesnt appear because they cant be seen in the screen. i mean, i cant pplay with some factions because they don appear in the screen
Re: Heartbraker's Custom Battle Unit and Faction Unlocker V2 (6/22/10) and Tighter Formation Mod V4 (6/22/2010)
I hate to bump this, but that readme explains pretty much nothing.
I imagine that early and late availability columns are found in the unlocker_factions file but I couldn't find them even after using search in notepad++.
Even if I did find them, I have no idea what to do when I do. Do I set some of them to "late" availability if I want to remove them from the factions list in the custom battle mode? Or is there something else?
