NTW3 is pretty good

For those of you who are not familiar with NTW3 its a mod for NTW with which adds a ton of more maps,units and all factions playable.
http://thelordz.org/
Just go to their forums and apply to be a beta tester then after your approval they will give you the dl for the mod.
Its really what ntw vanilla online shoulda been and puts a whole new spin on the game.
You also need to dl the mod manager if your interested no worries you can still play vanilla if you want.

nice, i think dunkfunk mentioned this a couple times

your quite right i did. I LOVE this mod, the fog of war in battles is a really nice touch of realism and suspense.

a quick changelog from what i can remember

- light infantry given the ability to square but suck violently in melee
- morale tweeked being flanked is absolute panic in the ranks but units recover quickly if not harrased by light cav
-grenadiers unit size increased, now a viable option.
-Musket lethality changed at max range kills are maybe 1-2, close range devastating.
-lancers not as effective but still highly dangerous in skilled hands.
- heavy cav ABSOLUTELY devastating on the charge if infantry do not square they will be destroyed in seconds.
- Minor nations now available Poland, Denmark, Saxony, Westphalia, Hessen, Wurtemburg, Sweden, The Dutch all playable with new rosters for all.

These guys have worked their hands to the bone to create NEW MAPS as well as revised versions of the old ones they are huge maps designed for massive 3v3 4v4 battles. I strongly recommend just trying it even just ONCE it will take all of 10 minutes to register then you have to get The Lordz to confirm your account.




This is a Multiplayer Mod first and foremost. It is still in beta and always in need of more beta testers.

this mod works perfectly side by side with vanilla its as easy as pressing a button to switch between the two.

(btw dont save ntw3 armies and then try and play vanilla, it crashes the game and took me a while to figure out what was going on)

I hope it becomes open beta soon

It is open to one and all.....you just need to go to their site and register then ask to be a tester and you will added as a tester.

Sounds decent, but unless all the major clans pick this up it won't get popular

its till in it beta atm fine tuning alot of things.

Just curious, how many people play it regularly? That is, will I be able to get a game often?

how (well) do 1vs1s and 2vs2s play?

every game type is fine, the only thing with 1v1's is the maps are quite large and at the end when a few units come back from routing this can drag the game out.

I just made an account on the Lordz forums. I'm going to register for the beta, maybe get a few clanmates to do the same.

They just released a new version today be sure to try and get the latest version

Open beta will start soon, so it will be available to everyone shortly.

The mod is out link is here http://www.thelordz.org/forum/viewto...?f=138&t=11840

You got to get this mod if you want realism or atleast 10x more of it than in other TW games.

Can someone clarify wether or not that the download needs unpacking or not I saw it was a .rar file format and will not touch it if it does require unpacking or anyof the sort. If it doesnt is it like the darthmod download for those of you who downloaded it where it does everything for you.

Thanks, Fuzzy

the mod has a full installer you just need to click next a few times and its done.

Sweet thanks mate I cant wait to try this out now

Well it isnt exactly an auto installer but I have it downloaded now so do I put it in one of nappys folders? If so which one? Or am I completly wrong lol? Also sorry for all these questions I dont want to mess up nappy or my computer again.

Let the auto installer run and it should point on this path.
