Good day to all,


My name is Richard Margetts and I'm a professional leading Historian who has participated in Marshal Beale's Mod, Revolution of War.


Together with my good friend Deejay, whose idea it was to start on this Mod and a great historian himself, even at 10 years younger than me is a fine NTW fan and a great friend, we are producing, as if directors of a movie would, an epic Napoleon Total War Mod. This Mod will basically give NTW fans what they wanted and deserved and didn't get from the original game from Creative Arts.


This Mod will be set in the same era that is presented in the original game, the Napoleonic Years from 1805 onwards. The stage Deejay and I are currently at is the research stage of the production, with all new military units that CA missed, and a game that not only represents the era with sounds and environmental differences and historic knowledge, but also gives the Total War fan what they want and should have played.


We wish to to correct flags/banners, not only for the major nations but for all army regiments, we then want the correct kill ratio for musket fire with the correct ranges used.

We are going to allow all infantry units to be able to form square, but taking into account the advantage that cavalry charges would have on skirmishing units in squared formation, this detailing the Army Law Code which was presented at that era.


We want full cries from all nations, one example being the French troops reigning Viva L'Empereur from East to West over the battlefield, correctly moving to drum beats that represent the changes of battlefield deployment.


Deejay and I have put our heads together, gained books from amazon.com to help us fulfil what NTW should have been, more units to all nations, many that have been vital contributors of the era, honouring their nations with great charges and accomplishments of feat, the battle order was a big issue in NTW for me and this will be a major change in this Mod, this will let loose many different types of units not going under one name. Example the French Old Guard, which was a unit of order and not a single unit as CA gave you, The French Old Guard, or Imperial Guard as they were also known was a name given to infantry, cavalry and artillery that were older recruits and which excelled for Napoleon in many campaigns and battles and placed into many different named units, example the infantry correctly named as Foot Chasseurs of the Imperial Guard and Foot Grenadiers of the Imperial Guard.


I could go on for ages explaining more and more changes that will be seen in this Mod, but the reason I tell a tale of this Mod is because we require extra people willing to contribute their skills in this Mod, and make this Mod not only epic but the greatest Mod of all time, going into as much detail which is allowed to be changed on the original game, but also to stick it to CA and show them what they should have given their loyal customers of their franchise Total War.


Please contact me if you wish to participate your skills in this Mod, I would be more than grateful for anyone to offer their skills to make this Mod epic and a game which can not only make you just say I fancy a wee battle today, but to feel 100% like you're in the Napoleonic battle environment.
