[Primergy]

[Hinkel]

Okay, that's fine, I assumed all you were doing was copying stuff over

Um no.. there will be lot of new things for NTW, which you can already see on the screenshots..

[Karlovacko]

Im looking forward to it!

Im curious, will it be difficult to incorporate North America in the mod... This could be really awesome

This mod is just for multiplayer battles at the moment. We can't make new campaign maps, so you won't see a campaign version for NTW this year. Maybe for christmas 2012 ..

[airborne guy]

Wow, thats a while from now. Is it that hard to do?

There are some basic research on that topic, but there is lot of unknown land for campaign map editing, like path-finding, making new provinces and cities on the map and so on.
Without any help or official tools, you can't build your own campaign map. And I think it won't be ever possible (for ETW, NTW or Shogun2) ..

WOW!!! I cannot wait to play this on NTW!! I must say that I was disappointed with the ETW version in 2.6 as the AI was allover the place!! sorry to be pesimistic as you have all done a wonderful job with this mod, keep up the good work and +rep

[rohan97]

is there a new system for battles

[Primergy]

It's mostly the same engine so what different "system for battles" do you expect?

[Blackhawk!]

Very realistic!

[killervomit2]

awesome, good luck changing the campaign map

awesome, good luck changing the campaign map

As you should read on the first page, this is just a battle mod. There is no campaign..
If you would like to play a civil war campaign, play our ETW civil war mod

[The True Roman]

can't wait to see the 54th of Massachusetts

[Ftmch]

Looks great guys, I'm really looking forward to this. I can see many battles in my future. I'm gonna keep an eye out for this one!

like 3.0

[Primergy]

You mean the different Corps instead of factions like Union or the Confederacy?

I'm still undecided on this topic, to be honest.

Congratulations team,looking great!

I will download it soon.
Looks impressive.

One question.
which map is the one with the cornfield?

That is a secret, new historical map...
For Empire, we have 6 historical battlefields so far, which shows nearly 100% of the historical terrain
Some of them might get an adjustment too, with our newly created objects (like historical buildings), trees and other stuff (like new corn flowers).
