    Default Emperor Batman's Marching Bands: The Music of War

    Pre-word. This mod was inspired by Brigadier Graham's similar mod series for Empire: Total War. He pioneered the original idea.


    The Mod in Action.



    Versions of the Mod.
    This mod creates a new band unit that plays marching music in battle to increase the morale of friendly troops.

    This is the list of factions and what tunes are played. I tried to remain historical to the Napoleonic period with the music selection.

    Prussia:
    Hohenfriedberger Marsch
    Yorcksher Marsch
    Marsch Herzog von Braunchweig
    March of the 1st Guard Battalion
    Freiwillingen Jagers Marsch
    Alexander Marsch

    Austria:
    Coburger Marsch
    Unknown March written in 1800
    Radetzky Marsch (Ahistorical, but a good one)
    The Austrian Grenadiers March
    March of the 3rd Royal Landwehr Battalion
    Prinz Eugen Marsch

    Russia:
    March of the Lifeguard Cossacks (I think a little after the period, also known as the Wedding March)
    Preobrazhensky March
    Semenovsky March
    Frederick-Wilhelm III St. Petersburg Regiment March (Copied from a similar march by the Prussians)
    Jagers March (another copy from the Prussians)
    Iszmailovsky Guard March

    France:
    Pas de Charge of the Marines of the Guard - La Victoire est a Nous
    La Victoire est a Nous (The Victory is Ours, Standalone)
    La Grenadiere
    Pas de Accelere
    March of the Grognards
    Bonnets a Poil

    Britain:
    Rule Britannia
    The British Grenadiers
    Over the Hills and Far Away
    Liliburlero
    The Girl I Left Behind Me/Brighton Camp
    The Downfall of Paris

    Scottish Bagpipe Marches for Britain and Scotland:
    Cock o' the North (the Gordon Highlanders March, featured in the movie Waterloo)
    Scotland the Brave
    Amazing Grace (Really amazing when this plays with the reinforcements to save the day)
    Black Bear
    Highland Laddie


    A few notes and warnings.
    The way the NTW music files are set up, your army will only play one of the marches. However, in battle if there a reinforcing army has a band, it will play a different tune from the main army.

    It is also very important that you use only one mod at a time, otherwise there will be conflicts. Only activate the band mod for whatever faction you're playing as.

    Also please feel free to suggest improvements and new songs.




    Installation.
    1. Download the mod http://www.mediafire.com/?ne8nconbnq94ode.
    2. Unzip any/all of the band mods and the also unzip the Universal_Compatibility_Loc and place the files in your data folder (Program Files/Steam/SteamApps/Napoleon Total War/Data)
    3. Activate a mod with mod manager or user.script and enjoy. Only use one at a time!
