NTW3|Version 3.1 Released

[Feldmarschall Blücher]

Any News about the Cammpaign?

Installation.

Before applying the patch you must have the current v3 version installed.
It is probably best to remove all non-NTW3 mods from the data folder, but this is not necessary, in theory.

Download the installer from the link below.
Run the installer & it will update NTW3 automatically, providing N:TW is installed in the default location.
If it's not you will just need to point the installer to the location & it will do the rest.

When you go to play use the NTW3 icon as usual.
If it is patched correctly the small red text in the start-up screen should now say Version 3.1.

Changes for v3.1

Here is a list of the changes coming in v3.1. It is not exhaustive, I don’t propose to list every minor stat’ change.

Infantry

Slightly faster movement
Slightly faster fire rate (to compensate for move increase)
Faster charge for Grenadiers
A few more inspiring units.

Cavalry

Slightly faster movement.
Acceleration decreased.

Artillery

Faster movement, heavy guns getting the biggest boost.
Slightly faster pivot
Faster canister reload.
Slightly tighter canister blast cone
More canister pellets for 8pdr & heavier guns
More accurate rounds hot
Slightly faster reload for roundshot.

Morale

Rally time reduced from 90 to 60 seconds
Under musket fire debuff reduced
Effect of recent casualties reduced slightly
Charge debuff increased (to compensate for other changes).
General dead from 0 to +1 (compensates for loosing ‘general is alive’ bonus)

Fatigue

Running cost reduced by 10%
Recovery rate increased by 20%
Melee/Charge cost increased
Melee effect of exhausted reduced

Extra units

Ottoman Heavy Lancer, horse artillery & guerilla infantry
Naples: Royal African Battalion
Spanish: Elite Dragoon, additional guard unit
Replaced DLC units: French 5th Hussars, 7th Lancers

Miscellaneous

This is not a complete list.
There were many small stat changes, as well as units size, cost & max’ number of units alterations.
This is where many of Cosak’s tweaks, & input by Uxbridge on the Spanish & Ottomans, was included.

Square bonus reduced (substantially)
General’s defence reduced
Gods & Czar’s gentlemen file spacing reduced
Most Elite infantry have lost ‘national characteristics’ fire reductions
New Ottoman & Spanish uniforms
Cossacks increased charge, reduced defence
Extra ranks firing issue (mainly Ottomans) addressed
Ottoman cavalry better shooting
Saxon cavalry slightly cheaper
Limit on number of British line.
Some Spanish units increased in size.
Adjustments to road movement (faster).
Terrain effects smoothed out.

Historical Battles

Several have been updated

Campaign

Sorry but no campaign update, that Lord is still out of action.
We hope for his work sometime soon.

Wars in the Americas

This is still in the beta stage.
Infantry unit sizes increased.
All unit costing now based on a formula to balance price/power.

Thanks for bringing up here to TWCenter these great news! I hope someday TWCenter moderators could upload this new to the main board in order to attract people to this amazing modification!

[AndyMoszejevsky]

Unfortunately our SP modder has gone missing. But if not him, then someone else will take care of the SP campaign.

[McScottish]

Darnnations! Ah well, I shall await the day when I can play an SP campaign. And it shall be glorious!

[Liberalis Bellatricus]

And it shall not be too far away.

[Menumorut]

one of best mods i have ever played

[NEILHEEL]

So is there no Campaign of yet? Just MP battles?
Still playing v2.0 for the campaign, will be so happy when it comes out!
Nice mod.

[Liberalis Bellatricus]

The SP campaign is being updated to version 3.1 as we speak.
It'll take some time though to be ready for the next release as we're planning to do a major cleaning of the db.
Version 3.1 has had a 30% decrease in memory usage during MP games.
We'll try to do the same with the rest of the mod files.

I'd like to thank our new Lord Cosak for all his technical expertise, without which this wouldn't have been possible.
If you read this, thanks mate !

I suddenly felt like installing NTW
