    Naval Supremacy of Empires, a naval overhaul mod for ETW



    The purpose of this mod is to give a more historical experience regarding naval warfare in the Empire Total War game that is not offered by the vanilla game. I got inspired to make this mod after visiting the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard in September 2016, which included a visit onboard HMS Victory.


    The following contents are included in this mod, which is based on my work with the original Naval Supremacy mod for NTW and the additional changes included in LME:
    • Completely reworked naval rosters and added many historical ships with original names to the major seafaring nations at the height of the enlightenment age. Named ships has UI icons with flags as in LME
    • Changed the hull colours of Russian, British (default), French and Spanish ships loosely based on historical sources. The hulls also has less “Swiss-cheese” visual appearance due to cannonball impacts
    • Realistic naval gunnery and combat. Ships will more seldom sink but instead surrender due to being dismasted or losing its crew/cannons
    • Realistic sailing characteristics
    • Reworked naval jacks for the factions that was possible to research
    • Named ships and classes are available for recruitment at roughly the correct time (i.e. early or late) in the 18th century. This means that an early ships is not available at higher tier buildings, but is available at lower tier buildings instead. An example is British 1st Rate Royal George that is only available in Dockyard and Dry dock buildings

    All ships are as historical correctly implemented as possible within the limits CA provides regarding ship model and gun placement (Ref 1, 2, 3, and 4).

    All projectiles, guns and damage model are reworked and grape shots contain 3x3 smaller balls. The smaller balls increase by size and damage model with increasing gun size.


    Installation:
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    Download and unpack the rar file containing the “nse_1_0.pack” file to your data folder (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Empire Total War\data)

    Download (also attached this post) unpack the other rar file containing the custom made UPC file (credit to Swiss Halberdier for the baseline UPC file) “nse_rae_unit_pack_compatibility_project_empire_v6_7_english.pack” to your data folder.

    The mod is mod packed so just place the nse_1_0.pack file and the text file referenced above in your “data” folder and the user.empire_script.txt file into your “scripts” folder (attached this post). Alternatively add the following entry to your current script file: mod nse_1_0.pack;

    The mod should be compatible with most other mods that do not change naval combats, flags, rosters etc.

    Just Remember to have only one text file in the “data” folder.

    Hello i just tried this mod. The ships appear ok but the names of the ships are missing.I followed your instructions and put the nse_1_0.pack and nse_rae_unit_pack_compatibility_project_empire_v6_7_english.pack to my data folder then the user.empire_script.txt to my scripts folder. I don't know what i am doing wrong.

    Hi

    You probably have a conflicting UPC text pack in your data folder? The game can only use one at a time.

    Cheers

    I had some bugs with the filibote or medium galleon and their cannons. And if y add some the gunports like some mods I saw, my note is a 9/10 good job!

    Pirate's race-built galleon is causing CTD.

    There is no localisation for your ships in the compatability you provided. The ships have been changed with mostly "_nse" so they won't link to the ones in the loc.

    Did you look at the other ships from vanilla? Thees no entry for the dhow and galleon in the db.

    Im in the process of merging this with another mod so would be helpful to know. Screens look great, looking forward to seeing it ingame once I can get it working!

    So, I tried to install the mod, but it simply doesn't work. i unzipped both files on the data folder, and then added the .txt to a "scripts" folder i had to make (since there wasn't one previously). Can someone help me find what i've done wrong?
