After a lot of work, here it is. My mod ported to LME4.2. But it is not only a port, its a BIG pack!
Download and override LME4.pack to get the full changes.
I did really A LOT of modding in here. Basically, the whole concpet has been changed.
And a BIG THANK YOU goes to PdGuru for he has let me use his wonderful facial skins from his French and Allies mod!
THE CHANGES
- Different weather
- Changed battle mechanics for much slower and longer gameplay
- Changed all the unit_stats_land table related values to suit for the new battle mechanics
- new variantmodels with new skins (see here for some previews)
- CAI has four levels: Aggressive_major for major factions, Aggressive_minor for minor factions that are on the offensive (usually with France), Moderate for defensive minor factions, and of course the major factions have their own CAI.
- Only grenadiers can use grappling hooks to assault during siege battles
- New equipment submod based on PdGuru's fantastic work
- Season-based diseases unused by CA added back
This overhaul of LME4 is the ultimate experience for those of you with over 1 hour to spend in a single battlefield and are not afraid of big challenges. Certain nations not good at - or not willing to - combat are treated as such. Play as Saxony or Westphalia to get a brutal challenge!
Enjoy
Download Link LAST UPDATE NOVEMBER 2021 HERE
Vanilla version NOT UPDATED HERE
HOW TO SET UP THE MOD
- Install LME4 4.2, the last version;
- Download LME4.pack from the link above and put it into the ../Napoleon Total War/data/ folder. When asked to overwrite, click "Yes" (Make a backup copy just in case);
- The mod should now work fine.
Special note: do NOT use the LME4 standard Launcher, instead, utilize the user_script provided below and apply directly. Please make sure not to use other mods that modify the CAI or BAI with it as it may conflict heavily with the main mod.
The basic user script:
The campaign pack can be any from 1792 onwards. What I did NOT modify despite some claiming it is modified, its the startpos itself aside from the CAI references. Therefore any CTDs that you might find in LME4 are still present at this time.Code:mod LME4_Camp1807.pack; mod LME4_Music_Project.pack; mod LME4_graphics.pack; mod LME4.pack;
The last update also includes other mods by me, ALL MODS LISTED HERE ARE OPTIONAL:
- Sir Battleterrain made so you can enjoy 4 x 4 maps with 8 armies in the same area (thanks to the larger control zones for generals and colonels), I have modified all basic maps heavily so there are more randomized tactical features and some maps make more sense / are more challenging.
As of February 2016, PdGuru's modified submod is integrated into the base LME4 pack.
