3. Historical battles

7. Download & installation
   
   • File (1.8 Gb): http://www.mediafire.com/file/1ved8ux6vlbdf8t/NTW3-7.0-setup.exe
   • Launch the NTW3-7.0-setup.exe file, choose your language.
   • Select your NTW folder, by default it is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Napoleon Total War" (warning: don't select the "data" folder like in v6)
   • Wait until all files are extracted.
   • Use the NTW3 launcher to start
8. Army selection
   
   • Because so many factions are now available, the weakest nations can be off screen if your resolution is not high enough. To select them you can use the pre-saved army setups:

Uninstall or not uninstall version 6?

[Luk3sak]

Same question here And download link is really slow...

[Lord Cosak]

It's simple: if you follow the procedure written above, it'll work.

So uninstalling v6 is not mandatory, although you'll save space on your disk.

Btw I forgot to mention a critically important change in this version: the loading progress bar is now red.

[Lord Liberalis]

Now I have to work with wet pants.

*runs amok*

Thanks to all thé Lordz and Well done Cosak !

[SirFrancisXC]

have France 1806 (22) units price been increased a bit?

[Lord Lancier]

French -factions ^^- on the stage now, finally gets the respect that deserves in this era!

Vive l'empereur !

Special thanks to Cosak, Davn, Uxbridge and Desaix ... and to all others that are involved in the ntw3 course ^^

Lord Cossack, I couldn't get to run it as I had no NTW folder.
I've installed my Napoleon in E drive.
E:\1- Tayyab\ SteamLibrary\ steamapps\ common\ Napoleon Total War
Now where in Napoleon Total war would I find NTW? I have now deleted everything related to NTW3 so can you please help me? I'll be glad for the reply gentlemen.

[Marshall Davout]

Thanks to all involved in the work of development. Look forward to seeing you all on the battlefield

[Lord Tayyab]

Lol can someone please help me? ;_;

[Novus_ordo]

Good job lord Cosak
But what's up with the regimental verison? I thought it would be the same as normal version except for larger unit sizes, instead it is a bunch of British, french & prussian Corps with extremely cheap costs per unit and very strange stats, like 8 accuracy and 250 reload?!?!?!?!?!

[levjam]

can anyone tell me what my user script should look like for the sp campaign? I get a ctd when I try to launch it

it installs a new NTW folder in your steam folder, move the files within that folder and it should work

Retyn you seem to be helping around, please help me in these dark times. The installer creates a new "Napoleon Total War" folder in my Steam folder. I've never had problems with installations before, but for the life of me, I can't get this to work!

I believe that in the Regimental Mod stats and costs are irrelevant,the game speed but more importantly the game mechanics have had major alterations.....some regiments start with poor moral(orange bar),all units only walk,art range if not all range is reduced alot,no units can square and the Generals do not move....I think this was created to give or attempt to give a slower more realistic Regimental level game.....though I've only have a few practice 1v1's it seems interesting

It will certainly help those players who want a more relaxed game where there is plenty of time to manage their units etc Gunner may like this version though imo I would like to see the classic NTW3 incorporate the HB mechanics(speed etc) on all classic maps with classic free build OOB's?

Yep we now have 5 French Army OOB's to chose from.....or 6 with the IG, alot anyway....BTW I like the look of the HRE and the USA

The regimental version is devised by Lord Fullin with different game mechanics so maybe he will comment more about this but Wym seems to have a good explanation above.

[Lord Lancier]

Ah Wym, it was 5 years ago i think ? Gunner asked for this if i remember correct ^^
And now we have;

Historical Battles,
Classic Scenarios,
RegMod
Classic MP ...

I dont think HB mechanics would be real on classic maps after all ..? tho we must not be too precise, if someone 3 years ago told me there would be ntw3 classic mp with 'partical squares' and a sub mod with no squares i would not believe. ^^

Spoiler: show

Indeed.
Now it seems possible to play full 'LGA vs Allied Coalition' battles i think ^^ Tsar finally may abandon teaming up with Napoleon and sleep well ^^

Long time lurker, first time poster. So first I'd like to extend my thanks to all the modders involved. You're doing gods work. Secondly I humbly request a seeder or two on the torrent as my internet is neither fast or reliable enough to get 2 gigs downloaded through the browser.

Again, thanks for all the work guys, really enjoy the mod.

Cheers,

Smokey

can anyone tell me what my user script should look like for the sp campaign? I get a ctd when I try to launch it

You have selected the napoleon total war directory when installing, instead you have to select the common directory because the installer add automatically NAPOLEON TOTAL WAR directory to the name.
Please disinstall V7 and reinstall V7

Lord Tayyab be sure you install the mod in the main total war folder of your steam on the correct hdd. Once you got the correct folder where Napoleon is located you install it there and the mod installs itself inside the Napoleaon Total war folder..

Be sure you do not have other mods in there that might mess up your install. Also create a new thread just in case every 1 is ignoring your post because every one is excited about the new expansion !

[Chromey]

can some one put a drop box link for the new up date for me? My torrent doesnt seem to want to work for me and I'm dying to try out the new USA faction!
