Bravo Mod team! Way to keep the torch alive!

Well done to all contributors. Look forward to giving it a workout.

[Ztrain909]

Bravo and congrats to the Lordz team on v8.0. Hardcore mode is a wonderful addition to an already wonderful mod.

First let me thank you all for your hard work and the beautiful units and unit card roster.
I really appreciate it that you always try hard to give us a better gaming experience.

I would like to mention some things that I realized in today's gaming.

The first game went quite normal. Only cav drove me crazy when it did not go for the artillery and was running in the the infantries standing more far away. Even rage clicking was not working. Later on I and my team mates also realized it in cav fights when enemy inf was closer around. They were going for the inf and not against the enemy cav. although clicking like crazy on the enemy cav.. Something that drove us pretty mad.

The big thing we realized was when we played against the famous Sigizmund Blob Charge. Normally not a too big thing. You simply shoot it down with elite inf and artillery. But all of this was not working this time.

So we tried this Blob in several games to see how it works. And tata, it is killing everything. Pick elite Grenadiers, especially the fast ones so that enemy units can not run away. Elite cav. NO artillery at all. And some cheap inf as bullet catch or keeping the enemy army a bit busy. And blob them down. Worked in every game.
Arcade style games. No tactics, no strategy, just try to get close and let the blob begin. Even if enemy cav charges you. The elite grenadiers are holding quite long. Its astounding.

Guys, do not take it personal. I am just reporting what I and my team mates experienced today.

Have a great day - Cheers

P.S. I enjoyed the british rockets

[Lord Fullin]

Congratz, havent played it yet...but i will soon.

[Lord Fullin]

when is Eagles 8.0 due?

[stilgar]

when is Eagles 8.0 due?

Almost there. Desaix fixing last few issues found in beta testing of RC.

Congrats on the release, gents!

[Lord Cosak]

I have heard complatin against straight bayonet charg. Here is a very easy way to counter it: don't stretch your line, have a small reserve behind your line to supprot mroale and counter charge.

If all your army is on the front line, stretched, charging it is indeed very easy.

Regarding the battle mentioned by Wolly, 25 milita units charged by French elite with 6 cav from French allies: mass-rout 100% guaranteed, as it should be

[SirWolly]

Very true, the prussians were hopeless. But a lot of artillery fire + the rockets seemed to have no effect.
Later on even british KGL and Foot Guards were not able to shoot down the Blob although they were tired after charging the prussians.

Later on I had Italy and went with Xboard (French) against Britain and Prussia. Even my italian Grenadiers were killing them. Mass stampede.

[Lord Cosak]

I am aware that blob (N units at the same place) is an annoyance, a gamey exploit.

[tanelorn]

Well done all. Obligitory question: is the update savegame compatible? I am deep in the SP campaign and don't want to lose anything.

[Lord Davn]

Is the update savegame compatible? I am deep in the SP campaign and don't want to lose anything.

Best to finish your current campaign game with v76. There are significant changes to the v80 spc mod that may cause issues with prior saved games.

Prussia 1813 has been horrible since 7.4 I believe. A real dinosaur of a faction.

[Lord Davn]

NOTE to Campaign Players;
The Ottoman campaign game will load the faction selection screen but will CTD when trying to start any of the 3 factions.
This will be fixed with the v8.1 patch, meanwhile enjoy playing the other 22 factions

[Lord Gunner24]

Very impressive work.
Great job everyone.
I wonder how many 1,000s of hours hard work it has taken to get ntw3 to v8 ?.
I re-call spending several 100 hours on ntw2 maps, and even several dozen on a few very early ntw3 ones.

Sometimes I even wish I had a PC that I could load up ntw3 on and take a look, then I quickly come back to reality knowing I'm far too old to play something that needs such good keyboard and reaction skills.

Best of luck with v8.
Best wishes and good health to all.

[Lord Cosak]

Thank you Gunner.

Great job guys. I see no information about installing when you already have 7.6 installed. Does the exe handle the cleanup? How to prepare NTW for an upgrade from 7.6 to 8.0?

[Lord Davn]

Great job guys. Does the exe handle the cleanup? How to prepare NTW for an upgrade from 7.6 to 8.0?

The NTW3 v8.0 mod is the easiest to install that we've ever had thanks to Lord Cosaks custom installer. Use the NTW3 v76 launcher to restore vanilla files then run the NTW3 un-install app in the "Steam/steamapps/common/Napoleon Total War folder". Manually remove any remaining NTW3 folders and files then go to your Steam library for Napoleon Total War vanilla game and run the the "verify integrity of files" program. It will check the vanilla game files and install any missing files. Play a few turns & saves in the vanilla campaign and if it all is well install the NTW3 v80 mod.

Note the NTW3 mod may NOT be compatible with other mods especially Darth Mod as it overwrites some of the original ntw game files The NTW3 mod is stand alone and separate from the vanilla files.

I honestly don't see how this procedure is easier than a complete deletion and reinstall. Especially the "Manually remove any remaining NTW3 folders and files" part. If the uninstall apps can't find their own files how am I supposed to find them all???

[Lord Davn]

I honestly don't see how this procedure is easier than a complete deletion and reinstall.

Our files are labeled NTW3, easy to find in the Napoleon data folder. If its too hard perhaps it might be easier to stick with the vanilla game.

[Lord Cosak]

Anyway whether you have 7.6 installed or not, it doesn't change anything. Deleting 7.6 is only to save disk space.

Ooh shots fired! Knowing that everything is labeled NTW3 helps alot. I hope I did it right. Thanks for the advice!
