The NTW3 v9.0 Peninsula campaign is Multi-Player compatible or as Single Player vs the AI


The NTW3 v9.0 European campaign now includes a combined Naples and Sicily faction.
You can choose to start from either Naples or Palermo as your capitol.

Hello Lord Davn,

I noticed that the unit Keys in the DB files and Loc file for classic battles were changed to a numbering system instead of what was being used in the 8.9 and prior, with the unit keys simply being units name.
Example: Inf_Line_British_Foot_name
Is there a way for us to decipher or understand the numbering system that wad put in place? Can you inform us how we can know what the units are?
DB unit key examples 9.0:
ntw3_inf_line_153_062_5634
ntw3_inf_line_153_062_5634_com_2818
ntw3_inf_line_153_062_5634_tow_022

Lord Davn,

What is the schedule / estimate to get the 1805 campaign to play in multiplayer?

Thanks

[Lord Davn]

We have to work around the protocols that Steam has put in place to limit players from using cheat codes or hacked versions of the NTW game.
The drop-in campaign battles with other players are available but the connections for campaign games are not compatible

[Marshall Davout]

I see, how odd. This has been something recent, due to the new changes in the mod presumably? I know that I have played the NTW3 European campaign multiplayer before, but that was several versions ago. Do you mean to say that there is actually work going on to make it happen, or is this not scheduled for any time soon?

[Lord Davn]

Changes in the NTW3 file structure and changes with the Steam protocol for online MP campaign games

[Marshall Davout]

Wow, ok. Thanks for getting back to me.

I might try the peninsular!

The NTW3 European campaign features realistic sailing stats, battles and custom warships thanks to Lord Wesley's modifications to the naval stats.

Lord Wesley (Fusilier) has finally found a fix to the dreaded blob problem in the campaign games when the AI is on the defense.
We are testing and adding more improvements to the campaign battle AI for a patch release in the near future

[Lord Davn]

The AI will now take up defensive formations for campaign battles.
