DarthMod Napoleon (DMN) is a standalone modification for Napoleon: Total War, which aims to bring the gameplay experience to a whole new level. Created by modders DARTH VADER & husserlTW, DMN is a modification, that features vast amounts of gameplay tweaks, graphical tweaks, new units, new playable factions & AI fixes.

History

Following the release of previous DarthMod titles, DMN was released at the end of 2011 & got its own forum at the start of 2012 in January.

Description

DMN is a modification intended to enhance the experience of playing NTW. This is done by focusing on gameplay, graphical & AI problems in the vanilla version of NTW, which are then rooted out, fixed & further enhanced. DMN features all of these & numerous other enhancements in one package to make a simple & clean install.

Some submods included with DMN are:

Features

DMN introduces a lot of new features & a bunch of older features as well, that have been further enhanced. The features in DMN have been categorized below:

Land Battles

  • Realistic movement rates, acceleration and physics effects provide natural looking visuals.
  • Melee fights have been made more cinematic & charging has been tweaked to be more powerful, especially for some cavalry units.
  • Realistic musket fire based on unit's accuracy and weapon characteristics.
  • Cannons have been tweaked to fire more realistic trajectories and longer ranges.
  • Morale effects are more dynamic. Now, morale can affect the enemy AI's decisions on the battlefield.
  • Fatigue has been made more realistic. Not only do units get tired quickly after running, they also recover faster.
  • Various unit statistic changes.
