Napoleon Empire Realism
Introduction
Napoleon Empire Realism aims to provide gameplay improvements as well as realism reflection on the NTW vanilla design. Diverse game aspects have been modified.
Description
NER, which stands for Napoleon Empire Realism, is a gameplay modification for Napoleon Total War that significantly changes the game from vanilla Napoleon Total War. The aim of the mod is to create a much more realistic and historical game play experience, both in terms of the human player experience, and how the AI behaves. The mod completely changes the pace and feel of the game, and you will find that the game is now much more intriguing, difficult, and fun. This mod is a work in progress (WIP) that is continually being updated. The idea is to come as close as possible (in game terms) to reflecting the reality of Napoleonic warfare and society.
Features
This mod has changed many aspects of the game, ranging from a complete overhaul of the tax system to tweaks to the training time, cost and AOR of certain units, in addition to much more.
