European Warfare: Napoleonica (HEW)

This is a mod which attempts to recreate vast Napoleon's conquests in its full glory including:
  • Battles (Trafalgar, Austerlitz, Waterloo...)
  • Factions (Poland, Austria, Prussia amongst existing ones)
  • Units (Grenadiers, skirmishers, heavy cavalry, hussars, lancers...)
The only thing which currently doesn't work is Random Map AI (except somewhat for France)
If you're interested in this mod, be sure to check out the beginners' guide.
To be able to play both unmodded and modded game, make a copy of the installation folder.
