What is your Favorite new feature in NTW.

[Forward Observer]

An old artilleryman's dream--smoking shell craters with bodies strewn all about--and the Uniforms. It's also nice that they finally painted the artillery carriages in colors that approximate what the actual nationalities used--olive green for France, blue-gray for England, apple green for Russia, etc,. It would have been nice if they had modeled the British 6 and 9 pdrs. correctly with single block trail carriages instead of the split trail, but I can live with it. Oh yeah, and although one can still sail into the wind--at least they finally removed the offending incorrect sail from the crossjack on the mizzenmast of all the square riggers.

The absolute biggest and best feature is that in about a week of campaign play and many large single battle tests, I have not encountered a single CTD. I did have one lock-up, but I probably caused it while fiddling with GPU settings. Even after version 1.5 for Empire, I still routinely get CTD's for every 4 or 5 hours of play. It made me so gun-shy that I quick saved after almost every move. It's nice to not have to do that with Napoleon.
