Napoleon WWI Mod

[Audacia]

Here's what's due for our next release, this was posted by our team leader the day TWC went back up

The Game Plan

Ok, so we haven't had an update in a long while, due in part because of TWC downtime, we needed some feedback, and I'v been playing a whole load of multiplayer..

But we do have quite a few plans for the next update 4.2.


So far, this is what I know will be coming. Probably we will gather a whole load more when we're completely back on our feet.
We have some lovely Naval updates from Aanker, Iv actualy played with these and they're looking good so far. He also plans to do even more, such as new ship classes. etc
We FINALLY, have the names of the flamethrowers and ALL OF THE SHIPS fixed.
Josst has lead me to believe we will have an extremely nice AI update coming, featuring things such as the AI recruiting less flamethrowers/Snipers and more arty, infantry, like it should.
BUGS, obviously many bugs will be fixed, needless to say they where numerous and we are cutting them down.
Startpos V2, see below for more details.
The fan made units such as the extra Germans, and the Canadians, will have their not so WW1 like uniforms made more WW1-ish. (No more red uniform for Canadians.)
Expect more units. Just a few examples, France will be getting a better navy more specific special classes, more nations will have the special units that can be used such as the German Infiltrator battalion.
Moral, due to the old napoleon ways, losing 50 men in a 100 man unit, has the same effect as losing 50 men in our massive 400 man units.. This will be changed as to achieve the effect that your guys now don't run away so quickly !
New General portraits, no more 18th Century Gen's leading your armies.
More that I'v most likely forgotten.

StartPos V2
Firstly Version 2 will contain all of the nations that where missing in V1, we'll now have brand new nations such as the long awaited Serbia, Netherlands, Romania, Norway and more. Due to the feedback we've gained one major goal of V2 was to make Germany that bit harder, a few things have been adjusted and they should now hopefuly act like the France in vanilla.
There where quite a few alliance and friendship problems inherent in V1 (Germany really liking Italy for example.), these will be fixed and should hopefuly eliviate some of the problems faced with alliances.
Whats more to combine the making Germany stronger, and improved alliances, nations such as the Ottoman Empire will now be allied with Germany.
A few bugs/problems that came about in startpos, such as France had control over one of Germany's barracks, these bugs are now fixed.
Many buildings in V1 were vastly dispraportionate to what should have been had and what was needed to have a functioning AI, such as Germany has no military ports, Britain has developed cities, this has now been spread to the other nations to give much more fairness, and hopefuly get Germany on the right track.
Myself and the Great War team, and a few good friends, have all been playing a lot of MP campaigns, because of this, the startpos will now be tweaked so its fair for everyone and a few improvements here and their. Oh and expect the multiplayer startpos, that I'v given to a few people already, to come in the next update
