Historically Accurate Mod for Total War: Napoleon
Pike&Shot: Total War is a fan-made mod for Total War: Napoleon, a military strategy game set during the Napoleonic Wars. The mod aims to make the game more historically accurate to the 17th century by adding new technologies and additional playable factions.
One of the biggest changes the mod makes to the base game is the addition of several new campaigns. It should be noted that this is just a mod, and as such, the full game of Total War: Napoleon is required in order to play it. The mod will not work by itself.
The mod adds several new campaigns to the game, including the Thirty Years War, Wars of the Sun King, Time of Revolutions, War of the Grand Alliance, War of Spanish Succession, and more. These new campaigns are era-appropriate for the 17th century, meaning they mostly take place during the 1600s and early 1700s before Napoleon was born.
In addition to the campaigns, there are also several new technologies and units to choose from, complete with their own new artwork. This includes completely reworked unit stats, projectiles, and morale system. It also includes era-appropriate formations in battles and playable factions. There is also custom art for buildings, and scripts for events.
While the mod adds a good deal of new content to what is an aging game, it is a fan-made venture and has stability issues. There are also some unintuitive aspects regarding the way some modified content is implemented, particularly around things like modified relationships between factions. Players trying the mod should check the developer's notes before installing.
