- 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.
- If you want to host games, it is advisable to forward your ports (see Ports).
