European Warfare: Napoleonica (HEW)

This is a mod, which uses American Conquest: Fight Back as the base game, developed by the Hawks Group enthusiasts. It is an attempt to recreate vast Napoleon's conquests (singleplayer and multiplayer) in its full glory including:
  • Battles (Trafalgar, Austerlitz, Waterloo...)
  • Factions (Poland, Austria, Prussia amongst existing ones)
  • Units (Grenadiers, skirmishers, heavy cavalry, hussars, lancers...)
  • Generals (Napoleon, Wellington, Blücher...)
  • Other (buildings, civilians, music, enhanced scenario and map maker...)
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.
