Hey RTS-Sancterz! 8) Just half a month ago we released version Napoleonic Era 2.1.7b for Windows & Mac and we'd love you guys to give it a try and tell us your kind feedback as the great online players that you (hopefully :D) are. In fact, it's not the first time we're around here, but better see yourself..


About
Napoleonic Era is and has been one of the most popular mods for Age of Empires III and its expansions for over 8 years (founded in 2006). It greatly expands and reworks the game with new units, buildings, maps, sounds, music, civilizations and a better AI. The Napoleonic Wars were chosen as the mod's theme because these count to the most influential military events during the time period of Age of Empires III, which did not cover Europe, Africa and Western Asia as historical spheres of interest.


New civilizations
The expansion mod adds 7 new and reworks 2 old civilizations with unique units, techs, politicians, AI personalities, unit sounds and homecities:
  • Americans
  • Austrians
  • French (reworked)
  • Germans (reworked)
  • Italians
  • Polish
  • Prussians
  • Swedish
  • Swiss

Requirements
Napoleonic Era 2.1.7b requires:
  • Age of Empires III
  • The WarChiefs (Expansion)
  • The Asian Dynasties (Expansion) + latest patch
    OR
  • Age of Empires III Complete Collection
Installation
Napoleonic Era 2.1.7b is available for Windows and Mac OS X can be installed with our beautiful automatic installers. Napoleonic Era also works with Steam. If you'd like to uninstall NE at a later point, please use the uninstaller.

Important: You can install NE 2.1.7b over your NE only if you did not install versions earlier than NE 2.1.6. Otherwise please install NE over an umodded and patched AoE3.

Special feature: Our unique file system allows seamless switching between Napoleonic Era and the original game and supports ESO2 for both, no uninstall required! Simply click either the NE or AoE3 desktop icons to choose your game.

Multiplayer
If you want to play against other NE players, you can join this NE Online Group on Facebook and ask for matches. Napoleonic Era works with GameRanger, Hamachi and also ESO2. Homecities created with either Napoleonic Era or The Asian Dynasties should never be used in the other game though, otherwise progress might get lost. We recommend you to give your Homecities special names to separate them (i.e. NE Berlin or TAD London).

Download
You can download NE 2.1.7b and read the updated release notes on our downloads page:
