Status: offline 		I know this forum is dead as the dodo, but maybe there are some gamers about, who still like to play this game. If there is, I have been working on a mod,with the aim off improving the naval game mainly, but I have tweaked a great many other aspects as well. If you look at the stats, for the Ship of The Line, you can see that I have changed many aspects, I have increased the build time, but reduced manpower, they also now have a bombardment capability, against Fortresses, Ports & Cities. Movement has been increased, as well as Quality & Survivability.

Also I would like to add a port to Malta, but alas my attempts so far all failed, but that won't deter me I will continue to try and improve this grand old lady.

Status: offline 		Yes it's for the 1805 Campaign, there are huge changes applied, all the major countries have more off everything, Production points, Manpower & Horses. The biggest change is that Spain starts allied with France! Also the naval game has been completely changed, Build times have been altered, Quality & Survivability has been increased, especially for Ships of the Line. All Artillery attack ranges have been reduced to 2 hexes only. There are a great many other alterations, but the above are the main ones.

Status: offline 		I thought you might like a heads up,that there is a big chance, that this game will get a major update in the not to distant future, but then again, going by the lack of activity here, that might be a pointless exercise I think. If there are gamers who would like to see this great game thrive, now is the time to say so, all comments welcome!

Status: offline 		unfortunately i dont htink this one ever will be updated again, i asked about it earlier and the indication was somehow that they Lordz dont have the means to update this anymore - as though they dont have the code or something?

anyhoo its a good game beneath its heavy abstraction - on the surface it looks like a panzer general dressed in Shakos but there is alot more going on under the hood with stats and how combat is determined -

i am playing a PBEM of the 1809 campaign and its great!

Status: offline 		Yes, this is actually a pretty solid game. I have created a mod of my own with some similarities to yours (Spain as a French Ally and tweaks to the naval aspects of the game). I've also piddled around with some of the research and unit stats but not too many major changes there. I also set it that by the end of the game pretty much every nation will have joined one side or the other.

The AI is pretty woeful though once you know what you're doing. I've played a few HtH games via hotseat and they were a blast. I highly recommend this game for some sort of MP experience.

Hopefully someone actually picks up the ball and continues to improve this game. I think all of the basic framework is there, it just needs some tweaks here and there to be a truly great light/abstract Napoleonic wargame.

Status: offline 		okay grreat! i suppose the AI in CNAW would just need further tweaking. I think its okay at present but it seems limited. would there be any changes to the diplomacy - that its so fixed when particular countries join the fight against napoleon - i would like to see that if you play ahistorically then it can have effects that are ahistorical - such as when austria might join the fight in the 1813 campaign or etc etc

It would be very nice to see an upgrade to CNAW along the lines of what was done with the Grand Strategy mod for CEAW. There's still untapped potential with this game, it just needs a little more TLC. Enhance the map and graphics a bit, adjust the unit parameters and costs etc. like the Alaric mod started to be more realistic, and throw in some more events for historical flavor. Sounds good.

Status: offline 		it would be great if the victory conditions for scenarios coul dbe a little more varied or realistic - it seems the goal to simply capture vienna is the only goal for France in the 1809 and 1813 campaigns - this seems too abstracted if the capture of vienna is representing the defeat of austria on the field also.
