I've just given the 1814 mod a major overhaul and gathered it together all in one place.



Besides getting all the different pieces of the mod under one roof, I've repainted the 3D trees to look like leafless trees in the French winter. I've also redrawn and repainted the 3D unit bases (they now have the same color as the background of the unitbox) and repaired and repositioned the units so that they usually look like they're centered on the bases. This includes some corrections to the 3D zoomed out bases that have been retro-fitted onto Campaign Leipzig.



I've also done some work on the sound.  I didn't like hearing someone yelling "God save the King" in the background of battles that were being fought between non-English speakers, so I edited out about four seconds of background sound.  I've also never been a fan of the music selections, so I replaced the victory music with some period music selections.  There's even an alternate for the draw music:  if you don't like Beethoven there's an alternate clip of a French military bank giving the signal to pack it in for the night.



Like my other Napoleonic mods, I've included horses, cannons, and wagons so you won't be able to mistake a couple of teamsters for a battalion of infantry.  The cannon images have been painted with gun carriages and metal fittings in the appropriate national colors.



Here are a few screenshots:

And I'd like to extend a huge thank you to The Big Red One from Task Force Echo Four for providing a platform for my mods.

@Philippe :)
Your mods are always a nice improvement to the artwork. Keep up the good work. 8)

It's kind of silly to investigate whether or not a Clinton is lying. That's sort of like investigating why the sky is blue. Banzai_Cat
