Since i doubt many of you ever heard of this. Its a multiplayer only mod, based on the napoleonic era. It is made on the RTW engine, where the modders completely overhauled the game to include musket fire and bayonet charge at a time even MTW2 hasnt come out yet. Since then it went a long way to include many factions, maps and improvements on gameplay.
This was one of the games i was playing prior to finding Eir. They worked hard and what they produced is amazing even for RTW. They have currently moved to work on ETW which is i think is really prommising :p
Anyway best thing about NTW2 is it focuses on tactics and realism, and if you like the era, its very fun to play.
I havent tried it since some months ago. But i had fun times trying to break the lines of enemy infantry blocks with artillery, infantry advances and cavarly! Cheesy
If only it had persistency..
So anyway im going to try to get some games again, if anyone is interested lets get together and have some 2v2s, 3v3s. Everyone is welcome, even you sach.

not a particularly good mod - even if you charge the enemy line from behind with a unit of cavalry, the infantry just turn around and shoot your cavalry, in a melee.

Still, it's pretty impressive what they have done - muskets and all.

Eh no, actually the nature of how cavarly operates has gone many stages from being OP to UP to what it is now, and this is a problem to a lot of mods. If you charge infantry from the flanks, it takes time to change direction while keeping formation, and if you're under pressure this will definetely end up with the enemy unit get routed fast.
If you charge cavarly in a heavy unified line of infantry with good morale they most probably hold against it, but that will give opportunity to use your infantry from the opposite side.
Bottom line is you have to use a whole range of units of different use, to overcome a tough line.
Its all about morale, and tactics.
