Historical Discussion / My visit to the memorial museum of Waterloo - with a lot of pictures

« on: July 31, 2023, 07:27:15 pm »

Greetings

Today I went with my father to the memorial museum at Waterloo in Braine-l'Alleud (Flemish: Eigenbrakel). I have taken a lot of pictures which I'll be sharing with you all. Some pictures are also from the House of Wellington in Waterloo.
It was very informative and if you are an enthusiast of the time period I really recommend it to those who haven't been there yet. Sadly, there was no cannon demonstration as there was only one person who was part of the demonstration team.
He did show us some musket drills and how to fire a musket. Hopefully they will show cannonfire in my next visit next year. I got to hold a musket myself and I must say they do have some weight.

They also showed a 3D combined with 4D movie, which was absolutely insane.

Anyways here are the pictures, my apologies if some weren't taken as good as others. They were in rooms of glass and the glass reflected a lot, nothing much I could have done about it sadly. WARNING: Can contain large pictures.

Other Games / Napoleon Total War - Atmospheric Sound Mod - Works with latest update

« on: July 26, 2023, 10:04:12 am »

Greetings

As you may know, the latest updates have ruined Napoleon Total War's audio. Sound is buggy, cannonfire sounds are inconsistent. They ported sounds over from FOTS Shogun 2 which don't really fit in NTW. If you still play NTW regularly and you want good audio again, I am creating a sound mod that will fix all this. It will also feature main menu music from Hans Zimmer.

Feel free to join this Steamgroup where I will post regular updates. https://steamcommunity.com/groups/asmntw

Also make sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel - https://www.youtube.com/@dxrkwave - as I will put the updates there as well so you could hear the new audio.

Thread will be worked upon soon.

Historical Reenactment / Information about reenacting

« on: July 21, 2023, 05:26:58 pm »

Greetings

I do not know if the people that do reenacting still use the forums. I might try to get into it myself in the future. Therefore I have a few questions about it.

- Where do you buy all the things that are needed? Musket, Bayonet, Uniforms, etc...
- Are there any groups/regiments that are close to Belgium, France and Germany?
- At how much money in total are we looking to have everything bought? An estimated number is fine.

Any additional information is more than welcome.

Thank you for your time.

Off Topic / Napoleon - Movie Apple TV

« on: July 10, 2023, 07:19:41 pm »

"Directed by Ridley Scott from a screenplay by David Scarpa, “Napoleon” stars Joaquin Phoenix as the French emperor and military leader. The film is an original and personal look at Napoleon’s origins and his swift, ruthless climb to emperor, viewed through the prism of his addictive and often volatile relationship with his wife and one true love, Josephine, played by Vanessa Kirby. The film captures Napoleon’s famous battles, relentless ambition and astounding strategic mind as an extraordinary military leader and war visionary. An Apple Studios production in conjunction with Scott Free Productions, “Napoleon” is produced by Scott, Kevin Walsh, Mark Huffam and Phoenix, with Michael Pruss and Aidan Elliott serving as executive producers."

If the movie is as good as the trailer, I think we are in for a treat. We need more movies of this time period with the technology and special effects we have now.

Community / Napoleonic Wars - Current state - almost dead?

« on: July 03, 2023, 01:15:36 pm »

Greetings everyone

I am actually saddened by the fact at what state the game is in. I see so many Napoleonic Era games dying. A lot of older Napoleonic games are not satisfying to play anymore due to their graphics being outdated and gameplay mechanics. Take Napoleon Total War for example, with recent updates the game is broken. Sound is not working properly and regular crashes. Mods do not work at all anymore. Now to come back to the topic of NW. Ofcourse, this game is getting old, but the gameplay is still a lot better than the current state of Sword & Musket for Bannerlord and the game from Anvil Studios called Holdfast. I understand that people are growing older and their personal lives are getting busier. Teamspeak servers are expensive (for this we have also Discord which is free) and maintaining an ingame server is expensive too. I also see that many people play this game solely for tournaments and these lists that I've seen. Why can we not enjoy the game as historical enthusiasts who care about this time period? I do not wish to offend anyone, this is merely a picture that I get.

Isn't there really any way to revive Napoleonic Wars for Warband? I would like to help in any way I can since I am a big Napoleonic Era enthusiast and it pains me to see that there aren't many games out there to enjoy within that time period.

M&B: Warband - Наполеоновские войны / Ищу русский полк.

« on: July 01, 2023, 10:12:11 pm »

Всем привет.

Я ищу русский полк для игры. Я давно занимаюсь историей России. Я нахожу это очень интересным, поэтому уже некоторое время изучаю язык. У меня все еще есть проблемы с пониманием и речью. Читать и писать мне легче. Есть ли какой-нибудь полк, который был бы заинтересован во мне? Наиболее предпочтительно, я бы хотел вступить в Лейб-Гвардии. Но и у других все хорошо.

Сразу скажу, что я не буду очень активной, у меня насыщенная жизнь. Так что, если я не могу быть полноправным членом, это нормально. Мне тоже хорошо быть наемником. Я надеюсь, что это сообщение было написано хорошо, это заняло у меня несколько минут. Я с нетерпением жду встречи со всеми вами.

С наилучшими пожеланиями.
