Napoleonic Wars - Current state - almost dead?
Xephaeston:
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 A lot of older Napoleonic games are not satisfying to play anymore due to their graphics being outdated and gameplay mechanics.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.

Well I know of atleast 50+ active regiments, so it doesnt seem that dead
its mostly competetive players that left the game themselves and try to talk it dead :D

Lot's of regiments have disbanded. Compared to 2014 the game has lost a lot of players (which is understandable). The forums are also barely being used anymore. The contacts of these 50+ regiments are difficult to find since it seems that many don't use the forums any longer. Also foreign regiments that don't speak English have decreased. Take for example, Portuguese, Spanish, Russian, Polish, Swedish, Turkish. Lot's of these regiments that speak these languages have little to none existent anymore. I am only trying to find a way to bring more life into this game, I only don't know how.

I do find it quite funny that only now people come out of the woodworks to try and keep the game alive. Probably should have done something sooner if you really cared that much.
There is still a casual community, but the comp one (at least the high level comp scene) is very much dead.

What can one individual achieve? I wanted to help much sooner, but my voice is irrelevant.
That is good to hear that there are still casual groups as I am more interested in this game for the historical aspect and bigger linebattles.
