The mod completely rethinks how the fighting works, just about everything is redone - muskets, bayonets and artillery fire.My mod has two major parts, the mod itself and the scenario engine I made which is an extension of the game engine and is run with our maps, allowing me to expand the game source code.My recommendation is if you are interested in American Civil War or Napoleonic history, and like the idea of playing grand scale multiplayer battles with us, to give this a try. Try to forget what the game was like, as the mod is what this is all about, and the mod plays completely differently from the original game. I did when I picked it up in 2008, before I set to modding it. If anyone remembers the game American Conquest Divided Nation, they'll probably die a little inside. This post is an invitation to anyone interested to come try our games with us multiplayer. I'm going to be advertising my mod, but most of the hawks play both.
We now use my mod, the Hawks' Divided Nation Mod, for American Conquest Divided Nation, and GeXozoid's Hawks' European Warfare: Napoleonica, a mod for American Conquest Fight back. The group has been active and thriving since 2002 when it started, using Cossacks - The Art of War at that time.
The Hawks are a friendly group of gamers and history enthusiasts who play our own mods for the American Conquest series.
