For the past few months I've been working on a Napoleonic Wars Mod. I intend for it to be the most definitive one yet created, with a huge European map and historically accurate detail. The main scenario starts in 1799, just after Napoleon becomes First Consul, but there might be room for French Revolution scenarios in the future. I'm posting this thread for three reasons:
1) To get as much creative input as possible and find out what features people would like to see added in the mod/scenario. Also to get feedback on the content I've added.
2) To get help with the more advanced coding. I'm a novice modder. I had to learn XML on the fly, and I have zero experience with python. So I'm hoping I'll be able to get some of my questions answered here.
3) To gauge interest and keep everyone updated on progress if there's enough interest in seeing this mod released.
Here's a download link to the mod and scenario so far. To run it just extract it to the mods folder in the Beyond the Sword directory. The scenario I'm working on is "Europe-1799-AD" in the PublicMaps folder.

I've also enclosed a couple pictures to give a sense of the mod. Please let me know what you think and what features you'd like to see included in this project.
