*the mod is planned to be release near the end of this week*

I've been following the development of this WW1 multiplayer mod as of late and it seems to be releasing on Valatine's Day.

Basically a overhaul of Napoleonic with WW1 era weapons & artillery with 2 factions: French Third Republic and German Empire on release.

Here's a short video from the closed Beta:

Although it looks promising past WW1 games had soured me a tad, e.g.the initially buggy release of The Great War mod for Napoleon Total War and the FPS early access game Verdun.

Another concern is server stability since this mod proposes it still supports the 200 player cap. from Napoleonic Wars.

Other ambitious multiplayer Warband Mods faced server problems in the past. One example would be Bear Force 2, a star wars multiplayer mod,where servers were unable to maintain more than ~90 players. As a result, the mod pretty much died out when the novelty of it wore off.

Will love be found in this battlefield? All that can be done is wait and see.
