Hello, I am new here. I am a french history teacher. With an other french we created a mod for the game Napoleon total war. The mod is playable yet but far from finishing. You can see our work here [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] (panzerschreck is me) And I would need some help: finding colour pics on the british army is easy whereas finding what each zulu regiment looked like is difficult. I have all the osprey books but I am looking for others sources. So, if you have some pics on zulu regiments, I will be very greateful.
thanks!

Hello there, Welcome to the forum, I also have a couple of questions
How do you use a mod?
How do you get it e.g. disk, download?
You say it is to be used with Napoleon Total War, how exactly do you do this?
How much would this mod cost?
As you can see, Im not a video game expert
Great work so far
thanks joe

To both of you, thank you for welcoming. A mod is a modification of a game , here a pc game, Napoleon Total war. The game Napoleon total war is a pc game and it 's on the napoleonic era. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] What we did is changing the era of this game to make it in 1879, in Zululand. we have to change things like uniforms, music, campaigns etc. The beta is already playable, but beta means that the mod isn't finished yet. Our work is totally free, we don't earn any money at all, but if you want to play the game you have to buy the real game, NTW, that is made by creative assembly and sega.
cheers

well, when you have the game (ntw), you download the mod from internet for free, and you install the new files into the original game. Then it adds the new units, music etc. and you are abble to play the new mod.

Hello Rungail,
Would this be the right game that the mod works on?
Subject: Re: A game on the anglo zulu war Thu Aug 19, 2010 8:46 am
yes it is! But is your pc good enough? you have to check if your pc is enough powerfull to run that game. look here: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] This is a new generation of game so it needs powerfull computers otherwise you won't be abble to run it.
