"The great questions of the time will not be resolved by speeches and majority decisions—
that was the great mistake of 1848 and 1849—but by iron and blood".
- Otto Von Bismarck



Overview
Blood and Iron is a modification for Napoleonic wars set mainly between 1870 and 1880. The aim is to accurately represent the era while creating a fun and balanced mod. The mod features 3 main factions, Prussia, France, and Great Britain, as well as units from several other nations including the USA, Sweden, Austria, Russia, and more.



History

The late 19th century was a period of great change. New empires and nations formed, Imperialism and militarism rose to new levels, while stereotypes and hunger for empire remained the same. Old alliances were broken and new ones were formed. Great Britain was making large strides on increasing her colonies, Germany formed as a new nation, France finally became a republic and broke away from Emperors, and the United states was recovering from the civil war to become a major world power to challenge the old rulers.



Features


Hundreds of Historical period uniforms.
Dozens of different firearms, swords, and pistols.
New animations.
Fixable Bayonets.
Medics.
New maps.

Server Files coming soon

Installation tip.
If you have played Blood and Iron before, please delete your existing module before installing the new one, while not completely necessary it reduces the risk of a conflict or problem. The mod uses the Napoleonic wars installer, and there seems to be a bug where it names the mod folder after the last mod you installed,  to stop this when the installer asks what directory you want, check the end of the path and make sure it says "Blood and Iron", for example, "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\MountBlade Warband\Modules\Blood and Iron". If it is not "Blood and Iron" you won't be able to see servers. If you've already installed just go to your module directory and rename the folder.​

If you have problems with your NW key (NW is not installed), please do the following:

- Right click on Mount & Blade: Warband on steam and select view CD key.
Copy the Napoleonic Wars serial code or keep it open.

- Click Start > Run
- Enter regedit, right click to open with administrative rights
- A new window will open, browse to HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > MountAndBladeWarbandKeys
- Search the entry, serial_key_nw,
- If it doesent exist, make a string value with that name and enter your cd key there.
- make sure that the value is the same as your CD key. Also make sure that the key is separated correctly. Double click the entry and modify it until it is correct. Watch out for invisible spaces in the CD key.
- If you are done with that, close the Registry Window and start the installer, and have fun playing!

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________​


Contrary to popular belief, Blood and Iron is being continued. We are working hard to bring you the next update.
[url=http://www.fsegames.eu/forum/index.php?topic=13874.0]Follow the development and join in the discussion over here in the official Blood and Iron development thread!


There are lots of goodies in progress for this next update. One of the most exciting is the addition of a whole host of awesome scene props which will help to create dynamic maps. The new props will help to immerse you into the world of the late 19th century, as you battle for the control of the field against your opponents!

The developers also hope to inspire new and old mappers to jump back into the map editor, and create some more wonderful works of art! But this time, they are not only limited to your NW red, green, and blue paints; no, no, no... we here at Blood and Iron would like you to experiment with ALL the colours! The map is your canvas mappers, size it by the easel!!



As the team has learnt a lot from the previous B&I releases, and other mod releases and life spans, we are trying our hardest to give Blood and Iron the justice it deserves. We are trying our utmost to make this the best update to ever happen to a mod!​

Firstly, we are proud to announce two new, full, factions that you will be able to use in events. We will release more details regarding these factions later on, however feel free to hypothesise about what factions we're adding. And don't worry, the fun doesn't stop there! Along with the massive influx of new units, we will be introducing some new artillery pieces, some of which can be seen in the pictures. But that is not all either, we're adding new weapons, new armour pieces, some varied armour pieces (for a little sugar and spice, and everything nice), new taunts, and hopefully some cool new features.

The models are looking nice; however, I would strongly recommend not putting that much mud/dirt on the uniforms.  A little is nice and atmospheric and all, but too much looks a tad cheesy.
 
This board doesn't get too many views so I don't update the thread much, if you want to see much more visit here.
