The 1870's was an exciting time period of the world! The French and the Prussians went to war over German unification. The British Empire was in it's prime. The American Civil War left the US Army in turmoil as regiments were disbanded, and the country pushed West, expanding their boarders and swallowing land. And Japan was struggling with the recent overthrow of the Shogun and the increasing Western influence.
Blood and Iron Age of Imperialism focuses on these five factions and their position during this time period.
The mod developers recommend using Large Address Aware to improve your Warband experience, and to enjoy this mod at its fullest! Simply download the program, run it on warband.exe and select the check box to allow warband.exe to use more than 2GB of memory.
If you downloaded and played the beta, delete your Blood and Iron Age of Imperialism folder, download this release version, and reinstall the mod. This is required to benefit from the optimisation that was done to the mod post beta testing!
