Original Napoleonic Add-on: http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,86153.0.html
Sadly Age of Blackpowder has been shut down and the very good Napoleonic add-on for it is merging with musket madness for Warband. Thus, we M&B players who didn't buy Warband yet are left without an (updated) gunpowder mod. That is, until The Peninsular War will be released.
To relief the pain a bit I asked Venitius for permission to upload my little changes of his add-on. All these changes are aimed at improving the gameplay. Please note that I made this initially for my own personal use. I am not a modder and did it by changing and replacing text files, often copying other peoples work. There might be bugs so install at your own risk. Having said that, I never had any problems myself.
Napoleonic+ is NOT a new mod. Don't even dare to give me any credit for it. It's the same old Napoleonic add-on for AoB but with the following little extras:
Implementation of Foxyman's Form Ranks! kit.
Formations! No longer will you have one group of melee infantry, one group of ranged infantry and one group of cavalry. Make as many groups as you want and choose the formation they should form. It's a bit hard to master in the beginning but it adds a whole new dimension to the game.
And for heavens sake. If you see enemy cavalry,form square! Don't say I didn't warn you.
In case you wonder: It does indeed work like this ingame.
Implementation of the Lord and Realms Siege pack.
This adds an extra ladder to sieges. Quite useful.
Numerous small tweaks.
Villages will now provide you with the troops of the country owning them even when the ownership of the village changes.
You can now make peace when you are a rebel.
No more native americans in Europe. They are mounted bandits now.
etc.
Credit still goes to:

QuickDagger who implemented the Form Ranks! kit in the Peloponnesian War mod by editing the text files. It was only after i saw how he did it that I managed myself for this mod.
And of course special thanks go to Venitius and Bjorne for making us Napoleonic Add-on and Age of Blackpowder!
PS: I tried to get permission from everyone necessary. If I did forgot someone, please tell me.

UPDATE: One download with everything you need: http://www.filefront.com/17451906/Napoleonic-Add-on-pack-with-AoB---RoR-0.9.8.1.rar/
As you might understand it would be quite complicated to ask every single person who contributed to this mod, or whose textures, sounds, etc. are ingame for permission. Especially since not everyone is still active on this forum. Therefore, I cannot give you a single file to download. Instead I've upload those files that have been changed. and you will have to do some of the work yourself. On the bright side: If you already have the Napoleonic add-on you won't have to download that much.
The following steps explain how to install it:
1) Download Napoleonic add-on here: http://www.filefront.com/14321057/Venitius%27%20Add-on%20pack.zip
Install as usual
2) Download and install this small fix: http://www.filefront.com/14321699/fix.zip
3) Download and install the sound fix: http://www.filefront.com/15178077/Sound-Fix-Age-of-Blackpowder.rar/
--------------------------------Those who have the Napoleonic add-on already can start here--------------------------------------------------------------------
4) Copy paste your Napoleonic module in C:\Program Files\Mount&Blade\Modules and name it Napoleonic+ (or whatever you prefer).
5) Download this: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=IAUQU8AY [Alt. Link: http://www.megafileupload.com/en/file/217317/Napoleonic--zip.html]
6) Place the files in your Napoleonic+ folder. Overwrite all.
