So, I've been following this mod since its conception, pretty much, and as a result I've seen an awful lot of content go into it, so much so it could probably be justified as a standalone. When it does eventually release, approximately how big is the file going to be? Just curiosity got the better of me.

First off, for every day somebody uses the acronym "lol" to start off a paragraph and end it, I will punch a puppy. Secondly, why did we need to know that?.

Are you Docm30?
I don't get what is meant by "we wouldn't need it". There were always many other good games out there by professional studios and when l'aigle comes out I think I'll find time for both, especially because I waited so long for it. I don't think there is a single game set in the Napoleonic Wars (out of the ones I know) that will be able to compare to l'aigle and I personally adore the Napoleonic Wars time period, so I don't care about the other "good games" out there.

Wait is he just saying that we won't need to play this because there are other games out?
That's what I assumed.

Technically 4 years, as Napoleon had already appointed a sort-of Dictator named Schimmelpenick in 1805.
It's an interesting detail that General H. W. Daendels, the leader of the Batavian rebels in 1795, was made Governor-General of the Dutch east-indies in 1807, pretty much as far away from the new Kingdom as possible.

He send out a message saying all captains should surrender their ships to the British and all colonies should co-orporate with the British to fight the French and the rebels
Nobody listened, of course (Even though many naval captains were loyal to him, the crews really weren't), but the British took this as an welcome excuse to attack the colonies. They also used it as an excuse to keep the Cape in 1815; 'Yeah your dad gave it to us in twenty years ago, so we are gonna keep it now".
During the 1799 invasion however, quite a few ships surrendered themselves to the British and became an independent 'Dutch' squadron within the Royal navy, under the flag of the Prince of Orange. There was also a Holland Brigade made out of prisoners of war and orangists, which was disbanded in 1802.. The ships were sold to the Royal navy.
On the case of Orangeism:
William (Future king I) made a deal with Napoleon that made him Prince of Nassau-Orange-Fulda in 1803, betrayed him in 1806, and was kicked out of power. He entered Austrian service in 1809 and got wounded at Wagram. It's important to remember that the Oranges had already given up all hope to the Dutch throne until he was suddenly called back. The fact he returned in 1813 was not because the people wanted it, but because it was the only way to ensure the victorious Allies wouldn't punish the Netherlands (Some smart politicians at work there). Though, of course, our history books say otherwise.
Yeah, I edited this post like 5 times.

Whilst it will never compare to classic English comedy, some content from WKUK is quite entertaining. They can drag on for a long time, though.
More on-topic: I actually feel that I too will have at least one gentleman character, like Vicccard. I think it could be rather run.

I said most Epi, most. Not all, but most.
