KS MOD supplemental maps question

Post by Chichetr »

Hey guys!

Question about the KS supplemental maps; there are a ton of maps that say "ACW...[insert name]", will these also work for KS MOD or are these something else? Just thought it was strange that ACW maps would be included in a MOD map pack.

The only maps that will work with Waterloo are those with a country name in front.

The KS Supplemental Maps pack is universal and can be used with the KS Mod for Waterloo or with the KS Couriers and Maps Mod for Gettysburg. This is why there are ACW maps in the mod. It saves us keeping two mods updated.

Please also note that a number of the "country" named maps are based on the original and DLC Gettysburg maps and for these to work you will need to own the Gettysburg base game and in some cases its DLC packs as well.

The reason for this is that the KS Mod began as a series of Mods for Gettysburg and we were playing Napoleonics using the "Road to Wagram" Nap mod for Gettysburg many years before Waterloo was released. We therefore had dozens of maps already available that worked with Gettysburg and we simply ported these over to work with Waterloo.

Anyone who just owns Waterloo has access to a lot of extra maps, but those who also own Gettysburg and its various DLCs will have access to many more.

BTW, this is also the reason why some of the KS Mod maps have American style colonial buildings on them and not European ones. We do not have a map modder on our team to convert the buildings.

HITS & Couriers - a different and realistic way to play SoW MP.
