Paradox Interactive has today announced the release of the all-new DLC to Mount & Blade: Warband for the PC. Titled Napoleonic Wars, the DLC brings the brutal real-time combat of Mount & Blade to 19th Century Europe, presenting players with the opportunity to re-fight the final years of the Napoleonic Wars as any of five historical superpowers, using more than 220 unique military units.

Under the close supervision and support of Taleworlds, Mount & Blade Warband: Napoleonic Wars was developed by Flying Squirrel Entertainment to bring the visceral, tactical combat of Mount & Blade into a new era of warfare. The expansion features:

• Accurate early 19th century weapons, uniforms and environments
  
• Massive multiplayer battles with up to 250 players
  
• 5 nations with more than 220 unique units to choose from
  
• A wide range of artillery pieces ranging from field cannons to mortars, capable of firing a variety of missiles such as canister, explosive shells and even rockets - all fully controllable by players

• Construct barricades, dig trenches, and rig explosives with the multi-purpose Engineer class
  
• Special musician units with drums, fifes, bagpipes or trumpets, able to play historically accurate tunes; all recorded and played by award winning musicians
