The '''''Napoleonic Era''''' is a GameMod for ''VideoGame/AgeOfEmpiresIII'' that switches the focus of the game from the colonization of the Americas to war in Europe and the Mediterranean area, also reducing the time-span of the game (from 1492 to about 1870 in the original, to 1550-1815). The French revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars receive special attention, with the fourth age being entirely set in the first and the fifth in the second.

** Despite the name, the first modding team was more concerned with adding cool things they considered missing than with actually bringing the focus to the Napoleonic Wars. The current team is bringing it more in line with the latter idea, to the point of discarding already completed units that are too archaic, unbalanced or HollywoodHistory-ish.

* UsefulNotes/TheCityStateEra: The Italians in-game represent the various Italian realms and city-states, and can receive support from them. High-level players can even receive aid from the Papal States as well. Curiously, they're led by Cesare Borgia.
* DeathFromAbove: Artillery is noticeably more powerful and varied here, reflecting Napoleon's penchant for cannons.
* DoingItForTheArt: In addition to the graphical and gameplay alterations, the modders went through the trouble of finding (if not possibly recording) new language tracks for the various factions.
* DuelingGames: With the ''VideoGame/WarOfTheTripleAlliance'' and ''[[http://www.knightsandbarbarians.com/ Knights and Barbarians]]'' mods, among others. Although the competition is rather friendly, with quite a bit of overlapping influence among the modders.
* EliteMooks: While many of the nations have their own respective variants of this (like Prussia's Death's Head Hussars), the French can ship elite Napoleonic troops from the homeland.
* EmptyLevels / PoisonMushroom: Of a sort. Some of the randomized "upgrades" for your units or faction in general actually bring about penalties (like "Pacifism" or "Malthusian Disaster"), encouraging players to be careful with how they research.
* HornyVikings: Averted with the Swedes, though they were a major European power during mod's (and main game's) time period.
* HiredGuns / PrivateMilitaryContractors: The Italians can ship in mercenary armies from their homeland for a fee. The Condotierri meanwhile are described as basically mercenary knights.
* LargeHam: The Italians, in a nod to the main game's Elmeti units.
* MortonsFork: The Imperial Age politicians for the French [[spoiler:both of whom are none other than NapoleonBonaparte, as First Consul and Emperor respectively.]]
* MultinationalTeam: The Austrians are essentially this by default, with their ''Grenzers'' evidently meant to be Czech/Bohemian, while their Hussars are clearly intended to be Hungarian (complete with their own [[ObviousBeta stand-in language]] voices).
* NintendoHard: The AI has been revamped to make even a normal-difficulty skirmish a challenge. Not to mention making said enemies unafraid to use artillery against you.
* ObviousBeta: There are still some bugs and unfinished bits to be ironed out, along with some additional factions and features. That said, the current version is very much playable.
* PolesWithPoleaxes: Poland is nicely represented in-game, with a mix of early-game melee units and late-game powerhouses like the (in)famous Winged Hussars.
* SettlingTheFrontier: The Americans have a decidedly frontier-colonial aesthetic compared to the European factions, which is reflected in their units, gameplay and even architecture.
* TheSoundOfMartialMusic: The mod makes Austria a playable faction, with many of their units and technologies reflecting the multinational and multicultural nature of the Habsburg Empire.
* ShoutOut: Quite a few references and crossover elements are present. Britain's skirmishers for instance are clearly based on Sharpe, while the Hassassin "Natives" in some of the custom maps are the Assassins from ''AssassinsCreed'' in all but name, complete with eagle vision and hidden blades. Meanwhile, the Swiss and French incorporate some gameplay elements from the Norse and Atlantean civilizations respectively from ''AgeOfMythology.''
* TheTeutonicKnights: Teutonic Knights are available as a powerful, early-game unit for the Prussians. Leveling up however allows the Knights to be upgraded to become useful in the late-game.
