Does anyone here play this mod by any chance? It a good mod focusing on the late Napoleonic era of 1812-1815.

It never seemed a good idea for a conversion to me. The game mechanics of Mount and Blade lend themselves to the decentralization of feudal politics, not the centralized style of the early modern period. The heart of Mount and Blade gameplay is fief ownership through vassalage; a political system that was virtually dead by the 19th century.

This is true for single player but for the time being Mount and Musket is a multiplayer mod, so politics doesn't really apply to it.
