Paradox Interactive announced today the release of a new update for the recently-released Napoleonic War strategy game March of the Eagles. This new update adds in the complete set of modding tools from the popular Crusader Kings II game, allowing players to customize their game in any way possible, as well as play with multiple mods in one game.

The update also fixes retreat paths and preventing low-morale units from entering enemy-controlled territory, which was a complaint of a few players having to chase around enemy units. New historical generals have been added, along with new combat mechanics and battle sounds. Old saves should still function without any trouble. A full changelog is below:
