Napoleonic Era adds new units of all types, including shared, mercenary and native units. All European civilizations in Napoleonic Era can build the University for 300 wood in Industrial Age, which grants access to powerful technologies and elite units, whose availability varies depending on civilization. Napoleonic Era features new gameplay elements, returning a few well-missed elements from Age of Empires II, like removing the limit of builders working on one building, improving the arsenal and new abilities for Explorers. To be installed successfully, it requires either a fully patched Age of Empires III plus the two expansions The WarChiefs and The Asian Dynasties or the Age of Empires III Complete Collection on Steam.

Napoleonic Era 2.1.7b has automatic installers available for Windows and Mac OS X. In addition to the 14 regular civilizations already offered by Age of Empires III and its two official expansion packs ( The WarChiefs and The Asian Dynasties ), the Napoleonic Era presents the players with an additional set of new playable civilizations that hold their own unique units, technologies, buildings, home cities and tactical abilities.

The Napoleonic Wars were chosen as the mod's theme because they were regarded as the most influential military events during the time period of Age of Empires III, which did not cover Europe, Africa, and Western Asia as historical spheres of interest.
