Napoleon Total War

Postby matthewdev » Mon Mar 15, 2010 8:57 pm

Has anyone tried out the new Napoleon Total War yet? I just gave it a go recently and while it seems fairly similar to the previous one (Empire Total War) it seems to have a few improvements!

Does anyone else play this series?

I have it and I love it. I also play Empire total war. I am just a bit lazy to post screens up. ;D

I play Empire, I have played Medieval II but I did not like it very much...Napoleon looks like Empire but set a little more forward (Even though is it 1784 and I almost have steam engines :D

I know what you mean about posting screenies...  ;D Is there a way to get rid of all the control panels to take screen shots?

My favorite new feature with Napoleon Total War is how in the campaign armies dwindle in size due to desertion and disease when placed in harsh conditions, it makes you really not want to get stuck in a big offensive during winter!

I have it and prefer it over Empire (even though im American) It seems to run smoother at higher settings. I have only played the Italian campaign I just cant seem to win it. I beseige Klagenfurt (or whatever the name is) and either run out of time or get my @ss handed to me.

Get some much artillery and line infantry as you can, It works every-time!

I have noticed that artillery is much more effective in Napoleon,  I find it disastrous if I lose them on a campaign and can't replace them quickly! They seem to be much more effective then in Empire...
