My biggest regert to buy this game and spend my time playing it I did not enjoyed it that much compare to Empire total war,


I did not liked the fact allies stab your back when you at war with common enemy or just declare war on you the way that doesn't make a sense at all but I did enjoy the system that you can subject a factions you destroy or even creating new once,

The last biggest thing I hate was a silly main genrals system if they die they can come back to life which is so silly as hell I killed a French emperor 12 times he just kept on coming back to life

Also I do not like the fact that map only based on Eyroup come on at that time when I bought that game it did not derserve that much money when it only included Eyroup with less contents from empire total war


Do not buy this game if you like empire total war episode

I got this game, I have not played it very much, but I do have one story for you. Gather round children.

I though, "Yeah, I've studied the Napoleonic wars, I'll be good at this game!" so I hopped on multiplayer.

At first I thought I would be good.

I lost all of my Cavalry and most of my Infantry within fifteen minutes. The only reason I was still alive was because of my artillery.

Then I realized something: I was going to be Wellington. I was going to recover and route all of his infantry.

With the rest of my Line infantry, I ran, leading them into my artillery on a hill. With a combination of cannister shot and Volleys, they were breaking. Then, his cav charged and killed most of my infantry.

But I have forgotten about three units.
Three units that I had moved into the trees at the start of the round and forgotten about.
My rifles.

I quickly moved my rifles into position. They quickly killed many of his militia, causing a route. His cav tried killing them, buy my riflemen were not fazed. They killed almost all of the cav as they charged. When they met my brave riflemen, we lost one man. His cav was dead by my brave riflemen.

Then, in a last ditch effort, he sent in his Grenadiers. His elite infantry against my rifles. They outnumbered them, and they were stronger.

But my Brave riflemen did not run. They fired on them from afar, then, without giving the grenadiers a chance to recover, the brave riflemen, who were full with energy, charged against the tire, wavering grenadiers.

My brave riflemen killed all of the Grenadiers.

The brave riflemen, the last men on the battlefield, the only men to have not routed or died, had won the battle.

Heroic Victory.

10/10, would forget about riflemen then say ♥♥♥♥ it and charge again.

Just noticed I never reviewed this game.

Prior to this game there was Empire: Total War, another game of the Total War series that took place during the 1700-1840.
Cannons and muskets are the dominant force on the field.

As the title suggest the wars you will see and take part in, will be between Napoleonic France and his Allies vs. those that oppose the little Emperor.

Pros
-You enemy is clear for the most part, you do not need to spend so much time in diplomacy.
-The Tech tree has been re-worked and has been dumbed down to focus on Military recruitment, tactics and nation moral. The only part of the tree that still gains technological benefit from research is the Naval Tree, which unlocks better ports and ships.
-Battles are not just about cannons. Calvary has been given a needed boost, making them the fierce opponent they would have been historically.
-Each nation has a respectable and historical (In a sense) start when it comes to regions owned, and troops deployed.
-Very long story campaign.
-Challenging
Cons
-A very annoying sound bug can occur that potentially results in the game crashing. Luckily it tends to only happen on the campaign map.
-France has a Light Calvary unit that has bugged stats, which make it superior against all other types of Calvary. The AI knows this and will field massive armies of this unit if appropriate funds are achieved.
-Ships feel more brittle and will sink with much more ease. (A pro for some)
- Cannons still determine the battle out come. Being that one well placed explosive shell can completely turn the tide of battle.
-Limited number of playable factions to about six.

However there are many mods and online fixes out there to get the game working to the degree you want it too. I do not use mods, and still have fun when I get the Napoleon itch.

One of the best Total War game, but the campaigns are really short. You will not really find a "Grand Campaign" that lasts forever.

Amazing game if you like the Total War Franchise and strategic games, I always play as England, France or Spain and destroy everything in my path, I always do this when I'm playing the campaign and always get the militia units, I never get the hardcore amazing OP units, Maybe 2 grenediers and one Guard unit to protect my general, I always do the realistic stuff with this game! It's quite fun doing the hardcore stuff though.

This is probably the best Napoleonic Strategic game out there in the whole world, I absalutely love it!

- Very Good Optimisation
- A lot of options / setting to configure
- Realistic Napoleonic Wars Formations
- Real time battles, Such as water loo battle and lots of realistic campaigns that Napoleon, France, Austria & Spain did!

I see no downside to buying this game, It's awesome! Probably the best Total War Game (my opinion)

Vive la france as the french would say it Napoleon is the 6th Total War game and is fun if you want to change history around aka break time completely theres barely any mp lobbys open but if you are like me get a few buddys that have this game and there you go 10/10

P.S if you really find this easy get DarthMod and if you don't like napoleon's era then get The Great War as that mod is fun

Napoleon total war is a great game, it has both RTS and Turn Based strategy elements, with the Turn Based portion going on on the overworld map and the RTS portion taking place in all out amazing 19th century battles once you attack something; just on it's own in vanilla it's great but with mods Napoleon Total War is almost a 10/10 for me. As it stands it's one of my favorite games in the Total War series as a whole, it has great atmosphere and has given me some of the best expiriences in gaming.

Try as I must there's not allot of bad to say about Napoleon Total War, apart from some historical innacuracies, and the ocassional glitch but that's standard with any game that sets thousands of soldiers against one another in glorious 19th century combat. If you're into RTS games Napoleon Total War is worth the buy, along with it's other companions in the Total War series.

A great stratagy game and historical setting. Was very pleased with the World Domination Campain, though the time limit for "Victory" or "Defeat" seemed a little pointless because you can keep playin after the set year it "ends".

Mechanics are beutiful, easy to pick up and figure out - and leaves a lot to the stratagy side. Balancing range of weapons, moral, weather, hills or obstructions.

A very detailed and well loved game.
