Austria is one of the 5 playable factions in Napoleon: Total War. It is a major faction.

==Overview==

[[image:Austria 1263220963 4776.jpg|250px]]

There are matters to be settled between the house of Hapsburg and the upstart Bonaparte. Francis I is the first Hapsburg monarch to use the title Emperor of Austria. His ancient possessions in the Holy Roman Empire have been largely stripped away by a series of military disasters inflicted by the "Emperor" Napoleon. The old Empire is no more.

In Italy and Germany, General Bonaparte personally oversaw military campaigns that broke Austrian Hapsburg dominance. Despite a relatively generous peace settlement in 1801, the Hapsburg throne lost too much. France remains a threat: it is unlikely that Napoleon can ever let matters rest as they are now. His legitimacy as a ruler is bought and paid for in military glory, and that cannot be won in times of peace. His attitude towards other nations is tinged with contempt at best, and hostility at worst.

Austria, then, has to choose sides. Fortunately, there are potential allies in the Russians and the British. Indeed, the British may be ideal allies, for they are likely to want the return of Hannover, thus weakening Prussian power within Germany. They also have an exceptionally large amount of money to help finance their continental allies. The Russians will expect to be compensated for any efforts against Napoleon by Polish territory, but Austria can put up with such an arrangement. The difficulty may lie in coming to an arrangement with Prussia: can Germany be divided equably? But there is much to be gained by finding allies: Austria needs help if she is to regain the lost lands of Italy and, finally, remove the revolutionary threat that is France.

== Starting position ==
Austria has a precarious starting position because it is on the center of the fight with the French, and must deal with Napoleon and his allies (Bavaria, Württemburg and others) and altough it will receive reinforcements from the Russians, they are the primary target for French incursions. You can however try to make alliances with Prussia which will secure your position in Central Europe however do not let Prussia become too strong. You would also have to contain with the perfidious Ottomans who are long time enemies of the Habsburgs and the Austrian Empire and may be willing to invade lands that were stripped by the Austrians in the past like Transylvania.

==Overview==

There is no environment harsher than the desert, and the nomadic tribesmen who inhabit it are as pitiless as the shifting sands. The trackless sandy wastes are littered with the bones of those foolish enough to have ventured there in defiance of those who call this place home. Nomads are experts in using the desert to defeat an enemy before risking an attack, although they tend to fare less well in cooler climes. The nomad's camels can withstand searing temperatures which would quickly exhaust a horse and no horse is happy with the sound and smell of camels either!

A common nomad tactic is to allow the intense heat of the desert to weaken their foe, then to thin their numbers with fire from their archaic-looking matchlocks. Despite their ancient appearance, these muskets are always well-maintained and used to deadly effect. Once the enemy has begun to falter, nomads risk a more direct attack, closing for the kill with their scimitars. The weird ululating battle cries favoured by the nomadic tribesmen are often amongst the last sounds heard by their exhausted and dispirited victims!

Azzars (ETW Unit)

=Prince Nuada=:

These irregular troops are often poorly equipped and ill-disciplined, but they can be a very effective, mobile mob.

==Overview==

Such men have little to do with standard military protocols and practice, or even organisation, often taking up arms in extraordinary circumstances. This lack of discipline means that they can sometimes be extremely brutal, even brutish, in their behaviour. This can work in their favour, in that it gives enemies pause for thought. More typically, their lack of discipline counts against them, and faced with a well-ordered force they can be at a disadvantage. In such a case, their mobility can be a boon, allowing them to harass an enemy and withdraw as soon as the fight goes against them.
