Napoleon: Total War

Overview

Napoleon: Total War is set during the extremely turbulent and violence filled Napoleonic Era, from 1805 - 1815. In a period where France could potentially destroy the balance of power within Europe alliances matter, old rivals come together and friends turn to enemies.

Napoleons Italian campaign highlights his struggles against the mighty Austrian empire and her friends in Italy, where management and efficiency is vital. The Egyptian campaign brings a different challenge all together, Napoleon must fight his way up through the Mamelukes and deal with constant nuisance raids from the British in order to achieve his goal. And then the Russian Bear presents a new challenge with her climate, even the best general will struggle to avoid the cold and push through. Patience and cunning will be needed here.

Napoleon: Total War also gives the player a chance to play as the Coalition of Great Britain, Austria, Prussia or Russia to stop France achieving her ambitions to conquer Europe. In this campaign great skill will be needed as any nation to work together with their allies in order to survive.

This game also brings some revolutionary new features to the Total War series. Creative Assembly has introduced a new system called Attrition. Attrition areas are scattered through the various campaign maps and will drastically effect your campaign if not considered when planning. Troops entering these 'attrition areas' will be effected by the weather and will quickly lose troop numbers during the Winter or Summer months depending on the type. As well as new systems CA has improved systems from Empire: Total War such as diplomacy. The player now has a greater range of diplomatic actions, such as asking a Faction to perform a trade embargo with another faction, or to join in a war against another faction as your ally.
