As before, players will be forging an empire on a large map littered with cities, production and learning centers, ports and – of course – armies and fleets. With that in mind, I can't think of a single person to be the center of attention in a Total War game than him.Īt the heart of Napoleon, we find the engine of the original Empire: Total War. Napoleon took Europe by storm and showed himself not only a magnificent general but also an outstanding administrator. I have often said that, living in Holland, we would be speaking French if Napoleon had listened to his generals and not attempted to invade Russia.
As we have come to expect from a Total War game, an expansion was announced not too long after and was recently released in the form Napoleon: Total War.Īs the title suggests, this stand-alone expansion focuses on the battles of Napoleon Bonaparte, one of the most successful and illustrious generals in history. Finally armchair strategists were able to partake in series' characteristic epic scale using the Line Infantry units that changed the shape of warfare forever. That game took the franchise into the age of gunpowder. It is hard to fathom that yes, another year went by since Sega released Empire: Total War.
