Napoleon: Total War™

History is as yet unwritten.

Napoleon: Total War™ is the new chapter to the critically acclaimed Total War™ series and opens up a new narrative layer to the genre-defining franchise. From the early Italian campaign to the battle of Waterloo, Napoleon covers two decades of relentless battles, a backdrop of a world in flames against which the story of an extraordinary military career unfolds.

I'm never touching this series again.

[Cecil]

Sorry but I dont fancy getting urinated on again.

[Alcibiades]

Won't buy this.

[Razgovory]

I haven't bought Empire.  I doubt I'll buy this.

[Syt]

I'll wait for mods to fix it before buying. I liked Shogun, didn't try Medieval 1, didn't like Rome, loved Medieval 2, was sorely disappointed by Empire.

I haven't bought Empire.  I doubt I'll buy this.

I could see myself getting it if the demo and critique was good. I'm a sucker for lovely maps, and the Egypt map in Stainless steel was nice.

[Jaron]

Looks GREAT!

[Fate]

I'll buy this. If I keep supporting this company, eventually they'll make Shogun II...

[Lettow77]

 Loved shogun, M:TW and R:TW (well, EB anyway..). Didint get empire, or MTW2; this has even more potential than that disaster empire to produce the secession war mod i've always wanted.

[Faeelin]

I'll buy this. If I keep supporting this company, eventually they'll make Shogun II...

Or you could, you know, not buy their products until they make Shogun II.

I tried that with Firaxis waiting for SMACII.

It does not work

[KRonn]

I still play R:TW on occasion. I usually tire of it when I have too many battles, which take a lot of time (I don't usually like using auto-battles). But still, fun game and good variety to it.

[DGuller]

My M2TW with Stainless Steel now works very well on my new computer.  Unfortunately, it's a huge time-waster.

[Razgovory]

I deeply disliked Shogun.  Loved Medieval 1 and Rome and Medieval 2 and very hesitant to get Empire since it apparently doesn't work.
