Napoleon Total War

[Martim Silva]

So, what do you guys think of the next expansion for Empire: Total War?

The Napoleonic setting was obvious, but I'm interested to hear that they improved the multiplayer campaign.

Also new and rather interesting is the 'drop-in' feature... this basically allows human players to enter your single player game and take control of the stack you're attacking. So you're not sure you'll be facing the AI or a human.

Suddenly, those large stacks of other factions seem a LOT more menacing...

Nobody cares for Bernadotte fagg0try and treachery.

I care.

I thought it was a brand new game, not an expansion.

The very first words in the link I posted:

New GAME - not expansion - full game in the Total War series.  I guess Empire: Total War was the beta for this?

What I'm not clear on is whether this is a new game or an expansion. Do I need Empires to play it?

Not only do you need Empire, but you also need Medieval 2, Rome, Medieval 1, and Shogun, along with all their expansions.

Go ahead and go buy those and get back to us.

It's what annoyed the fans the most. If it were an expansion, they were hoping it would have resolved many of the issues of Empires.

But it's a new game...

Anyone who has the game, I'd be interested to know how they modeled the problems of line formation on the attack.

Sounds pretty cool - do you need the other game for it, or is it a stand alone?
