Decided to preorder it. Saved a WHOLE 2 bucks. I will not give a review.
They will make Post-Defection Bernadotte into a 6-6-6
I may do an AAR in my thread, but all the pics will be of Davout.

I liked the Nappy boardgame from long ago that changed Napoleon post 1807 and made him inferior to Davout. :)

iirc the Empires in Arms variant EiH did that. But iirc davoudt was only superior with 2 corps or less.

No, it was some crappy 3W game or something from the late 80s early 90s..all the French corps were the same strength in that stupid game.

Well, in EiH Nappy got nerfed from 5.5.6 to 5.4.6 to 4.4.6 by 1812. Davoudt stayed a 4.5.2. So, EiH did it as well.

You people never learn.
Post-defecation I often feel like I could take on the world.
Post-defecation I tend to feel wiped.

There is the Balkan thread. Go tamas, go to your people.
I don't know, this is another Napoleonic game which only lets Britain win if it conquers Western Europe.
I guess Britain lost the Napoleonic Wars historically?
Well, they use metric now, don't they?

Didn't Britain essentially do this? They drove the French out of Spain and Portugal and France was under their occupation at the conclusion of the wars.
I pre-ordered it too.........12 quid or something.
Of course it won't download now and even the paradox forums appear to have fallen over :hmm: :D
do tell us what you think. I want to be pleasantly surprised
Don't tell him.

soon there will be a new patch for WW1 Gold with a big performance improvement, bug fixings, and improved battle AI. I will let you know, because
I am not a hater.
The Brit AI is too fixated on Hannover. You can kill 60k+ in 1805 easily by wiping out its invasion. 2 corps plus Murat's cavalry does the job.
Other AI stuff: Austria goes after the ottomans. When I declare war, nobody is near the Austrian border. Or the Italian one.
Prussia got raped. By russia and the uk.
Still, I was amused turning Davout's corps into a super corps and smashing people to bits with it. DAVOUT SMASH!
Oh dear, I'm reviewing it.
It's cute that the folks at the P'dox forum seek historical accuracy in the game.
Alright, it's poop. Oh well. No real skin off my back.

It is a pretty slim offering, not much on the economic or trade side.........so just the military stuff. Which I think could be fun if a MP game was set up and beer was available.
Unlike EU or CK that looks like its actually possible to finish an MP game.
Haven't found really fun Napoleonic games since Talonsoft.

Don't bother with HPS Nappy games. Brain dead AI.

Now all those games were cool, especially player on player.
I think what got to me with the game was the wonky AI in the diplomacy, and the management hell of watching multiple fronts in real time. Watching Germany, Italy and Spain gave me a headache.
Oh well, I've spent more money on worse.
Tried it again. Ended up chasing 50K Russians through southern France in 1807. Might have been entertaining if the Benny Hill theme was playing.

The Suvorov Dream Scenario?
This is kinda like I won our group's last Napoleonic Wars game with Russia after Kutuzov ninjaed Zurich and Milan.

We keep beeting the same drum because is gyust pisses you off each time. Water off a duck's back and it won't be fun.. and then we'll go torment somebody else.
Tampax loves it.
Decided to play the ottomans in a last ditch attempt to salvage the game. Racist Austria AI declares war. I notice the ottoman army sucks. Austrian korps swarm over the borders. I discover that by merging Ottoman forces into 50K super corps, I can pick off the AI until newly recruited forces can come up from Thrace.
Actually had fun for a bit. Getting ready to launch 200K Ottomans into Hungary. Fuck BEETS.
10 bucks on Steam, worth it?
Nope.
Raz has taken note. Will not buy.
