Napoleon Total War

Today on http://www.totalwar.com/ CA presented the latest title in the series!

Napoleon: Total War is the new chapter in 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.

Whether you play as the legendary General or against, the outcome of war can never be guaranteed. The course of history relies on your ability to lead your troops through the most intense battles as never seen before in a Total War game.

hmmm...it looks like I might have a new tw game to add to my collection.

I don't if any of you guys heard about it, but it's due to be out February. It's a standalone game, not an expansion pack apparently, even though it uses the Empires engine.

Very detailed fourty minute interview.

I went straight to the battle portion and my jaw dropped. Sounds tight, like straight up legit. The general's influence sphere of aura sounds more complex and realistic as do the semi destructable terrains. And the zoom out rendering progress is something i am anticipating now that ive rebuilt my computer.

Ill be picking this up based on this commentary alone. Thanks Rom!

Yeah man I cant wait!

It looks good. I thought it was the mod for RTW at first....

It plays alot more like RTW, belive it or not. The games seem to go faster even though the maps are bigger.

ill get it soon i cant say im real excited about it tho,its the same era as last game i would like something different(dark ages or rome 2 ).

It plays alot better than Empires Celtic.

I said i wasnt going to buy it for a while till i seen reviews but ive got TW in the blood,downloading NTW now so ill see you guys on the battlefield.I hope its better than ETW

Except for the chat lobby still sucking, its awsome!

Ive had a couple crash to windows,boru after that game crashed did it feck your screen res up when you went back on?

So far its no bad,i liked that map yous hosted

It didnt mess up my res just through me to the d top. That map was a 4v4 that I set for 3v3, it was sweet, I wish we could have seen the end of that one. Great game, I hope they resolve those random crash's.

i got it ill probably be on later tonight theres a game at 1030 i wanna watch thow so kindda late.

amazon finally delivered

Hell yeah! Did you get a bad-ass arty with your copy? Lets get some kills in!

Not yet
amazon has to email me the code, whenever that's gonna happen.

i think it sucks,i regret buying it again.sega has destroyed total war.why they just remade the same game that the hardcore total war players already rejected is a mystery to me. ill be on late for a couple of team battles if any one wants ill give it a little time but im a little furious they didnt fix the empire game i payed 70 dollars for.instead they remade the same game made it look better and ROBBED me of 40 more dollars.

I really like it, I think its the most tactical game I've ever played. I dont know what there is to hate unless you just dont like the timeframe.
I like empires alot too, I didnt play it much only becouse I'd rather be playing something with you guys. Empires run perfect if you install the correct drivers. ( https://imperator.rpg-board.net/empires-chat-f22/nvidia-drivers-t1558.htm read the last posts)
I'll be on late tonight, I'd love to get in some games.

i dont love the time frame but even if i did i wouldnt have bought the same game twice,i got bored of it the first time quick and dont know if i have the will to get back into it right away ill be on later mabey normal size units would help.

i guess my opinion of the game is if u like empires u will love it cause the graphics are better and it runs smoother.if u dont like empires chances are u wont like this either so might not be wise to buy it.

normal unit scale is a big improvment,i couldnt take a screen shot cause it went back to the beging to fast.im up for some games later.

small units was a blast

I cant stand small units in any TW game, feels too much like I'm playing with little toys. Then again I havent tried it on Napy yet.

Im glad your giving it a go Celtic, I think I'll be playing it pretty often.
