    Default Napoleon: Total War

    Lol might as well start a thread for it...

    I dont want to get my hopes up too much... But Napoleon was what I was hoping for when Empire was announced..... It looks good. Just read an interview with that Kerian guy.. Although it didnt mention a Grand Campaign however hmmm.

    Your thoughts?

    I'd like it to be a grand campaign because I never can play scenario type games for more than a day or two.
    Looks like it will be more a scenario though.

    The battles could be epic . I get the idea that battles in that era were more deadly and decisive but that may just be an impression . I like that era for units and uniforms. Then next Victorian total war.

    Yeah I wouldnt mind what they are doing as long as there is a Grand Campaign.... I think its been confirmed that there is though so that good.

    Hopefully go love the battles.... I think they should somehow open it up to people who have the hardware for battles of 50000 each side etc.

    PS: If you have both games, ETW will get the NTW content as you approach the 1800's timeline

    Attrition system? If this has script hooks it'd make me a happy Panda and buy NTW

    No thing is everything. Every thing is nothing.

    CA have stated that they are still working in the MP campaign and it will be released before NTW! They have also promised us that they will continue with patching ETW

    this is really welcome. The clones are starting to get to me.

    All sounds good. I'm definitely getting for these visual things

    Clone armies dont really phase me that much to be honest.... Im almost hardly ever zoomed in enough to notice anyway.... For me I would rather that each mans body shape was slightly different more than their faces... Or have like uniforms begin to wear and tear etc....

    Love the dust idea, Im surprised that was implemented ages ago in other TW's like come on a lot of men walking creates something... especially in dry environments.
