    Witout this option the game has no much sense, the french player and AI must have the option of creating countries in region conquered like helvetian republic, rhin confederacy, duchy of warsovy, and even the other countries must have that option, for example france figth for put a vasall in spain, kingfom of spain for example but the allies want a bourbon kingdom of spain that a nd other option must be included if not is only conquer all europe without a sense

    Another option is that AI vassall countries help whit troops for his master and money, an example whit the new option of reinforcement that CA make, a french army in french soil has 100% of reinforcement in vasall lands 70%, in allies lands 40% and in enemy land 10% this is aplied for all countries of course

    This is critical. Napoleon redrew the map of Europe and the Coalition strove to resist and undo his changes. That was a major reason for the length of the war. At a minimum I think France should be able to create the Confederation of the Rhine and the Grand Duchy of Warsaw. If the Coalition reconquers those lands then they should be able to undo this.

    It would certainly add a new dimension to the gameplay, but if I had to choose between owning a new territory or turning into a vassal state where I get only half the income, I think I'd rather own it outright. CA would have to tweak the benefits a vassal state gives...
    Let me persuade you with my powerful logic skills.

    In light of the Total War series, a quote from the theologian whom I respect the most:

    The Heavenly City outshines Rome, beyond comparison. There, instead of victory, is truth; instead of high rank, holiness.

    It's certainly a feature that would improve the game, though I don't think it's as much of a priority as others seem to think.

    YES!!! Let me liberate Ukraine from russian tyrany and austrian rule!!

    Seriously, that feature would make the game twice more exciting, especially if one could use units editor and create authentic uniformes for liberatet countries.

    This is a feature that has been asked for some time now, however the biggest features CA is touting is being able to repair your ships during battle and the supply line. I'm sure if it was an intended feature would have heard something by now. To be honest when I think of the potential NTW has and I actually see what the actually features are the more I get disappointed. I honestly don't think the people behind the TW series have the same passion they once did.

    Yes I wonder if they really put much thought into their games at this point. What features they do put in always seem to be either half-baked, flawed, or simply don't work. They seem to be satisfied with nice graphics.

    That's because they are running out of ideas. Look at:

    Age of Empires 1 - Epic
    Age of Empires 2 - Great
    Age of Empires 3 - Good, but not as 'good' as aoe1 (why?)

    Empire Earth 1 - Yay
    Empire Earth 2 - GTFO

    COD1 - Woot an FPS
    COD2 - ~
    COD3 - lalalalala
    COD4 - Yipee new stuff call choppergun blow bang bang bang
    COD5 - Same as cod 4 with ripoff nazi zombie mode. BOO
    COD6 - Well, america can't win all the wars...Need a new idea.

    RTW - OMG haxx I get to command a real army in da battal!!!
    Mtw, m2tw, shogun, etc - Yay an improved version of RTW !! New features are awsome...
    ETW - Eh...same as other ones but with guns


    It isn't the game designers fault, we are just running out of ideas.

    This is a feature I've been really craving in ETW. Sometimes I'd like to create a buffer nation (like Hungary) and they're causing a large income drop due to rebellion and tying down my troops.

    If you let them revolt to create a nation currently they become your enemy. Bah.

    This feature should already have been in ETW. CA, you need to add this to NTW! It really would improve gameplay experience!

    it would be cool but there is no reason to do so from a gameplay standpoint

    I would have to strongly disagree, think about it for a second. If Prussia and Great Britain are allied and France captures all of the Prussian regions but GB was able recapture them they could restore the Prussian State if they wished.

    from an historical or role playing point of view thats good, but from a gameplay view it would be better to have these territories as your own, mainly due to the fact that you get all the wealth from them and can build troops from them, it also makes you more influential so in the case that the diplomatic AI is fixed you will have more say in what happens

    Not always my friend, some regions don't generate significant wealth and it would be more costly to station an army there to defend the lands vs making them a vassal/liberate which would allow you move your forces where they are needed and still generates a small income. If armies are going to be harder to gather it might not be feasible to spam a new army to occupy the new conquered regions.

    Yes but for example, if Russia in the allies liberate prussia yes the player can take the lands but must enfrents events that allow prussia go free and the rebellions and that can make that prussian people make an alliance whit napoleon, remember that allies figth for make the world stay the same as before napoleon

    I always say yes to more options in single player games.

    It is something you'd expect to see in the game-the Batavian Republic, the Rhineland Confederation, the Grand Duchy of Warsaw etc etc etc.


    Something.......you'd.......................expect............................to....................................................see.



    I feel a burst of cynical ranting coming on, so I'll leave it at that.
