Look this map and this picture and try to find something really new,I cant find to much new things.
I just see a almost equal campaign map,the same cities with the same building,some bridges,exactly the same icons in the user interface ,same advice cards icons,same city name legend,same unit types representation in campaign map,the same flags,the square formation ,..OK the new movement indicator is blue,but we can call this a new game? A mod? A addon? A fraud?

That's Napoleon in 1805 assembling the Grande Armee -- all 594 of them.

Re: We can call this a new game?
It only looks as a major mod, least of all a new game.

Re: We can call this a new game?
Indeed. All Europe will be brought to its knees by the wrath of Napoleon and his 594 soldiers!

Re: We can call this a new game?
Napoleon Total War could have many names,but not a NEW GAME. Big patch,official mod,retry of ETW,fraud,embezzlement,trickery,money maker, ATM,what they wished to call,but not a new game.

BTW, the last screen has been taken with the ETW engine...

Re: We can call this a new game?
There's lots of pessimistic users here, oh well atleast their not an angry mob.

Re: We can call this a new game?
This is a new game totally like RTW and Barbarian Invasion I think you mean...
Shoot coward! You are only going to kill a man! -
Re: We can call this a new game?

Barbarian Invasion and Kingdoms where quite different from RTW and M2TW, quite possible more different than the difference between ETW and Napoleon... Originally Posted by GHOSTMUZIKBEATZ

Re: We can call this a new game?
there really isn't enough content to justify calling it a new game. Virtually all the "features" announced are actually minor and were included in previous TW titles. For these reasons, I wouldn't consider it a new game. I would consider it an expansion, it probably has enough content to call it that. However, it might actually be better classified as DLC, meaning there is only a very small amount of new content. I don't think CA wants to charge a DLC price of 10 dollars, but they don't want to charge 30 either (which is the upper price of an expansion). So we have a 40 dollar price tag which is the price of a new indie game, but the content only merits a 30 dollar price tag at most, and very possibly a 10 dollar price tage in fairness.

Re: We can call this a new game?
Nice to see people are finaly getting it. NTW was supposed to be an add-on. It`s been turned into a rushed Standalone for full price. CA\SEGA don`t want you to know that, but it`s obvious.
And as far as we know, ETW has been completely abandoned for it (save the odd rumour that BAI might be fixed). -
Re: We can call this a new game?
Where are you doing your window shopping? Play & Amazon UK both have it for Ł18. Did you buy ETW at release for Ł18, hot damm, I was ripped, I paid near Ł30. Originally Posted by Humble Warrior

Re: We can call this a new game?
Well it ain't a full price game in Europe. @ €23.99 that is cheaper than Kingdoms was. ETW was €38.99

Re: We can call this a new game?
It's a rushed expansion that's being sold as a standalone game. CA spent close to 4 years making ETW. Do you really think CA could develop a slew of new features for NTW in less than one year?
I'm betting most of what you'll see in NTW was supposed to be in ETW.The extra development time will allow us to finalize and polish Empire, making it the most accomplished and epic of the Total War series." said Kieran Brigden, Studio Communications Manager at The Creative Assembly. "There is a great deal of anticipation around Empire: Total War and we want to ensure that it is the benchmark for strategy games upon its release.
