Don't get your hopes up

Don't get your hopes up for Napoleon as I feel it is going to be much of the same stuff as Empire. I have a feeling it will be Empire with slightly better effects and a little less bugs. The things they brag about don't seem like much incentive. "Ships will have the ability to repair themselves at sea". I have heard this one so much that I think maybe they will put it on the box. "Drop in battles for the campaign mode" tells me the bai is much the same as Empire and this is the solution. How many people do you think are actually gonna want to get online only to fight a battle with you where they are outnumbered and playing a faction they do not care to play. Even though I have my doubts, I will probably end up buying Napoleon. I just hope that there is more mp maps to play on and that units will fire before every unit gets into formation. There is nothing worse than watching my skirmishers facing the firing squad of the enemy and not returning fire because they are reorganizing their lines. I don't expect much from this game and I'm a little upset at paying full price for beta Napoleon (Empire). Oh well!

Thats nice to know.

I agree with you on the whole drop in battle idea, I mean maybe if you were given a certain amount of money and could choose the makeup of the AI army

because it goes against the whole point of doing a drop in battle vs. a normal mp battle

then again..its just your opinion

Cool story, bro

Paragraphs are your friend.

Well without the bugs Empire total war would have been a fantastic game so if NTW fixes a lot of the problems then it should be worth my time

I think they made it so you won't drop in as a single militia unit vs a whole SP stack, but when both armies are more or less equal or at least quite numerous, the option will appear.

i think Ryangreenleaf probably right i mean has ca even fixed the melle bug yet

but ill buy ntw for the campaign (bored with etw)

Agree with you. I have ordered ETW 2 months before the release. For NTW i will wait a few weeks while reading impressions of people who buy it on this forum.

You're not alone.

I believe I've seen not competely formed units fire in videos, and there are alot of new MP maps that are fair instead of giving a giant hill to one side. That should give you some hope! That being said, BAI will suck. BAI for all rts games will suck for at least 10 years. CA can't really change that... Deal with it and use drop-in battles, which should keep the battles fresh and more unique than AI ever can.

Since ETW, I have learned never to get my hopes up with CA\SEGA. NTW was and is just ETW 2.0, what all purchasers of ETW should have had.

This is really off-topic, but why exactly is steam ethically wrong? And when will you ever find a better way to say this?

When you learn to read my other posts on the subject.

Truly a humble warrior would expect me to search through all of his posts to see his views on all things. /sarcasm. Blow me.

I love the delusional prophets that inhabit our lovely forums...
