The 3 best Napoleonic PC games ever

Looking forward to hearing your opinions:

Fields of Glory (Amiga/ Microprose)
Battleground 3 Waterloo (PC /TalonSoft)
Napoleon Total War (PC/CA)


Aaaa, memories...

Napoleon TW
Cossacks

those are the only two ive played so... xD

yeh cossacks battle for europe was pretty good!

Waterloo: Napoleon's Last Battle

http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/...tle/index.html

and

Austerlitz: Napoleon's Greatest Victory

http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/...sgv/index.html

While the first two games have a great tactical depth Napoleon TW probably comes in at nr 3 because of the nice visuals and its easy "sporadic play" setup.

I vote Fields of Glory w00t

1. Fields of Glory
2. NTW
3. Imperial Glory...only because I don't know another game set during the Napoleonic Wars (Although the game is still a bit rubbish)

Spot on!

Was perfectly balanced and you had to pay close attention to formations, ground and morale.

The morale system was excellent and really rewarded careful deployment and the red cone showing how effective your fire was was hugely helpful in deciding whether you keep slugging it out or make a run for it.

I was also a big fan of the way that brigade and division commanders could be used to control their respective formations.

NTW I think is the best..

Imperial Glory.

Imperial Glory gets my vote although it is the only other one I've played. Of course NTW is better IMO.

agreed. bad game. was fun for a few hours until you realized the complete lack of depth.

NTW and EU3 are my votes.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Ageods 'Campaigns of Napoleon' was good but complicated.

Ageod was nuts! Amazing detail, but the learning curve was wayyy toooo steep...I remember trying the Civil war one, to no avail!

Yes amazing detail but I enough to fry your brains. I couldn't even win the 1805 campaign the first time.

Cossacks was fun, i lended it to a friend adn i let him keep it, but i might get it of ebay for like 5 mdollars or sumptin!

Cossacks 2 had pretty amazing battle structure (clever use of roads, replenishment and all), but its campaign battle map was horribly simple.

Don't you wish that sometimes you could combine the good elements of each game to form a 'super game'...

Let me start it up:
1) the road use in cossacks
2) real time battle feel of NTW
3) campaign battle map of NTW
4) symbols and 'macro-level' birds eye view of Sid Meier's Antietam (where, when you zoom out enough, you see military symbols and lines)

....you all get my drift...

-Napoleon Total War
-Cossacks II
-Histwar Les Grognards

If we could combine the battle system of Cossacks II, the epicness, the AI, the battle layout with regiments and division and historical accuracy of Histwar, and the graphical, the Campaign map and 3D RTS of NTW, we would have the perfect Napoleonic game!

NTW
Cossacks II

yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
