NTW vs ETW

**Horgo Splendis** · June 17, 2011, 10:47 AM

I have searched for a simular topic but could not find one. If there is one please point me in that direction. I like most of you am a Total War junkie. Limited play time in my adult life has led to me being unable to actually conquer like I have in the older Total War games. I want to start a new campaign but am torn between ETW and NTW. I was looking for others opinions on why they like one over another. A compare and contrast if you will. What appeals to you about Empire and Napoleon?

Napoleon
-better ai
-Better looking map (but smaller)
-Better looking units with more variety
-Cooler effects
-Generally more polished

Empire
-More facs, bigger map...

You "forgot" the cons, Hedge Knight:

NTW
-Short, little, dude with an appetite for killing Russians, Prussians, Italians, British, and Iberians
-No Samurai

ETW
-Pesky Natives with balls of steel (steel of which they don't even have!)
-No short, little, dude with an appetite for killing Russians, Prussians, Italians, British, and Iberians

Both
-No Mod Tools!

But in all seriousness, I've enjoyed the Empire campaign more, but many players prefer the Napoleon Campaign. I just like the epicness and scale of Empire.
