    Default Help for a Napoleon Noob

    So, i recently got Napoleon, and i must say, it is very good but hell of a lot different than Shogun strategy wise. I do fine in shogun with about 60% win rate, but in Napoleon, my win rate is about, meh, 10%, maybe 20%. I have no idea what a good army build is. I have no idea what a good ratio of very good units to not as good units is, and ratio of cavalry to infantry, to artilary. My tactics in shogun are obsolete here, and whatever i try is null. Some basic strategies and tactics would be much appreciated and, along with any advice on army builds. Thank you for your time.

    P.S. excuse my bad grammar, im american

    have a look at JM videos http://www.youtube.com/user/TWReplays he has some really good tutorials

    also I like all TW games and play both shogun and NTW all the time. so i think i'm not too biased - and NTW is more precise and tactical in unit movement so it can take a while to get it right. but lots of pracitce against good clans and players and saving and watching your replays will help.

    Anyone from the following clans are very active and will probable gladly help you - HMG, HAWK, TITANS and TNC
    Best Regards

    The machines rose from the ashes of the nuclear fire. Their war to exterminate mankind had raged for decades, but the final battle would not be fought in the future. It would be fought here, in our present. Tonight...

    Listen, and understand. That terminator is out there. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.

    hey guys i need some help.

    mainly on armies:

    for large... french, prussian, gb, ottoman armies good for 1v1 and/or team games
    Why does anyone make an internets clan? There is no material advantage to it. We get no money from it, no resources, nothing tangible at all. Perhaps it is a longing for identity, a sense of belonging, and shared values, the very things that have been destroyed by the scourge of liberal-capitalist individualism. Perhaps we all secretly desire to pwn peoples' faces and flame them afterwards. Perhaps a trollface.jpg lurks within all our hearts. Perhaps it is all of those things. It is possible to perceive similarities between the growth of clans and the post-war rise in football fan clubs, new age cults, and religious fundamentalism. As our leaders neglected collectivist concepts like "the nation" and encouraged capitalist individualism and atomistic self-interest, we looked to other forms of collective identity to fill the void. And that, perhaps, is what the TW community really is. A haven of camaraderie and collectivism in a self-interested, materialist and individualistic world.

    I get all light cav instead of any heavy cavalry. The light cav can launch lightning attacks while the heavy cav is slow and expensive.

    Play as Spain and use to guerillas to wipe out enemy artillery. This catches people out all the time, even relatively experienced players.
