I originally wanted an Open-ended Napoleonic strategy game, but can't find one that people seem to be crazy about. I tried out both Cossacks 2 and Imperial Glory. I don't want a scripted campaign, I want something I can shape into my own...is there such a game? Is there a naval game that is like this? I looked at Pacific Storm, but once again, I'm thrown in between people that say it rocks and people that say it sucks. I've also looked at distant guns, but I'm in the dark as to how it actually is. I dug out my old Age of Sail 2, and quickly realised why I put it up (very fun, but the water rendering hurts my eyes)...so yeah, any suggestions?

Since you seem to like the Napoleonic era, are you aware of the "Napoleonic Total War" mods?
http://lordz.thelordz.co.uk/ There are versions for Medieval Total War and Rome: Total War. The version based on RTW has gorgeous graphics but no campaign mode, which is criminal IMO.
The MTW version has a very enjoyable, fully functional single player campaign but by now the graphics are a bit dated. I am hoping that the team either adds a campaign to the RTW-based game or produces one based on Medieval 2.
