Napoleon Total War. I believe it's out. No excitement here?

One thing I like is that if you attack an enemy army that has lots of guns, it will not always rush you, they will happily shell you until you are forced to attack. The Danes gave me a nasty surprise, I only had howitzer support and forgot just how flat that damned country is.

Lost a looot of men in that one, nowhere to hide, and my cavs desperate flanking manouver was cut down like grass.

But yeah, battles are too easy after a while. Still, I reckkon modders will fix this.

OK was totally disappointed in Empire - but it looks like N may be worth looking into.

Hmm, just knoticed, Napoleon has a follower who flys a hot air balloon? does the hot air balloon help with finding enemy stuff in battle?

I do believe it does, you can see it floating around in battle.

Yea, quite a cool addition.

I bought Empire and it was a traumatic experience, the potential was so great but i belive its still a broken game with no patches coming.
Ive understood that even the mods cant fix it, am i right?

This limited campaign and period in Napoleon doesnt excite me as much but is this playable? I might consider buying it.

I tried the demo. I like the graphics but frankly I cant see myself buying it for some time.

The engine seems to be close to ready for a serious Civil War Total War but I do hope they remake Shogun first.
