Gunpowder smoke lingers and reduces visibility in protracted engagements. Many of Napoleon's major battles such as Austerlitz, Trafalgar, and Waterloo are available as historical scenarios, separate from the campaign.Ī new physics system has been implemented for the real-time battles, so that when cannon balls hit the ground, for instance, they leave impact craters.

Each major campaign requires players to obtain a certain number of territories, although the latter also demands that the French are defeated. Conversely, the "Campaigns of the Coalition" allows players to govern Great Britain, Russia, Prussia or the Austrian Empire and attempt to defeat Napoleonic France on the same map. The major French campaign, however, is "The Mastery of Europe," which resembles the holistic modes of previous Total War games. Both feature smaller, optional missions that help drive the story forward. The first career event is the Italian campaign of 1796, while the second is the French invasion of Egypt in 1798. Napoleon: Total War contains four campaigns, two of which follow Napoleon's early military career. įrench actor Stephane Cornicard provides voice-acting for Napoleon Bonaparte in the original English, and German, French, and Spanish editions. Pre-orders made via the Steam content delivery system included another special unit: the Royal Scots Greys. The Emperor's Edition was released only in Australia and New Zealand, and is the only variant to include a 200mm statuette of the general and his field journal. All boxed versions include the "Elite Regiment," a collection of five extra units, while the Limited, Imperial (which also includes a poster), and Emperor's editions also feature the "Heroes of the Napoleonic Wars" pack, which consists of an additional ten. Napoleon was released with several editions: the Standard Edition, a Limited Edition, Imperial Edition, and the Emperor's Edition. As with its predecessor, Empire: Total War, which included a special United States storyline, Napoleon features a separate campaign that follows the general's early career. Players assume the role of Napoleon Bonaparte, or one of his major rivals, on a turn-based campaign map and engage in the subsequent battles in real-time.

The game is the sixth stand-alone installment in the Total War series, and focuses on the politics and major military campaigns at the beginning of the 19th century. Napoleon was released in North America on 23 February 2010, and in Europe on the 26th of February. Napoleon: Total War is a turn-based strategy and real-time tactics video game released for the PC, developed by The Creative Assembly and published by Sega.
