For this Napoleon has a multiplayer campaign mode and goes into more Detail on historical Facts. Something has Also happened on Graphics and AI. The Battles at Napoleon: Total War are used to first class and if you don't own Empire and like The Setting, I can only recommend the Game to that.

If you already have Empire: Total War, don't get this Game. If you don't have Empire or Napoles, get Empire.Why? Historically, the Makers have done their Homework, without Question, even if it seems strange at the Beginning of Hamburg belongs to Denmark, which was actually so. It is also nice To have a better Division of France into its individual Provinces and not, as in Empire, that France consists of two Provinces (Alsace-Lorraine and, well, France!). Still, for me, the Game doesn't seem like a game of my own, but more like an "Empire: Total War Napoleon DLC." It plays like that of the Predecessor, the Units are almost identical (which is also logical somewhere), the Diplomatic System is still the same. But there are many Things that have given me a lot of pleasure in Empire, So for example North Africa, India and America are missing completely (of course, Napoleon was only in Europe now some will say), but as a result it is almost completely unnecessary to build up a Fleet, also has Britain is no longer the Place as before. Also, quite useful Things from the Predecessor Empire have not been taken over, E.g. firing The Limb. Artillery, in my Opinion, no longer has the same benefit as before (as an Example: One of my Cannonballs Sweeps into the enemy Ranks, knocks over 20 enemies and now guts how many get back up? Na? Na? Exactly. No less than 19. Are only Cannonballs!) Among the Campaigns: You can play a full 4 (four!! * biting irony *) individual Napoleon scenarios, which, however, do not last very long. The "Great Campaign" is the same as it used to be: You pick a Nation and you have to conquer a certain Number of Provinces. Then you won. Anyone who, under the "Great Coalition Campaign," expects a murderous Defensive Struggle of the British, Russians, Prussia and Austria against an overpowering France will be badly disappointed. After all, the European Countries prefer to beat themselves even more under-down. And Britain? Now they sit on their Island and are ... Well... There. On their Island. Verdict: The Game is not bad. But in my Opinion it is only because it is based on Empire. But If you think about the Empire and Napoleon are equally expensive, but at Empire you get two more Continents and more nations as well as units should be clear what you are working for. If you are Empire: Total was used to and sometimes looking for something new, rather leave your Fingers from it and maybe better to Shogun: Total was grab.
