Napoleon Total War
Release February
26, 2010
Overview:
Napoleon: Total War is an upcoming turn-based
strategy and real-time tactics video game developed by The Creative Assembly and
published by Sega. It is the next installment in the Total War series.
Napoleon: Total War will contain 3 separate campaigns, the first two will be
story-based upon Napoleon's first two major campaigns; Italian Campaign in 1796
and the Egyptian Campaign in 1798. In these, numerous optional missions will be
available to the player, as in the third, "The Mastery of Europe" campaign,
which is equivalent to the "Grand Campaign" of previous Total War titles, though
the overall goal will still be to conquer a certain number of regions. There
will also now be the option for a drop-in multiplayer campaign mode; when
playing the campaign in single player, the player may choose to open up your
server and allow any real person waiting in the multiplayer lobby to join or
oppose them in any particular battle.
Many of Napoleon's major battles such as Austerlitz, Trafalgar, and Waterloo
will be available as historical scenarios, separate to the campaign. There has
also been promised a unit editor which may add depth to grand campaign
management. A new battle physics system has been implemented, so when cannon
balls hit the ground, they will leave dents, and so forth.
