Napoleon Total War 2023 Review: A MASTERCLASS In Gunpowder Strategy!

Жыл бұрын

Total War: Napoleon is a triumph in the Total War series, expertly capturing the essence of one of history's most brilliant military minds. Developed in 2010 as a kind of sequel to Empire Total War, this game offers players an immersive experience that combines strategic prowess with tactical finesse.
With a number of diverse campaigns, brilliant historical battles, and highly immersive visuals and sound effects, Napoleon is a standout title that leaves a lasting impression on fans of both history and strategy. And with Ridley Scott’s Napoleon movie coming out later this year now is an excellent time to check it out.
In today's video I run through all the major features of the game, the brilliant campaign strategy and the in depth tactical battles with all it's visual glory and engaging mechanics. And by the end I think you'll agree it's time to get back into it to experience Napoleon's epic campaigns!

@Ariaelyne Жыл бұрын

I think the major issue for CA is that they want to have an average play session be a certain number of turns rather then a certain number of battles. Having larger and larger unit counts corresponds to longer and longer battles which just goes counter to how their games are designed.

@Hattori_F Жыл бұрын

Ca doesn't want to go that route. They're not interested in true strategic depth inside their battles unfortunately. And even with mods, the older games are handicapped by their tiny map sizes. I recommend something like Grand Tactician: Civil War. No eye candy like Total war but at least you'll have real time battles with real strategic elements.

@petrovepryk3786 Жыл бұрын

@@Ariaelyne I remember modifying my Medieval II Total War to maximum unit counts. 250 for infantry, 150 for cavalry, and 100 for artillery, bodyguards, and other small units. Every single siege battle took at least an hour. The campaign was moving too slowly because of that. I reinstalled the file and was happy about much faster gameplay with vanilla maximum unit size. I mean... yeah, it would be so cool to have two armies 100k men each fighting each other in the game, but... the gameplay would take too much time.

This is a strange statement cause it's not like CA has ever timed their games with big Hollywood productions (Rome came out 5 years after Gladiator for instance), and it's not like Hollywood is churning out historical epics on the regular. The only reason Napoleon's getting made is cause Apple has FU money to throw around as they're trying to break into a space usually held by the big studios.

We need an empire 2 that includes the conflicts of NA as well as depicting historical European conflicts in the later game. Was disappointed to get to 1805-1815 and have no Napoleon in sight. Also really pissed me off that as the US the AI won't do historically accurate trades and events for the US. I had all of Mexico, Canada, and South America before I actually got France to give up Louisiana by trading regions that were way in their favour.

Modern CA does not know how to do the things Old CA used to do. They couldn't do gunpowder units right for TW:Warhammer III even. They couldn't animate gunpowder and artillery units correctly. They still can't do naval warfare. All the money they've milked from TW:WH with countless DLCs. They literally whored out Pirate Factions for TW:WH and "naval" battles magically turn into land battles. Gunpowder units in TW:WH have none of the firing drills such as done in Empire, Shogun 2, etc. The last time CA did a good, well rounded TW game with all the features we've come to expect out of the franchise was Shogun 2. That game came out in 2011. Modern CA doesn't know how to do this stuff anymore.

@wba6787 11 ай бұрын

I've been playing TW since Medieval I and honestly I feel like these critiques are a little harsh. They've definitely gone hard on DLC and I can't honestly understand why we can just get a straight historical game out of them any more, but there's still some great games mechanically if you're willing to dig past some of the fluff of Three Kingdoms and Rome 2 etc.

I still remember 10 years ago. My army was out numbered on top of a small hill. I pushing a few units of line infantry out on a flank seemingly unsupported. The enemy lancers saw an easy meal and charged in. Only for the infantry to take up square formation and route them. Now having the cavalry advantage on the field I charged the enemy guns with my dragoons and then took out the enemy general. My main body of line infantry then bayonet charged down the hill and routed the enemy army. Epic battles. Even when your army was attacked by two fully stacked enemy armies. you knew if you played your cards right still had a chance.

@Axis_._ Жыл бұрын

Its for sure the best game in total war. and has so many mechanics that should have stayed, from taking cover behing walls, to the dynamic nature of artilery not being OP but being devastating in the right setting, to having occupyable buildings, meaning that even militias could hold off elite troops. The battlefields were so dynamic because of this and totalwar has never gotten close since.

I've always felt a little let down by the game, specifically the lack of campaigns. This could have been a great source of income for CA in DLCs. I mean imagine an 1812 DLC, an 1809 DLC, 1813 Battle of the Nations DLC. Opportunity wasted. The mod La Montee de L'Empire somewhat addressed this to a degree. However I do wish the mod Napoleonic Total war III would give us more options in that regard. I really hope they make a sequel, I love this era and have been fascinated with this period for years. Keep up the good work :)

The thing about naval combat, at least in my campaigns, was that there were a few really big important battles early on and then you'd blockade the enemy ports with a fleet just big enough to take on what they could build in one turn. Naval research then wasn't all that important as there would normally not be another big battle. The other trick was to use a tiny fast fleet to sneak a huge army to, for example, Cyprus or England.

I think a Napoleon 2 would be a missed opportunity, I'd personally want to see a game encompassing both empire and Napoleon in a new map. Though it would also be a miss to not recreate peninsular campaign and the Napoleon campaign and battles. Easily my favourite TW game genre, option to play both large or small maps for all levels of brain activity. Darthmod was great, it still works for empire at least. But I think a medieval 3 would be a great move for CA first, to draw more attention to historical games with a map comparable to the stainless steel mod for Medieval 2, or the 1212AD for atilla, I think it would capture some of the warhammer playerbase.

One of my favorite games. Definitely a top TW game. I’ll always remember an epic battle I won where I was outnumbered 3:1 and won because I moved my forces into a canyon and was able to bottle neck my enemy. I sent two cavalry units to take out the enemy artillery, a crucial mission that they succeeded at great cost. Square formation in the canyon obliterated their cavalry. It was an amazing edge of my seat battle.

I think Napoleon is my personal favourite - the design is fantastic with each faction having their own uniforms and troop rosters. The different ships were an awesome improvement too. This made each faction feel unique unlike in Empire which was pretty much "pick your colour" (aside from the Muslim and Maratha factions of course). I JUST wish the map could be imported from Empire with an ability to play all the factions and that would make it the perfect TW game for me. There is something glorious about conquering the world for Denmark or Oldenburg 😍🥰😂

AI pb is solve by playing multiplayer. It's the real strength of this game as there is a pretty active multiplayer community, especially for playing land battles. It's almost like this title was built for MP : it's balanced and simple, not an overwhelming quantity of unit types that make you wonder what your opponent has brought on the battlefield, battles more focused on moral and strategic placement than on micro management and unit quality, a smaller scale campaign map perfect for quick versus campaign that won't take you a month to finish. (since there is no more chat in-game, rules are set in the game's name. Beginners be aware of this, and you can pass your mouse over the name to read it completely)

Hopefully they will at some point go back to their roots of making highly realistic historical titles, and focus on quality & realism rather than the increasingly arcade & fantasy route they've been pushing for the last decade.

Pharao exists because it uses the foundations of Troyes.

It's true that few people will be interested in this time period and I'm not particularly into it myself, but I understand that for others it's really nice to get a Total War covering this era as there isn't any yet. Empire and Medieval already have games. It's nice from CA to please everyone, at least with a large offer covering multiple time periods.

I really need to try the Europe campaign to get a feel for it overall. Some mechanics aren't used in the smaller campaign. As the tech tree in the Italian campaign doesn't matter. The AI still has it's kinks (getting way too close before firing) and I'm only doing normal difficulty. Only tried the Italian campaign and they're winning. Mostly because I like to advance and build up and repeat but you have to move FAST in that one. I keep running out of time to win the campaign. I got just past Milan once. I know the Italian campaign is basically a blitz. The AI has a lot of troops and you have to constantly recruit more because replenishment is oddly slow and it's easier to just recruit? But then you aren't building up. I hate Auto Resolve because you take far more casualties than you should.

This is the best total war game, and I love all of them having played each of them only 2-5 years after release + numerous patches and mods. Shogun 2 is awesome, but it isn't as good as NTW with NTW3 or DarthMod NTW/Field Command Napoleon mods for gunpowder gameplay or even just proper, tactical battles that take time and maneuvering to resolve. Just need NTW in a more stable/modern engine and overall tweaks/improvements across the board.

Me and my friend just started playing a darthmod europe campaign the other day and honestly we have had basically no problems. Im not knocking what your saying but im curious as to why it still works for us. Keep in mind that we are both post ca update as well. Only thing i noticed was the muskets and cannon sounds were different.

still cant believe everyone and i mean everyone was asking for a new medieval total war or a pike and shot or even a new empire or napoleon. But no CA just did their own thing.....again.

Mh anybody knows why the KI is acting very stupid in my game? It comes close to my lines, like it wanna charge me, but at very close distance it goes back and makes this the whole time. At this time my line infantery is shooting them all down 😂

What really bothers me about the update that broke darthmod (besides that) is that they exchanged the gun sounds with those from shogun 2. I think the old ones fitted better to the animations and the era.

For me, being old time player - actually playing TW series since first Shogun - and bit of the history fanatical, Napoleon is absolutely one of the top strategy games ever. And I guess it is one of the best of Total War series as well, at least for me, maybe together with Shogun 2... and maybe Rome 1 or 2 (hard to say). Im not touching new Pharaoh with the stick.
