Not if I can help it. He'll be the emperor of a new Roman empire.

Too bad the game will be pretty much over by the time he shows up

I wouldn't panic, I'd be shocked if he wasn't in the expansion considering how much CA and Sega keep mentioning him.

Even the official website has a space that says Expansion which is grayed out.

Whatevah. Just recruit an artillery unit in Corsica and you'll get this short, greasy-haired genius who can crush the old regimes of Europe with a mere swipe of his hand. Of course, the royals'll keep coming back like flies, but still...

Quite true, while you may not get NAPOLEAN as a unit, there's no reason you can't have a famous Corsican General rise to power during this time.

As for tactics, I plan on playing Austrian's and i'm curious to see how the tech tree breaks out. On the one hand, I'd like to focus on infantry, but then again I will probably have to keep with the times so my fleet and other aspects arn't out teched early on.

That said I am very excited that the tech tree has different results of same tech. Drillng Tech for America gives a different ability then Drilling Tech for England based on preview example.

My plan is going to probably involve urban combat as often as I can. Lure enemy in, get in buildings, let them have it.

I mean as Austria we don't number as vast as the Russians, our artillery isn't unbelievable, and even our calvary is not number 1. So I'll have to use the landscape and what I have to my advantage :)

Numero Uno tactic, Conquer Prussia so the German Dualism ends early on
