Napoleon: Total War (Official Expansion Thread)

[kitbogha]

Wouldn't it just. Maybe they could even make it inclusive enough technologically that people without Deep Blue can play it....

[pevergreen]

TW has low min specs...

[Braden]

Yeah but honestly they’re not spec’s that the game will actually RUN on since the 1.5 patch.

[sassbarman]

On a purely graphical note anyone else notice the soldier being bayoneted off his horse and the horse running away in napoleon's egyptian campaign part of the trailer. That would be a first for the series instead off horse and rider always dying together. Of course it might not be actual game footage but lets hope it is, it would add a ton of realism to the battles.

I could be vastly mistaken, but Dragoons?

I have an odd feeling i've seen a unit of mounted dragoons with around 3 guys on foot, because the horses were killed.

RATED M FOR SEXUAL THEMES!

Also Kilts.

Preview, got some info about gameplay changes that I've not seen before.
Some of it sounds pretty cool, especially if they back-date to Empire :)

[Dead Guy]

I have to admit that this sounds very, VERY good. And I was so determined not to buy after this last debacle... Crap/Yay!

If it's all applied to a grand campaign, and if it all really works...

[Furunculus]

have they announced the type of drm they will use in NTW, will it be a simple disk check like ETW backed up with a steam DLC crack-pipe?*


* essentially the same model as EA Bioware have followed with Dragon Age and Mass Effect 2.

[pevergreen]

I'm gunna say same as ETW: Just steam.


Theres no disc check...

[Furunculus]

cheers, good news.

[Graphic]

Is NTW ever going to get it's own section?

[pevergreen]

Very good question.

Lemme check something, will edit this post.

edit: Can't find what I'm looking for, but I know it was discussed amongst the moderating staff a while back. No idea as to the outcome.

[Royce]

Has anyone started playing Napoleon and if so how is it.

[Ethelred Unread]

Heh - look at this acheivement:-

The Medallion of the Imperial Psychopath
Declare war on all nations the first turn, never make peace, and win the game

Only 15 hours to go until Steam lets me download!
