Well, I've been reading War and Peace which was set at the same time as this game, and in the book it states that apparently Prussia was 'famed for its neutrality'. So, maybe thats the reason.

Of the seven coalitions formed against the Revolutionary France and/or Napoleon, the Prussians took part in four (the first, fourth, sixth and seventh), I believe.

Never mind,then.

By the way when A Terribly Harmful Name said that this game is the Napolenonic EB, does that mean it hass sort of same interface. Meaning, is there a campaign or does it just let you recreate battles from that period?

i think it´s only batles but considering that ca artificial inteligence in batles is lacking alot in inteligence it could be a good start for them to improve their artificial inteligence

thus allowing for a rtw:2 and maybe just maybe an even greater playability then we currently have in eb (if we consider that eb2 is running in mtw2 it won´t be perfect just an improvement that could benefit greatly from alot of improvements)

the engine is the core of any game and the ai is what makes it either a true challange or just a sickening game (sick as in boring) this new game might give ca a run for their cash and forçe them to improve their game thus long live the competition and capitalism \o

they got the engine they should also have the ai (in all fields not just the batlefield)

BTW Moonburn, I dont think R2TW is going to happen. CA has already announced Napoleonic:Total War; so if you really want to see R2TW, I think you'll be in for a long wait.

Saw the announcement at Gamespot, if anyones interested :http://uk.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/n...result;title;0

thanks mallios and perhaps this is even better since the game we´re currently discussing does go into a direct competition with ca wich means they will have to work a bit harder, thus more competition thus better products instead of just more sparkles in the produtcs (graphics and stuff)

Why not make Napoleon an expansion and go on to make a revamped RTW? Hmm...

Sounds like another money-grubbing scheme by CA.

But they trully cared only during the 6th and 7th ones. Prussia almost allied with France during the revolutionary wars.
