12th January:

Hi guys,

In addition to the new Blog posted today, I'm pleased to announce that Napoleon: Total War will be released on 23rd February 2010.

Thanks,

Mark O'Connell
(aka SenseiTW)

I hope that some of you will buy it and tell the rest of us how good or how bad it is.

Is it an expansion or a stand-alone game?

It is a stand alone expansion. You don't need ETW to run the game, but a lot of features will be from ETW.

Meaning it'll run on it's own but with half its features missing until you play it with ETW?

From what CA said in a couple of articles it may be the other way around and NTW will add content to ETW.

Napoleon will also integrate into Empire, adding units and new tech trees appropriately as the timeline progresses (Eurogamer article) and upgrading it with the new engine (Gamespot article).

Also the poll for mod tools? Well it seems the game has a Uniform Editor!

The blindness of some people!

Why didn't more of you vote for map editor?

I think the catch is that you have to buy NTW for that to happen...

It's a start! It's a start! My hope is there will be more mod tools to come!!

The way I see it is thus: They knew a lot of people wanted the modding tools, so they put up the mod, not as a way to figure out which one mod tool to release, but which one to prioritize to placate modders while they get to work on the rest of them. I hope I'm right, but I have a feeling it might just be wishful thinking.
