Imperial Glory - It's coming...

[Alexander the Pretty Good]

Meh. Wait for the Napoleonic mod for RTW.

@Mouzafphaerre: You're welcome, mate. I will let you know as soon as I learn anything about the system specs requited for IG or about its moddability.

@Alexander the Pretty Good: To each his own. A Napoleonic campaign game without naval battles, without a Nelson or Villeneuve, wouldn't do for me.

@Templar Knight: I think you're right, IG won't be out in February - one of the mods on the Eidos board just announced that he will be having an interview with the Pyro developers in February, so I guess the game is due for summer or autumn.

I can wait. I've got loads to read, never a dull moment

I'm not holding my breath on this one. All the videos I've seen show the gameplay to be remarkably 'gamey' and more akin to a traditional RTS clickfest than the Total War series. Pity, I'm truly starved for a Napoleonic era game with some depth.

However, gamey or not, Imperial Glory's naval battles look really fun.

I had my eye on this one, i just noticed the flags, why are they modern flags?

check the german(austrian?) looking flag in the first post.

that's the french tricolour moron. And the flags are correct for the era

Not the french flags, the other flag, check the moral bar or whatever it is at the top of the screen.

Less of the name calling. It is uncalled for, and will not be tolerated.

Thank you for noticing moderators

I was not expecting a rude answer, but anyways to remain on topic i was wondering if the german flag was correct or not, iirc the germans were not united until later so i was wondering that flag was of which nation?

[TheSilverKnight]

Because the French Tricolour was adopted by the French Assembly in 1795 as a unified colour for the French Army and Navy.

Silverknight, Faisal has already said he was querying the other flag - top left of the screenshot Adrian posted. My guess is that it is a Russian flag. I am not sure it is right for the period, the only thing I have read about it dates it from 1858.

lars573, the link notes that the white stripe at the bottom was added to stop people confusing it with the Austrian one.

Frogbeastegg, thanks for moderating!

Ah Imperial Glory, promising the first in a line of RTW wanabes.
I can't wait for NTW 2 to come out, now you can literaly pick your battlefield.
To me it seemed as if Imperial Glory was a Risk like map, with a little bit more.

However the ships have gotten my attention (hint hint CA)

So am I! I've been a member of the Histwar site for some time now and have been quietly trolling about the entire time keeping abreast of new developments and hoping that Les Grognards lives up to the developer's promises. They had better work on the user interface because it was positively awful in the previous game 'Le Grande Armee At Austerlitz'. There's nothing worse than making the simple things in a video game feel like hard work.

Spino & CBR: Looks good, but I am a little gun shy of games which only show the in-close 3-D view and not the overall battlefield view. It could easily turn out to be as lousy as RTWs interface and camera views. Let me know, when it nears completion and I will be interested to listen to your opinions.
