Like the previous Total War games, Napoleon combines a turn-based strategy mode with tactical, real-time battles.

Scores of Frenchmen die of thirst and the bubonic plague while their beloved leader visits the pyramids. However, its immersive, well-executed setting, as well as its historical battles, enemies, and allies let you step into Napoleon's shoes to re-create his conquests, making it one of the most engrossing Total War games yet.

Meanwhile, the poor artificial intelligence remains a problem area for NTW, and its scale takes a step backward from the global reach of Empire: Total War. There are also additional multiplayer options, better graphics, and an improved interface. Notable additions include powerful, historical generals, as well as weather and attrition effects.

Napoleon: Total War, on the other hand, meddles very little with the tried-and-true formula of its predecessors, preferring instead to apply it to this new setting while executing a few tweaks and updates. Thanks to his radical, republican ideals and his astounding military accomplishments, Napoleon Bonaparte is remembered as a revolutionary figure.
