I vote we turn this into the Napoleon Total War Thread as well.  And to start that off, this super cool video of it that I found.

I like how they just mixed up the trailer and sneak peak footage, and actually made a rather epic video.

And napolean is gonna rock...<3<3<3 for the new resupply system, that actually forces you to take and conquer farms and towns!

IMO that should really have been included in ETW. But since it's not, then it is typical patch-content...

I believe the reason it wasn't is because in that scenario, there wasn't as much well known history to attribute to it. Napoleon, when he invaded Russia faced the problem of lack of food and supplies

So I guess napoleon revolutionized warfare by actually feeding his soldiers, unlike any general before him?

That's not what I said. I am saying that when Napoleon invaded Russia, lack of supplies was his problem, so they are going to make that a factor in the game.

IMO, its like Empire is the correct platform, but Napoleon seems to be the correct gaming style.  Merge the two and it would be incredibly epic.  Either way, I'm getting Napoleon for sure, its gonna kick ass.

after being so hard disappointed and treated in a bad way by that company I will wait till that game is available for 20€ or less. 

I bought ETW when it was released for 50€ (when I remember right) and I got extra a new high end PC (well, now I can play FH2 an max everything but the intention was for ETW). I took them OVER a half a year to get it patched that it actually is smooth playable and the Multiplayer (the most striking reason to buy it) has been released a year later as a beta. Did I mentioned it is still a beta?

I do not boycott products of that company after the experience I made with ETW. Right now, after patch 1.4 and later versions, it is really enjoyable, and the other parts as Rome etc. where great, but I take now care of the Stuff they release and will not buy blind their stuff.  Now, I only trust Blizziard “blind” when it comes to games.

As far as I know this site only lists UK stores/prices but it's listing Napoleon at its cheapest for £16.95:

You are not alone on this, I can tell you that.

I had so much anticiaption for ETW, and practically the only reason I bought it was to play the multiplayer-campaign. I'm disappointed.

Even if they had released ETW all done, no patches needed, I would not buy Napoleon. It seems to much of a rip-off, seriously, are there really any major gameplay changes? it's still musketeers vs musketeer shootouts + closing in, spiced up with some cavalry and artillery.
There is nothign "revolutionizing" at all, that would be the supply-system mudra mentioned, but it's not enough, that's patch-material for ETW.


But I guess I should be realistic, if NTW ever reaches like 10 $ on some steam-sale or something, then I might buy it. MIGHT.

17/18 pounds thats like 20/21 euros. Ah it seems that I will import my Total War game from the UK again. 20 euros for 3 nice new campaigns is surely acceptable, Napoleon is like Kingdoms for me and I paid more for Kingdoms then this price.
