Naturally, there are still some issues with decision making, but let me explain with an example: the Austrian general that attacked my pitifully defended market town made a series of brilliant and then disastrous decisions.įirst, he had a general's cavalry unit to tip the balance in his favour. The skirmishes and large confrontations with this code were all great and, without disappearing too far into review territory here, the Al is shaping up to be very, very good indeed. The core of the game will always be the battles, at least in terms of where the fun is. But what we've played doesn't indicate that any radical changes have been made, or are going to be made, before we get a proper copy in our hands. You start off small and can manage how your development goes much more easily than before. Thankfully, this isn't an issue any more, at least not when playing in the mini-campaigns. One of the problems with the original was how intimidating it was to approach a grand campaign as a major nation, because of the sheer number of things that needed investing in or controlling. When on the campaign map it's harder to see where such loving care has been put into the game's looks, because it doesn't look that different to what came in Empire, except for being less cluttered.
It makes you feel like Creative Assembly tried really hard when making this game. It's that sort of attention to detail that I love to see in games. When I zoomed in to watch the final confrontation I noticed dandelion seeds floating about the place. Secondly, I was watching my general (not Napoleon, in this case) chase down a routing Austrian Landwehr unit when the two of them entered a dense e Were there no sandals of flip-flops for them? Regardless, this minor detail is a mark of just how historically accurate Napoleon is. This reflects the chronic lack of footwearĪnd other basic supplies the Armee suffered from during the early years of the Revolution. I noticed that my unit of Revolutionary Infantry had no shoes on. Bare FeetĪmusingly, the most impressive things I've seen have no effect on the gameplay whatsoever. Instead of just going over the general feel of the game, though, I'm going to go deep into some of the smaller things that impress and distress when plugging away at Napoleon. There were a few things locked off for the time being, but in general terms, we had a chance to look at every aspect of the game, except the naval combat. This is also the first time we've been able to get unfettered access to the game, with non-scripted battles and campaigns to get stuck into. While It Seems we've written more about Napoleon than any other game this year, that's an indication of just how much there is to be written about it We've finally been able to get our hands on full-on preview code and the results, while still obviously in prerelease format, are exciting.
