I LOVE THIS GAME

I wasn't sure what to expect since some of the reviews I've seen online are lukewarm at best. However, once I mastered the interface and began playing I found this game to be superb. First some technical notes. (1) I had to disable UAC on Vista to get this to install properly. I don't blame the game installer for this; UAC causes lots of problems. (2) There is a setting for speed of unit movements. I set this to almost the slowest setting and it makes the movements pretty realistic. If you forget to do this the soldiers will move too fast. (3) I had rare crashes but they do happen so be sure to save frequently. Fortunately there is autosave. (4) The manual is a bit sketchy in parts but just google something you don't understand and you will probably find the answer quickly. NOW FOR THE PROS AND CONS. PRO: I am having more fun with this game than any other I've played recently. It's different in many ways from Total War but the main thing about Total War is the crashes! This game rarely crashes and so far there has not been an unrecoverable crash (such as Total War not allowing you to finish a campaign because at one point it always crashes when you end a turn!) There are some great details. One of my favorites is when I assault the Russian cathedral and a dog comes along and sniffs the corpses. It adds an eery realism. The combat is amazingly compelling once you get into it. Plus there are naval battles! CONS: you can't fight with big armies because there is a pretty tight restriction on how many units you can move into a territory. Overall: this game is so much fun I am becoming an addict already and I have only had it for a few days! If you like Total War style games, you can't beat this one, certainly not at the price.

Not bad

I played the game for a night already and I can say I like it. One thing though: the tutorial is no good and the manual doesn't help much either. To give you an example: I could not find how to restore a troop that has been damaged. There is a restore button, but it is disabled. Do I need to be in a specific place? do I need to have a specific building? I guess i will find this out by the end of the game along with many other details, it's just that it doesn't make it easy on beginners.

Great Memories

This game is a classic. I have many memories of playing this back in the day. Hold up pretty well, and this game has tons of polish. Music and many other small details (such as troops holding muskets over their head while crossing rivers) really add immersion to this game. Land battles are entertaining, I had several great experiences places artillery and light infantry by a bridge or a tall hill and slaughtering entire enemy armies. AI has its short comings. if you are not careful your artillery will shoot and kill your own troops. And most of the time the enemy units will just end up charging you and battles end up in a massive mosh pit. The campaign map is a better experience, however the end game is just a huge mopping up operation. The game really shines when it comes to Naval Battles. I found them challenging and very well done. Despite these few short coming I still give it a five. This game blow my mind away when it first came out. If you enjoy Napoleon era strategy games this is a MUST buy.

Mediocre and full of bugs.

This could've been a great game and i had high expectations about this title, until now i've liked every game made by Pyro but this one was a disappointment. Lacks a lot of features from the Total War series, bad army control, you cant group armies or make them move the way you want or other useful features, bad camera. Usually is enough to buy the chepest troops to win against more sophisticated troops. The graphics is good but not good enough, the menu desigh was rushed and the max resolution is 1024x768. But the worst thing about this game (and the reason why i have decided to write this review) are the bugs, the most annoying one is that after each battle there is 50% chance for a fatal error. Yep, spend 30 minutes in a fight than you have to start over and over again and you cant use automatic battles because the enemy will win with just a few troops against a superior army. Worst game made by Pyro.

great little game

it may not be as fancy, or as big a totalwar but the game is damn good and i have played all the total war expansions and versions. to best describe it would be ; its a combo of Risk, and its own style of Napoleonic styled RTS. theres no micro management of resources and the naval battles can be hard as hell. good graphics and overall, a game i enjoyed buying depsite my owning every TW variation. this is my second time buying this because i missed it. give it a try because yes theres always "better" out there but, "better" does not mean simple fun which why we buy at GoG anyways:) -enjoy
