AGEod
now offers Wars of Napoleon, which they call "the most detailed and
comprehensive strategy game ever created" about the Napoleonic era. This
launch trailer set the
stage, and here's word on the game:
Some call him The Little Corporal,
others That Corsican Ogre. In any case Napoleon is an historical figure that
divides opinion. Feared by his enemies and glorified by his soldiers, he was one
of few men able to change the destiny of an entire continent. Eight years after
Napoleon’s Campaigns, Ageod again follows in the footsteps of the famous emperor
with a very ambitious wargame: Wars of Napoleon.
Featuring iconic battles like Austerlitz and Waterloo, the game also offers a
gigantic Grand Campaign covering more than 10 years of war. At the head of one
of the seven major nations available, players will have to take the right
military and political decisions to dominate most of Europe… or thwart the
hegemonic plan of Napoleon. Managing armies fighting miles away on several
fronts requires a lot of planning and great organizing skills. Only the leaders
able to build a consistent logistics network and chain of command may hope to
keep their men motivated.
As usual with Ageod productions, the level of detail is impressive. With more
than 300 different uniforms from accurate sources, 400 portraits of generals of
the period and many historical events popping up, playing Wars of Napoleon is
like seeing history appear before your eyes. Also in order to spice up the
gameplay, players can enable some what-if situations to change the balance of
powers between nations. Just imagine the consequences of the USA declaring war
to Great-Britain in 1812!
