I am entertained by the idea that this super tank mech is one of the smallest you can pilot. You could theoretically go indoors with this thing and some poor sods would have to deal with something designed to withstand fire from building sized enemies.
Napoleon might be simultaneously the most hilarious and scariest mech in the game. Imagine a dwarf, incapable of speaking or feeling pain, barreling towards something with the burning desire to pummel it into either submission or dust, whichever comes first.
also its the same size as pilots. so while the normal people and pilots climbing in their mechs, the napoleon pilot steps into their mech like its power armor or a bomb suit. imagine this tiny near unkillable bastard hunting you down in the bunker you call home.
Can you imagine hitting that thing with all of the cannons and munitions available to you, and just witness it standing in the crater, mockingly flicking the debris off of its armor and musing over the scratches in its paint? Then it just pulls out its matter erasing gun and straight up just makes a squad of AT soldiers disappear in a flash.
Imagine then the experience was of some relatively isolated world with no experience fighting mechs! Though not to the same degree, this did happen when Harrison Armory invaded a Karrakin planet early on. A world with even less contact might well not even understand they are being attacked by humans.
The rules for Activate Aegis and the lore text stating Napoleon is popular with Union Economic Bureau makes me imagine taxmen dragging away safes, vaults and servers while ignoring all return fire, heh...
The number of people I see building things JUST to use the Displacer... HA also has the Unholy Trinity of Heat (Genghis, Tokugawa, and Sherman) to pull mitigation resources from.
I’m currently playing a Napoleon focused on using the displacer as much as possible. I’ve got a heat cap of 15, all the nuclear cavalier traits and the ability to reduce the heat from 10 to 5. It’s literally *slipspace rupture detected* the mech. Really good fun.
Zhonya's hourglass, the mecha. Edit: everyone's fixating on the invincibility, but I really want to build some hot jank nonsense with this, Genghis, and Sherman or Tokugawa to create some aberration capable of firing the Disruptor every other turn. It's like a Barbarossa if a Barbarossa could fire it's Rail as a quick action.
Once upon a time, while visiting the local town during narrative time between missions, my pilot's team was accosted by a rather stern character from one of the other pilot's personal history. When we refused his demand to return a "stolen" NHP, he got testy and decided to simply try to take it anyways. 1v3 isn't great odds, but our resident bruiser discovered firsthand where his confidence was coming from when he got statis bolted. Turns out, Mr. Nice Suit had downsized Napoleon tech at his disposal courtesy of some very fancy spinal implants. All we had were our personal weapons against a man who could cut the street in half with pure oblivion (once). Long story short: a headlock is still a headlock even if the person doing it can't move and we had just come out of a restaurant. We all knew the Napoleon's weaknesses, in- and out-of-character, which is how we ended up defeating this foe with a suplex into the road and a pot of fresh chicken soup.
Take 3 Tortuga with this thing, with Vanguard and Brawler, with Sloped Armor and with the Hyperdense Armor and you can ensure that when you get in a fistfight with someone ***No one is interrupting you.***
We got Napolean and Nelson, so I feel like someone's gotta fill the gap and homebrew a "Bismarck" mech to get the full "great heroes of western european countries that lived during the 1800s" -trio.
Good breakdown of the details. One small thing though. Napoleon can use free actions during Aegis. Only Overcharging is stated as something you can't do in the ability. So if you got free actions, use em.
The Napoleon has one of the best "dips" in the game IMO. Stasis bolt is great for encounters where you have to wait a round go get into range, or if you have the AI with extra actions. The shields also synergies beautifully with most melee builds. Drop a shield "cage" and bash your opponent into it repeatedly. "NAPOLEON IS READYYYYY...." Tortuga rocks this so hard. Accuracy on reaction shots, throughbolt to fire through the shield, and ram bars to abuse rams. Finally there are entire builds based around abusing the hell out of the disruptor.

i love how much fucking personality all of the mechs in this game have
Every time I see a Napoleon, my brain always flashes back to that one John Kleese gag where he says "Go on! Do you worst, you worm!"

I've been planning on using Napoleon as my mech and been think of different builds.
What ability let's you half the heat? I can't find it.
@@FaulteaLeaves Tokugawa 2's Experimental Heat Sink for when you start a turn in the Danger Zone (1/2 max Heat Cap, rounded up).
You might also consider the Genghis autocoolers, with the napoleon's ability to reduce damage, it becomes a lot more viable

Every other turn? Why not every turn! Overcharge to fire and then stabilize. Heck you don't need to OC with one of the Sherman systems.
Napoleon 3, Raleigh 2, BURNOUT and HEATFALL and basically whatever you want from there has you doing 10 + 2D6 bonus in an AoE every round.

I sense enhanced rams and the like being big with this.

Thanks for the video
Come to think of it… Are you able to target a pilot with a Phase-Ready mod?
no
@@11dragonkid11 Why not? The only limitation is not having a line of sight… It's not worded like Saladin's bubble, for example
@@the_multus It's already written in the book, you can't target a pilot in a mech, nope, nada, nothing, absolutely impossible.

Take 1 level of Blackbeard
And use the Synthetic Muscle Netting
