- Napoleon Total War in 2020 Is It Any Good? After trying out Empire for the first time in years a couple of weeks ago I thought id return to it's sequel. This traditionally hasn't been my favourite Creative Assembly developed strategy game but let's see how it's aged 10 years after it's original release.

My Four Time Great Grandfather fought in Napoleon's Grande Armee. He was 20 when he survived the Russian invasion and retreat. He also fought at the Battles of Leipzig and Waterloo. He was captured by the Prussians at Waterloo so I think he might've been in Grouchy's 30,000 who were sent to pursue the Prussians, to prevent them from consolidating with Wellington and the British, and spent 6 months at a POW camp in Danzig. Since he was an ethnic German from Alsace Lorraine I would bet that he was a translator between the German speaking Prussians and his French comrades. If I ever have a son, his middle name will be Nikolaus in his honor.
Also I'm such a HUGE Napoleon nerd that this is my favourite Total War game hands down. Also Wellington was given an honorary Spanish aristocratic title of Viscount.
Also I hate to admit it but I used to play games like this on the easiest difficulty because I just want to enjoy the experience and dominate and really not have a challenge but I've started to play on harder difficulties. Now that I know that normal is THIS easy I'm going to try that difficulty for the first time next time I play Empire and Napoleon Total War.
Yup, me too.

Napoleon's best feature is the intro. Makes napoleon look like total badass. My enemies are many my equals are none
They said that Italy could not be conquered!
They even said Egypt could never be humble
Napoleon was basically a testing ground for a lot of feature that were put into Shogun 2, despite that it was a very enjoyable total war game
It fixed a lot of what sucked about Empire, while leaving what we actually want in a game like this behind. It's not just the scale, there's no empire building like in Shogun 2, you already start with decent countries.

What I liked about total war napoleon campaigns was how objectives actually had a point. Instead of hey capture this city for 2000 gold. It would be like capture Vienna to force Austria to sign peace. To me that seemed more realistic. It wasn’t just capture cities 1 by 1. You could do that or you could play riskier and break through to try and capture the objective quickly.

Alex's RUclips profile:
" And now to go even further beyond "
You nearly fooled me to think that I commented also great comment
Napoleon was the first Total War I played and is still one of my favorites
I wish that there could be an Emprie Total War+ Napoleon combined into a massive 1650s-1850s total war game covering Europe and all it's colonies.
There is a constant community for this game, I play almost every day or whenever I can. Some of the community has over 2k hours and its usually the same people, it forces us to all use different strategies everytime because the community starts learning the constant players and can also recognize trolls. The game aged well.
Really loved this game when it first came out. An improved version of Empire in terms of gameplay but definitely limited in scope. Naval battles were brilliant and beautiful. Line battles very much just sit back, let them come to you and shred them.
Thing I found when playing as UK you needed to spam trade ships for the first year or so otherwise you could t support any decent sized land army - fairly realistic then!
What grinds my gears about napoleon total war, is that it's like Attila. The factions are already big, everything is established. And you as the player has to roll with it. I prefer raising my faction from a tiny village to dominating half of the world. Because it was build on my way of things.
This is the Total War game I keep coming back to, seriously underrated game.
I just tried to load this up as you clicked the upload button for this video. Unfortunately for me, I was unable to get the game to run, as usual. So now I'm here.
Do you run it in compatibility mode?
GrandStrategos
No
Anti Matter Well run the compatibility troubleshooter and see if something is up with that.
I have the steam version
It might be worth having a look at Shogun 2 Fall of the Samurai. It's similar to napoleon but with way more cannons and cooler guns (and an AI that doesn't fully get that they shouldn't chuck their samurai at your cannons).
yeah in Napoleon they will just march right into my cannons.. then route.
@@Pro-cheeseburger They do that in FOTS too, only more egregiously since the kill rates are way higher.
I find FOTS to be more frustrating than Napoleon because the way the campaign A.I is designed, it's very easy for you to lose even if you play everything perfectly. Factions on the other side of the map will randomly declare war on you and send doom stacks to you, enemy ships bombard all your coastal provinces (so like, 85% of your provinces) relentlessly, and your allies backstab you even if it would be seriously bad for their position.
In Napoleon, if you played well, you would always win. In FOTS you can play perfectly and have the A.I still make your life a nightmare.
@@brainwasher9876 try darthmod, it's increase your garrison and reduce AI spam, however you still have to deal with continuously manual fight to win defense battle even when you have to do is just form a formation and AFK
Still my favourite total war after playing from medieval 1 through to three kingdoms, I always come back to it and empire.
I know it’s old but I still have the best memories with this it’s the first one which I brought from the beginning
'It's probably the most story focused Total War'
Rome Total War Alexander: Allow us to introduce ourselfs
Attila was fun
A thoroughly enjoyable vid alex! Well done! 👍

Napoleon Total War was the first total war game I ever played, and I was pretty young at the time. I never figured out campaign cause I was an idiot but I was fully happy to just play custom battles and watch the melee animations. I've been meaning to get back to it at some point, partly because it is one of the few (to my knowledge) TTW games where you can play as Sweden.
My dream is to get a Total War Victoria with a big campaign map like empire or bigger
yes please!!!
There's a mod called Total FoTS which actually brings Western European nations in the Victorian Era to FoTS
Empire Total War?
with 50 dlc faction
@@EricTheActor805 yes why?
I want another line infantry game. Me and a buddy have been going through Fall of the Samurai and man I miss line combat.
I stopped playing games in the late 2000s out of boredom so games from that period like this one feels brand new to me.
Thank you for taking the time to review such an old game. As always, the strategy games community is awesome!
Love your videos! Keep the great work up!
I remember modding the game to have x6.875 unit count and 40 unit cards in campaign, so that I had historical regiment sizes. I remember fighting battles with 35000 men on both sides, where there were bloody engagements..... and lots of crashes.
Try Darthmod for this. More units, bigger unit size and also the previously mentioned 40 units per army. I play it loads, hardly ever crashed
Napoleon is one of my favorite Total War games when playing unmodded TW (not a big fan of how loud it is with the constant musket firing). Ironically, I still love Empire TW the most. I think it is the variety of the quality of military units. The idea of line infantry fighting Indian scouts is fun. I just don't feel that with other iterations, no matter how many different units they have.
I still play it, I mean I bought it last year..
The grand campaign was the best total war I ever played. Playing as the Russians and getting to the Unicorn artillery was truly some of the most visually astonishing battles I have enjoyed in total war. Thousands of men shooting at eachother as the unicorns rain fiery hell down on the enemy was amazing.
As a naval action player hearing you butcher the santisma Trinidad’s name was triggering o.O xD great video 👌🏻
I like it how some youtubers have been posting for like 6 years and they only have 500k subs and Apollo has been posting for 4 half years and already is close to a mill
I never knew why I didn’t really like this game until you said it because I loved Empire. If Empire had Napoleon gameplay it would’ve been my favorite of all time.
Coming from Empire.. I just started Napoleon and it is amazing!!! I added Darthmod but even Vanilla is an amazing game.
"The peninsular campaign" was the best part of Total War, Napoleon :P...
Love Napoleon: Total War and love the new profile pic!
Started off with medieval 2 a couple of years ago and just got Napoleon. This game is awesome. Naval and land battles are really fun

Hello, I have two question, what is this game? (name) and is it free? I didn t find this geam on steam :(
Hi alex as always thanks for making the vid always entertaining and fun and makes me smile which I need at the moment. Thanks for the heads up to about this game being on sale I just purchased it :-) keep up the good work
Thanks for the effort and sharing your thoughts. Please try to focus a bit more if I was to offer any suggestions.
Nice, was waiting for you to play Napoleon, one of the best
I love the intro to this game it's awesome
For anyone who doesnt know, the great war mod turns napoleon into a very good ww1 campaign. And darthmod is a complete rework new units unit sizes mechanics and so on. Check them out if you love napoleon or even if you didnt and want a different flavour.
I've only ever played Empire and Shogun 2, both of which I liked greatly. Though coming from a game where guns are the most powerful thing ever to a game where units without guns are just distractions to throw at the enemy can be a bit jarring.
It's a lot more like Shogun 2, gameplay wise, but melee is a lot less common.
Same idea though, flanking or doubling up on a unit wins.
Artillery is three times more important than Empire, and I don't play Shogun much so I forget how important Arty is there.
@The Nova renaissance Mangonels seem like complete shit in sieges because you always spawn too far away for them to reach. They work great in defensive sieges though.
@The Nova renaissance Yeah, in my experience, sieges are almost never worth actually playing unless you're the one defending.
Siege weapons are amazing on an open field.
LOVE THIS PERIOD OF WARS::THE SMOKE::THE ARTY::HOPE THEY DO 1 MORE GAME WITH THIS TYPE OF GUNS* MOSQUETS*
The best part of this Total War is, that you can just defeat Napoleon over and over again, it's so satisfying to see him fall. I liked the original game very much, but there are great mods for this. My personal favorite is NTW3, it makes this game so much more realistic and fun
Great video!
Alex: "5 pound, or regional equivalent, which will be more"
Also Alex: "Complains about the pound having lost value compared to the Canadian Dollar"
Me: "Allow me to introduce you to the boss battle, The Euro"
Fun fact the first Creative Assembly game I played was Spartan Total Warrior.
Dude... Viking... nice name drop, been years and year and a few after that since I even thought or played that game, cool beans buddy. #90'sBabyForLife #PCLEET
Napoleon was the first total war I ever played, however I havent gone back to it since the Warhammer games
I just put so many hours in this game in 2021 only with a sound mod for better musket sounds. I still love it.
I’ve always loved the musket smoke for some reason
HELL YES, FINALLY SOMEONE BESIDES ME LIKES THE SMOKE!!!
Great video alex, whats that background music tho
Hello! Lmao I’ve just randomly found this vid and your channel! Hilarious stuff mister Chonkolus! Earned tha Sub
Was curious how this has held up; and I think quite well actually! If you enjoy gunpowder line battles like this, you should check out Ultimate General: Civil War. Think you'd like it!
ISP: 10 min video and conquer France, Spain, Italy
Alex: 25 min video and only just conquer Paris at last minutes
I don't know how true this is. But I was told that blood and gore is made available as a dlc, so that the base game could keep a lower PEGI rating.
@18:20 Goes to attack France. Upon reaching there, he realizes that he left his troops at home.
Napoleon TW isn't bad, but it should've been a Empire dlc. Or they should've worked on an Empire theater dlc maybe featuring south America or asia or something
I have to say this is one of the best Total war games. I'm surprised we haven't gotten a remake. It's been about a decade
Hello fine sir, love your content and your voice. Very soothing thank you i needed this calm relief in my life
Me : *play nap total war * switch on ytb see:Napoleon Total War in 2020 Is It Any Good?
me: NANIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII??????????????
memories of when you use to play total war
I hope so, just bought it in Steam sale for about $7. Going to give it a try this weekend.
*Shogun 2 and Napoleon was THE LAST TRUE Total War games ...after them everything just go full ahead to the bottom of the bad experience!*
I love the Napoleonic era, so therefore I love this game. My only complaint is I wish the European map for the Grand Campaign was bigger and had more of N. Africa, Egypt and also more of the Scandanavian countries on the map. Otherwise with Darthmod its awesome and I replay it every now and then.
Honestly every old total war game is still better than every new one
I turn off my ad blocker for you and watch all ads, Rambler146. Hope it helps. All the best.
I did the same 😊? Takes a bit more time, but for CONTENT!!!
"I guess this was creative assemblies first attempt at a story based total war
Because like Denmark, the road to independence campaign doesn't exist
"it appears the Spanish are kind of going for one little line here" 🤣 You so casually belittled 'Line of battle' formation
Viking: Battle for Asgard was my first CA game. I still have it for Xbox, and a friend of mine got it for Steam in a bundle a While back.
hell yeah, great game and video. so March of the Eagles when?
Keep up the hard work mate
You should try multi player on Napoleonic TW3. It's a historical and realistic-ish mod especially made for multiplayer that is quite fun to play when you know the game, however it's quite difficult to start with. I think you should like it. And as you like line battles and great atmosphere, in this mod, it's really awesome.
It's a shame they seem to have restricted the grand campaign to solely Europe. Since Napeon can only be understood within a broader global context. If England isn’t divided between their colonial empire, the beginning of the decolonization process and preventing the whole of Europe to be conquered by the French; the whole experience seems to be quite one-dimensional. Now it seems to be either to help the French or fight the French. While Creative Assembly could have easily incorporated the broader global picture and allow belligerents to either support, combat or take their own advantage of the decolonization process that came with this temporary shift in power. Massive changes in power could have happened in that Era. In that aspect CA seems to rightfully appreciate it’s ‘Total War value’. It would be great to start of your campaign in South America or Haïti. Picking (temporary) alliances that should secure the future of your freshly decolonized nation? I love how they incorporated the rise of Belgium in the game like they did with Norway back in Empire. They could have even kept the emerging USA and Gran Colombia since both of them are in fact related to the French revolution.
I know a lot of people are going to disagree with me, but I enjoyed Empire Total War the most.
My fave Total War and most played game ever!
ETW or FOTS are most fun for total war games for me. Haven't got around to modding ETW, but I've played around 1000hrs of Shogun 2. 400+ on ETW. Not played Medieval Two, Warrhammer or China one (newest). Got full versions of Attilla, Rome 2 and Troy (Troy is a soggy jigsaw puzzle of an arcade game.)
It’s my favorite total war game, it was easier for me to play Napoleon than all the other total war games, I got better at it than I did at Rome/Rome II, despite me owning Rome for a way longer time.
napelon cannons are just much more satisfying then Empire, I just wish Napelon had the full world map, I think an America campaign would be super fun
Would you be willing to play rome 1 or 2 total war i think it be a fun video
So I’m looking at total war empire and total war Napoleon. I don’t know which one to buy. In your guys’ opinion which would you say is better?
YESS IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS YESSSSS
I got it for $6 somewhat recently. It's not bad honestly. I didn't play alot, and chose Prussia so no Naval battles. But I really like line infantry battles. I'm going to have to go play Britain or something and try the Naval battles. Hopefully the next historical title will be Empire 2. (Probably med 3 tbh, but one can hope)
So getting your enemy to attack you on the filed of your choice is a solid move.
Yes, come and play with us on the NTW 3 mod. Still regularly updated with fantastic multiplayer battles!
One of my favorite Total Wars (Empire is still number 1 for me). Napoleon is a very very enjoyable game and i loved the story of Napoleon. I completed the campaign earlier this year and its such fun.
Also won the battle of Waterloo as Napoleon so woohoo
I'd love to see a new Empire Total War.
Are you ever going to do another playthrough of a total war campaign? Also my personal favourite is Rome 2 total war
Been loving this game lately :D
Lol, the Santisima Trinidad kicked Nelson's ass. No surprise there, you don't trade broadsides with the largest ship of the line of the time and not get pounded to a fine dust. Too bad he didn't capture her.
I played this whole day and night during pandemic lockdown. 😄
Alex! Have you thought about trying Cities Skylines? Or something like that? With your empire building skills you could build a dystopi.... i mean utopia where the traffic flows freely, low crime, and low pollution
For sea battles, LEAVE YOUR SHIPS IN FORMATION!!
Love this game! I have played it over and over for years! Battles can be intense at times and I love that!
