Napoleon: Total War is a strategy game, currently being developed by The Creative Assembly. It will contain 3 separate campaigns, the first two will be story-based upon Napoleon's first two major campaigns; The Italian campaign in 1796 and the Egyptian campaign in 1798. In these, numerous optional missions will be available to the player, as in the third, "The Mastery of Europe" campaign, which is equivalent to the "Grand Campaign" of previous Total War titles, though the overall goal will still be to conquer a certain number of regions. There will also now be the option for a drop-in multiplayer campaign mode; when playing the campaign in single player, the player may choose to open up your server and allow any real person waiting in the multiplayer lobby to join and oppose them in any particular battle.
Many of Napoleon's major battles such as Austerlitz will be available as historical scenarios, separate to the campaign. There has also been promised a unit editor which may add depth to grand campaign management. A new battle physics system has been implemented, so when cannon balls hit the ground, they'll leave dents, and so forth. Mike Simpson from CA has reported that if something looks like it will affect the battle, it probably will; when it rains, gunpowder will backfire and landscape will affect your range of fire. Less tactically important details, such as dead cavalry men stuck in their saddles being dragged around by their panicked horses will also feature. The campaign map will be more "zoomed in" and detailed than in Empire: Total War. Turns in Napoleon: Total War will be only 2 weeks, while previous titles sported 6 month turns. The game's Artificial Intelligence system is to be improved also.[4] Napoleon: Total War will also come with many new features in multiplayer such as a uniform editor, and a voice command utility to speak to other players via Steam.
Multiplayer: "Napoleon" will feature:
A special "Imperial Edition" was announced by Sega, which will contain various extras, including a code to unlock two unit sets: "Heroes of the Napoleonic Wars" and "Elite Regiment".[6]
