Anyone tried this title out? Reading a few reviews it seems to look good but a mite buggy. Watched the movie with Brad Pitt and got interested

I've put well over 100 hours into it and I like it a lot. There are 2 key points about the game that you should consider:

1. It's only on EPIC right now. The Steam release is "coming soon".

2. If you have zero interest in Greek mythology you are better off passing on this title because Greek mythology is central to the immersion and gameplay.



Personally I have not noticed any bugs or technical issues so far.

HMM PM been looking for some new blood.And who wouldn't be interested in Greek mythology ? In high school I read a lot about it.I think it might be worth the price of a ticket.Seen a few screenshots and sure do look good.

It's the best looking TW title so far. It looks even better than Three Kingdoms. In the graphics department it certainly doesn't disappoint.

Too many chariots

That applies to Rome 2 as well.

Well going to take the chance..To be honest all of History appeals to me.Back in High School I wanted to teach history.But two tours got my head messed up and by the time I came around I had kids and couldn't do college.One thing I like about the TW series is they lead me to googling things and learning.Never looked at Napoleon but playing the game and reading about the era was great.

I really enjoyed the heck out of TW: Napoleon for two reasons. I have always had a big academic interest in the Napoleonic Wars era and it was also a nice change of pace to have gunpowder weaponry.

Solid game there and I took a liking to Empire.Can't really say I have a favorite TW game all appeal to me

I really like Napoleon too. The field battles are among my favorites in the series. I think gunpowder is TW's sweetspot. I don't use many mods in Total War, but I do use Darthmod with Nappy. And it is awesome, the musket fire, smoke and sounds of the battlefield. Darthmod adds gobs of smoke and it is glorious

I find these battles more tactical than most. Terrain features feel more important, maneuver too. Melee combat is formulaic for me, I always do the same basic formation and approach battles in the same way. Napoleon though is more free-form for me on the battlefield. I also love-hate the naval side. I really enjoy the age-of-sail ship types, building navies. The combat's not great, and it has a weak trade node system in my view. But the ships themselves are super cool.

I also really like how replenishment and recruitment are handled, probably my favorite system in the series as it sort of straddles the early systems and later systems and the result is really nice.

Napoleon is one of the very few TW titles where having a navy actually means something and can have a major effect on how your campaign turns out. This is especially true if you play as Britain or France.
