Die NTW-Definitive-Edition enthält neben der Standard-Version vier NTW-Erweiterungen (DLC). Die DLC enthalten neben vielen weiteren verschiedenen Einheiten die Peninsular-Kampagne, die als Schwerpunkt den spanischen Unabhängigkeitskrieg behandelt.
Grafisch ist NTW trotz des Alters gut aufgestellt. Die jüngeren Titel aus der Total War-Reihe wirken zwar technisch moderner & in der Bedienung freundlicher. Aber wie bereits beim Vorgänger Empire: Total War ist auch NTW in der Komplexität & historischen Genauigkeit sehr lobenswert aufgestellt.
Wer Interesse an einer wichtigen Epoche der Geschichte hat, dem sei NTW ans Herz gelegt. NTW im Sale erwerben & Strategie-Enthusiasten & Total War-Fans haben alles richtig gemacht.
Historische Hintergründe:
Koalitionskriege 1792 – 1815
Italienfeldzug 1796 – 1797
Ägyptische Expedition 1798 – 1801
Spanienfeldzug 1807 – 1814

Ich kann dieses Spiel wirklich jedem Liebhaber empfehlen.
Jedoch regulären Spielern könnte dieser Teil ein wenig Probleme bereiten, da er wie Empire etwas andere ist.
Trotzdem bin ich sehr Zufrieden mit diesem Teil.

Warum? Vlt. weil ich auf diese Epoche stehe ? Möglicherweise. Aber kein einziges TW fesselte mich so lange und so häufig wie Napoleon TW. Keines habe ich häufiger installiert. Dies liegt an der meines Erachtens wirklich spürbaren Diplomatie-Funktion, und der ebenso, rein mein Gefühl, gut ausbalancierten Gegner-KI, sowohl auf der Strategie/Taktik-Karte, als auch auf dem Schlachtfeld. Ich spiele meistens die Preußen oder die Engländer, ganz selten die Russen. Das Startsetting der Franzosen fesselt mich einfach nicht, für meinen Geschmack zu einfach, da zu stark, aber so war es einfach damals um 1805.
Aber wenn Du aus der schwächeren Position heraus musst, schon am Start in der Defensive bist, quasi vor dem geschichtlichen und damals politischen Hintergrund, welcher im Spiel ständig spürbar ist und einigermaßen authentisch dargestellt wird, dann muss man bei NTW schon recht ordentlich ackern und vor allem den Überblick über alle Stellschrauben bewahren. Das fordert Dich als Spieler, macht aber, wenn Du ein Fan dieser Reihe bist, richtig Fun.
Man muss die Politik und die Züge der anderen (auch Verbündeten) mehr überblicken als bei anderen TW-Titeln, Ministerien richtig bzw. passend besetzen, den Handel justieren, die Häfen ausbauen, die Routen freihalten, fiese Entscheidungen in punkto der Bündnisse richtig treffen, Konsequenzen beachten, wen brauchst Du die kommenden Jahre mehr, wen weniger. Was erforscht Du jetzt, was morgen (Technologie-Baum-Prinzip), in „was“ investierst Du Deine ständig limitierte Kohle, welches Land eroberst Du jetzt, morgen, übermorgen, welche Provinz tauscht Du sogar für eine andere mit einem Verbündeten ein, wann ist ein Protektorat besser als das pure Einverleiben der Provinz.
Die Franzosen, sofern Dein Gegner, setzen Dich in einer Tour unter Druck. Jede ungesicherte Lücke Deiner Grenzen wird ausgenutzt, wann immer möglich versuchen Gegner in Deinem Rücken aufzutauchen, Dich vom Grenzland ins Landesinnere (in Dein eigenes !) zu locken, damit Du die Verfolgung mit Deinen Truppen aufnimmst, damit eine größere Kluft an der Landesgrenze entsteht. Du musst aber mitziehen, denn Raubzüge des Gegners sind teilweise extrem teuer. Ständig herrscht Druck und Anspannung. Und zack...brennt es an anderer Stelle.
Auf dem Schlachtfeld sind zumindest die Franzosen beinhart. Klar, die KI marschiert drauf los, greift Dich an, und sobald Du den Bogen raus hast wirst Du die Gefechte irgendwann auch gewinnen. Sicher ist dies allerdings nie, da viele Gegner ihre Kavallerie hin und wieder geschickt einsetzen, unberechenbar Dich an einer Stelle überraschen, welche Du nur für einen kurzen Moment außer Acht gelassen hast. Sobald Du angreifst, sieht die Sache wieder anders aus. Dann zählt jeder Hügel, jede Geländesenke, jedes Wäldchen, einfach alles auf der taktischen Schlachtkarte. Warum ? Da Du dann der Initiativ-Part bist und der Gegner abwartet. Deine Artillerie und deren Wirkungskreis im Verbund mit Deinen Fußtruppen will dann einfach sorgsam überdacht werden, vorher. Diese vor der eigentlichen Schlacht ablaufenden Artillerie-Gefechte, nicht selten über das gesamte Gelände hinweg, je nach Kaliber, sind oft schon ein Vorgeschmack darauf, was anschließend im Truppenkampf passiert bzw. passieren könnte. Der entsprechende Einsatz Deiner diversen Truppenteile (Infanterie-Diversität), finde ich, kommt in keinem anderen TW-Titel derart zur Geltung wie hier zur Zeit der Napoleonischen Kriege. Brutal, echt, taktisch ein absoluter Leckerbissen. Immer wieder muss etwas geopfert werden, damit Du etwas anderes erreichen kannst. Es gibt einfach nichts und wieder nichts im NTW für Umme. Es kam nicht selten vor, dass ich eine Schlacht mit den letzten 30 Mann (von anfangs 1.300), und am seidenen Faden hängend, dann doch noch irgendwie für mich entschied, einfach durch einen letzten guten Zug direkt „im“ Gefecht, quasi als letzter Ausweg, um doch nicht als Verlierer vom Feld zu gehen.
Es ist das Jahr 2021 und ich spiele es gerade wieder. Installiert und los geht’s ????.
Als letztes Contra gilt es noch zu sagen, dass das Spiel immer noch teil-verbugt ist. Es läuft stabil. Aber es sind ein paar diverse kleine völlig idiotische Bugs drinnen, die man sicherlich zur Zeit des Verkaufs hätte beheben können. Aber CA war noch nie, auch nicht Anfang der 2000er als sie begannen, bekannt für einen außerordentlich sehenswerten Spieler-Support. Insofern, ich lebe damit.

Allerdings würde ich mir trotzdem vor den Kauf gut überlegen, ob ihr euch nicht lieber Empire Total War kauft, da das im Prinzip den gleichen Content liefert aber vom Umfang bedeutend größer ist. Zum Bsp. bietet Empire mehr Fraktionen, die ganze Welt als Karte und mehr Forschungsmöglichkeiten als Napoleon.

Napoleon features multiple campaigns to take part in. Starting with Napoleon's campaigns, we follow Napoleon on his campaigns in Italy, Egypt and finally in Europe. There is also a campaign of the Coalition, where the player can choose from a rather limited set of nations (Austria, Great Britain, Prussia and Russia) to fight against the French. The Peninsular Campaign takes place on a zoomed in version of the Spanish Peninsular, again with a limited set of nations (Spain, Great Britain or France) but with some unique considerations for this particular campaign that makes it worth playing through.
Due to the limited nations available to play and with the smaller strategic map it is fair to say replay-ability is not as high when compared to Total War: Empire. It is worth noting that there are various fan-made modifications for Napoleon and a few of them do help with replay-ability by unlocking the ability to play as other nations or even by changing the setting entirely.
Napoleon iterates and improves almost every aspect of the game-play in comparison to Total War: Empire. Napoleon introduces the concept of attrition due to negative effects such as desert/winter. The campaign and battle AI for Napoleon sucks a little less but still relies on significant cheats to be a challenge. Some of the issues with game stability were improved. There is a little bit of extra Quality of Life changes such as units in your own territory can replenish over time instead of needing to manually replenish at the cost of gold. The multiplayer campaign beta which never got released for Empire is here in Napoleon, offering the ability for 2 players to play a campaign game together in multiplayer. There is a lot more positive minor changes but listing every change would be a bit much.
It's far from being a perfect game. Despite the various improvements it still inherits some of the negative aspects of Total War: Empire (bugs/instability and especially the bad AI come to mind). The Total War series has certainly come a long way since the release of Napoleon in 2010 (as of now that's almost 12 years ago). Yet it still holds up as a fun game. The graphics have aged well in my opinion as-well as the Audio (although there are some annoying audio glitches in the game engine which make it clip and beep sometimes).
Overall I would recommend this game if it has a good discount from the base-price or in a cheap bundle.

When younger I never got much into Napoleon, growing up Julius Caesar was always my favorite general/emperor. That all changed when I first played this game and was blown away by the opening trailer and title theme and discovered my own family history.
I remember when I first played as Russia and conquered the whole map. Without NATO to stop me it wasn’t so hard.
My fourth time great grandfather fought in Napoleon’s Grande Armée. 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 then 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. So you can understand why I love this game so much.
I wish so badly they would make another Empire or Napoleon. The grandness, the scope, it could be so good with a fresh new set of game mechanics and everything modernity has to offer.
Although if they’d make Napoleon TW now, Napoleon would probably be a single hero unit wielding two giant blunderbusses so who knows.
Am I as great a commander as Napoleon? Are you? Only time will tell. Try a campaign and find out.
10/10

Great Game
It really captures the Napoleonic era, and I often find myself immersed in this dynamic time period. The uniforms and soldiers are very well-made, and the maps are quite accurate and test your adaptiveness as a general. The highlight of the game for me are the battles, especially the online ones. I would definitely recommend this game to any enthusiast of the Napoleonic era.

- Greatly Improves upon the AI at which Empire: Total War failed.
- Graphics which still hold up to date for a 11 year old game
- Quality of life UI for battles
- Immersive Campaigns
- Great Battle map designs
___________________________
Negatives about Napoleon: Total War
- Copy/Paste units for Russians, Prussians, and British (mainly light infantry, and light cavalry)
- Doesn't expand on the minor faction's units; bland
- Naval battles are generic (however given this is the second time they implemented naval battles I would be more lenient )
___________________________
Overall this game is amazing, I've played it for 168 hours because of the addicting Grand Campaign and Custom battles. Each faction has it's own unique unit whether it would be with artillery or line infantry. I am upset however, because the map shrank from it's more expanded counterpart in Empire. (Personal opinion: I believe that this game should have been an expansion/improvement on Empire and not it's own game). Lastly, the game gets better late game with improvements in Technology. I don't know what else to say than to recommend you this game.
Score: 9/10

Love's seeping from the guns
I know my friends and I
Would probably turn and run
If you get out of bed
Come find us heading for the bridge
Bring a stone
All the rage
My little dark age
I grieve in stereo
The stereo sounds strange
I know that if you hide
It doesn't go away
If you get out of bed
And find me standing all alone
Open-eyed

Naval Battles -4/5
Campaign - 4/5
Atmosphere - 5/5
DLC -5/5
- This is basically an expansion for TW: Empire. It plays completely the same. Land and naval battles both.
- It concentrates purely on Napoleon's wars. You will get two campaigns in detailed Italy and Egypt, whre you can only play as France and Europe campaing. Where you can sadly play only as France, after you beat the Egypt cmpgn. and the coalition nations. The map is more detailed, yet there are some illogical decisions made with the cities. Like Moscow being the capital of Russia, while at that time it was still St. Petersburg. Or Budapest being the centre of Hungary, while Presburg is not even on the map.
- Some things were improved, like the fact that you no longer have to manually replenish units after battle. They will automatically replenish as long as you are in owned or allied territory. Yet some things were taken out, like religion (no converting or monk agents) or fort building. You can only build forts in towns now. Also towns no longer need population to emerge. As soon as you have enough money to build something, you can. I think it makes sense, since the game takes place after TWE, where you raise all those towns.
- Religion mechanic and and fort building kind of return in the Peninsular campaign, which also offers playable Spain.
The whole game has great atmosphere that beatifully captures the period. And it has amazing background music for the campaigns.

Then I found a series called ‘total war’ on the internet and was really impressed (bare in mind this was 2014/13 and I hadn’t really ever seen a PC game before) I found NTW eventually and saved £20 to convince my mum to buy it for me on ‘Steam’ whatever the hell that was, I waited for like a solid week for it to install because my internet was so bad but then it finally finished, I clicked play and was greeted for the first of hundreds of times by the iconic ‘my enemies are many, my equals are none’ 12 year old me was convulsing due to overdose of epicness at this point, then I saw the menu.
‘Pffft who cares about this campaign wtf does that mean anyway?’ I clicked custom battle, got steamrolled by the ai because I literally would spend hours looking at the bayonet animation. The first 200 hours (a whole summer) I spent playing as Britain pretending to be Wellington and fighting ai France on ‘Italian Grassland’ and ‘Galician Rea’ in the ‘peninsular’ I turned into a real nerd, buying all the books I could about the Napoleonic British troops, spending all my money on miniature lead redcoats and later French for them to kill.
Then I found out about the ‘Peninsular campaign ‘ dlc, through the epic trailer on YouTube, well in short, another 2 solid years liberating Spain, (not very well as it took me ages to teach myself how to play campaign) I renamed all the generic foot regiments to the ones from the books I read and the ‘Sharpe’ series, spent ages researching names of all of Nelson’s ships, making the Trafalgar Fleet to destroy the poor French yet again. I skipped revising for my GCSES to defend Gibraltar from hoards of glitchy French militia, you get the picture.
Fast foreword a couple of years, I hear about the NTW3 mod, and so aged 18, I am once again playing my tenth Peninsula Campaign, at the same time as preparing myself for joining the army next year (entirely inspired by this absolute masterpiece) Best game ever created in the History of the world (fact)

From the story-driven tutorial onward, you are playing Napoleon and command his troops throughout the game, which is divided into 'Chapters'. You will make your way from Egypt to Russia and play all the key campaigns and battles of Napoleon's real world wars.
It's structure makes this Total War game very accessible to new Total War players. It has all the turn-based and (naval/land) real time tactical battles of other TW games, but the story is guiding you through all the content in digestible chunks, instead of dropping you into a 'big campaign' and leaving you alone with it all.
Highly recommend it to new TW players.

So, what's all the fuss about? Where to begin?
For fans of Empire Total War like me the anticipation of Empire was too much, but the product was panned by hundreds of loyal fans and I steered clear of it. NAPOLEON: Total War was given more praise and my real reason for purchasing it was, a) I love this period and b) naval combat. I've become a bit of a nerd for the love 18th and 19th century fighting ships and the chance to wield one of these beasts in combat was all too alluring. If you understand naval combat of the period, the game doesn't disappoint, although true sailors might be frustrated a little by a lack of data on hand. But, that does fit the era of seamanship in this period and reinforces the skill level of the captains and admirals in charge.
Graphically, the sea battles are fantastic. The ships lumber towards each other and you have options to fire broad-sides or different types of shot to cripple ships and or board the enemy. The distortion effects from cannon fire are particularly impressive. Bits of wood and splinters fly off the vessels and sails are shot away leaving you languishing for control. I managed to Dis-mast an enemy recently, which was cool to watch.
Now, I must stress I've only had a few hours of game play and am still getting to grips with land battles and the ins and outs of naval combat, but my early impressions have been positive.
The first thing you notice is the campaign map which is just freaking awesome. I love the reduced time component, so that each turn is two weeks which provides a feeling of more control over events. The campaign map's color scheme changes more subtly to suit the change in seasons and late autumn early winter is breathtaking.
The complexity of the build and research trees have changed a little and you can set what technologies you want to research with the help of the self-spawning gentlemen who pop up. You also have more control over your government and can sack ministers, recruit generals and admirals, and thus have more input into the structure and composition of your society.
I'm still mucking about with the English right now, again, because of their inherent sea power in this era, so there is much to explore yet.
If there is a fly in the ointment, it's the odd crashes I have experienced. Sometimes during turns, sometimes mid battle. The cause is a mystery and could be my system, but I get the black screen, which is better than the blue screen of death. Aside from this hassle, I really love it and make sure i save it more regularly...I've not had this experience with Empire Total War, alas alack. Still, in terms of the total experience, in terms of government, settlement experience etc, and battles, the game provides a riveting experience and hopefully hours of game play which fans of the franchise should enjoy...

A few story arcs stand out, such as the guy's love affair with artillery to the point where his entire army is just Howitzers and 8-lb Foot artillery. The filler arc with the hot air balloon was freaking hilarious, especially when it kept getting deployed in the middle of the battlefields. Personally, I found the Russian Winter Attrition arc a bit overrated. There's nothing wrong with it but this story has been told several times over. For that alone I prefer the Egyptian arc more, even if it's essentially the same but hot deserts instead of snow. The Spanish story arc is curious since the protagonist never actually appears but at least he's acknowledged often. As for the Waterloo finale... man, that canon ending is heartbreaking.
All in all, it's pretty great and incredibly underrated, if a bit short. It's quite the shame it gets buried under the higher profile series like Rome and Medieval.

Online battles are the reason i keep playing this game for 6 years. Strategic deployment and fast micromanagement makes the difference in online battles, where you can enjoy intense 4v4 battles. Teamplay is very important and you keep learning new skills. All the nations have different qualities to use. Nice and many multiplayer maps, battle music and special effects. The online community is funny and helpfull and keeps very active, its still no problem to find a quick match. Big difference with Empire Total War: morale of your troops and your general is very important, and you have unique napoleonic units.

+ Prematurely unifying the Prussians always a fun challenge especially when the whole world turns against you.
+ Refined combat, with the role of artillery becoming relevant as it should.
+ Somewhat competent AI on higher difficulties.
+ Napoleon's Campaigns are excellent introductions to the time period. Historical Battles are also great additions to the time period. Reliving Waterloo as the British was a nice experience.
- Unit variety is worse than Empire, especially in naval units.

A little old and clunky, Total War has been a lot worse and little better than this. Good tactical gameplay a good amount of detail has been put into historical accuracy of units. Campaign map focusing on towns and cities is good and there's a nice nod towards the military necessity of industrialisation upsetting the populace.
Clunks: Deploying people behind walls and into buildings is a good idea which is implemented very badly and fighting in streets is generally a nightmare. Cannon can be deployed with a tiny hill right in front of them that you couldn't see preventing them from hitting anything (and they cannot alter trajectory up.) Cavalry run into opponents' deployed spikes preferentially and when chasing enemies down in a rout. Ranged cavalry stay in melee and all die if one horse gets caught even when skirmishing (which happens a lot.)
Naval clunks: Somehow ships can turn on a tuppenny without any wind in their sails (especially weird with square-rigged ships of the line.) The square of the battle map means you can get ships caught in a corner and unable to turn (when graphically surrounded by open sea.) You cannot rolling fire into a ship's stern as you pass it. When you press the broadside button for the first time you do not get a ranging shot but unleash your broadside straight into the water (therefore it is best to press before engaging.)
In addition I hope your favourite features of total war are your reinforcing armies taking detours through enemy territory and the grand army being stopped from crossing a bridge by an allied unit of militia for the entire campaign, because they are very much present in this game.
