There is also the constant threat of British Royal Navy patrolling the Mediterranean. Egypt is ruled by the Mameluke Sultans, vassals to the Ottoman Empire who up until this point have been neutral in this whole affair. To do this the French Republic demands the capture of Egypt but there is a slight problem. It's 1798, and General Bonaparte is sent to Egypt with the objective to cut off the link between Britain and their holdings in India. Once the Italian Campaign is won you unlock the next one: The Egyptian Campaign. To progress to the next campaign you must first achieve victory in the previous. Other features, such as technology, will unlock in following campaigns as you, the player, progress. The Italian Campaign is meant to be simple and short and it is, it's an introduction into the basics of Napoleon Total War, things like building up your economy and statebuilding, and combat. The campaign is won when France controls six regions, including Alps-Maritime and Carinthia, before Late December 1797 (which translates to 43 turns 1 turn in NTW translates to two weeks in 'real time') All these factions see France as a threat and start at war, in case of Austria and its ally Piedmont-Sardinia, or with bad realtions, in case of the other Italian States. The campaign is set in northern Italy and features besides the Republic of France and Austrian Empire, several Italian States such as: The Kingdom of Piedmont and Sardinia, The Papal States, Tuscany, Venice, etc.

You, the player, are given command of the Armée d'Italy with the objective to defeat the Austrians, and their allies, and free the peoples of Italy from their tyrannical rule. Italy is a side theatre in the war between France and the First Coalition, with the main armies of both France and Austria in the Rhineland, but Napoleon is to change the situation in Italy very soon, plunging into the underbelly of the Austrian Empire. A man named Napoleon Bonaparte is given command of the French army primed to invade Italy and go head to head with the Austrians.
The year is 1796 and the newly risen French Republic is beset by enemies on all sides. Now we got a basic idea of what the game has to offer let us start with the Campaigns following Napoleon. Together with Empire, Napoleon TW was CA's foray into the real DLC game with the release of unit packs and cosmetic content. The Peninsular Campaign (the War in Iberia between mostly Britain, Portugal and its Spanish allies versus France) was added as a major DLC a couple of months after the release of the base game.
EMPIRE TOTAL WAR DARTHMOD CANISTER SHOT SERIES
A series of historical battles, Rome: Alexander style, is one of the main pulls to this game for those who like to replay the great battles of Napoleon's carreer, both on land and sea. At its base you have two campaigns: one following Napoleon's journey (called Napoleon's Campaigns) and Campaigns of the Coalation facing off against the unstoppable French Empire. Let us begin with how Napoleon Total War is structured. Never my favourite TW game I still had great enjoyment in playing Napoleon Total War despite its flaws. Two years after release I got my copy of the game (still on a disk), and it became part of my immortal collection of Total War games. I remember the day when I first got Napoleon Total War, an edgy 16-year old, experienced in the ways of Total War since the days of Rome: Total War. It also added features, such as the automatic replenishment mechanic, (I for one was a big fan of the Empire replenishment mechanic, though it had its flaws as well, and was sad to see it go) and mission based campaigns, both things would become standard in future Total War titles. Napoleon TW fixed several problems that its spiritual predecessor Empire Total War had, for instance the AI was more intelligent. In this review we reflect on what the game brought to the TW scene, both good and bad, and what this Belgian lad thought of it.
Ten years of Napoleonic warfare for Total War gamers, following the footsteps of the French Empire and one of its greatest leaders, Napoleon Bonaparte.
