  • Terrible reviewer overall (too much blah blah without coherence) but he made some rare good comments about the game in the 7 minutes too long review

  • This or empire?

  • @TheLethem77 empire

  • @zudikas8 world war 1, They still regiments, They didn't line up. But they still stood together under a banner with an officer to lead them. Thats why so many people died in world war 1. Regiments of men charging into artillery and machine gun fire.

  • the game hasn't got poor frame rate he is just playing on a shit computer

  • @egjesusfraire *disk

  • @egjesusfraire but the dik in or download from steam

  • Does it lag as bad as empire?

  • @tollerancewithpride almost because it dosent have to much factions but all in all empire is way! better

  • @tollerancewithpride mabey your system doesn't meat the system requirments?

  • @egjesusfraire No... PC only.

  • can someone plz help me,i'm searchin gor a good pc that can play napoleon on ultra,my budget is 1050 euros,i'm thinking of alienware aurora or a cyberpower black pearl

  • @lotrrules1 build your own

  • shogun 2,medieval 2,napoleon(empire 2),where the fuck is rome 2

  • I LOVE THIS GAME!!!!! if you have good stratagies please send some to me please im not very good

  • @PacManGoneFluffy try to make a allience with britian [as france]and than you can focus your men on purssia and russia among others in that direction

  • The reviewer is a 'tard.

  • The only difficult Campaign was the Egypt campaign, because the Mamluks and the Beduins always raid you lands, otherwise, it's kinda easy...

  • Fucking scared me at 6:09!!!! turn the volume down

  • Thumbs up if you like the new Youtube ability to skip ads!!!!!!

  • this guy is a noob :1, its easy as hell 2, you can save ur online cmpaigns 3, the framerate is perfect

  • you shouldnt put a - on the framerate just because your computer cant handle high graphics >.<

  • @Djghost1123 Isn't that the whole point of a "framerate" rating?

  • @Gonnakillyou no, you cant really rate framerate overall because some people have computers that can handle the game easy and others cant handle it for shit.

  • @Djghost1123 Yeah that's what I mean though. The "framerate"-rating would be how well shitty computers can cope with it, or something such. It's relatively important actually, since most people DON'T have a NASA computer in their room. It should of course have no bearing on the game-rating itself, but I'm not sure it has here.

  • this game isnt that hard. If you're inexperienced just play it on easy :P

  • more focused narrative? wtf was total war: alexander then lol 

  • I LOVE total war games but i find the empires become too large to manage and never finish a game.

    one turn winds up taking me 2-4 hours to play out properly.

    Cant tell if i should purchase this

  • @Emanusmell im download the demo right now download too to see if ill be good to buy or not!

  • instead of complaining about the difficulty read the manual or play the tutorial

  • that computer is really crap... :/

  • Be ready Asian women online lushfmlk.info

  • the frame rate sucks cause your PC is shit

  • you can fight on ships?!! (Dies of Amazement)

  • @DainCorporation

    yes there are ships, but it really isn't all that interesting. It is basicly who ever has the more guns wins. And each ship requires individual attention because just clicking on a unit to attack does not yield good results. So beyond one or two ships it becomes nearly impossible to manage the battle.

  • lol, this game is in no way difficult or realistic. the diplomacy and economics, for example, are extremely simplified and unrealistic. the battle mechanics are not bad, for a game but i would hardly call it "realistic".

  • @MustNotRead i dont know what scale you base this off of ... but if you can name a game that includes real-time battle sequence that is more realistic ... please let me know ... smartass.

  • @superiguana1

    I smarter than you. My comment was based directly on what the reviewer said, he said "the game is realistic". He didn't say "it's realistic compared to other games". He made a direct comparison between real-life and this simple game. The game is not realistic, by any stretch of the imagination. The battle and economic models are extremely simplified. You need brush up on your language comprehension. Simpleton.

  • @superiguana1

    btw, Europa Universalis 3 and Victoria 2 has far more realistic diplomacy and economic models. And Arma 2 and Combat Mission are games with MUCH more "realistic" battle mechanics. But they are not games a simpleton like you could play. I suggest you stick to your cartoonlike TW series.

  • @MustNotRead Total war are not games about diplomacy. that is just a sideshow, total war is mainly about battle tactics and strategy and i don't get it cartoon like? Sometimes people like different games than you. you should know that.

  • @MustNotRead ohand also why is it so important that people play games like victoria 2 though i do like that game and must say that it is ridiculous how you go on about something that you don't like. Are you practicing to be ruler of the world or something? next time don't search for games you don't like its a waste of time

  • @thedvsgmr

    i didnt say i didn't like it. i just said it wasnt particularly realistic, not when you consider what real life war is like. and you attacked me for my opinion. i just dont like when people (like the reviewer) blend video games with real-life...it's a pet peeve of mine. i do like TW, its a good game for when i want to escape reality.

  • @MustNotRead i don't get how the battles are not realistic. Of course people do not line up and fire anymore but they did back then. And i was not attacking your opinion, it just made me wonder why someone would be looking up a video of a game that they are complaining about

  • @MustNotRead i see how old this comment is but you sir are a douche if you dont like th e 'cartoonish' tw series gtfo the vids based on tw game lol how sad you have nothing better to do then troll on youtube get out more man get some sun meet a girl or hell just go outside and stop hating.

  • does this game require you to have empire total war?

  • @ReplaytheMusic nope

  • fuck fable 3

  • Comment removed

  • i don't think that napoleon total war is so hard. I haven't played it yet but i am gona get it soon and i am ready for some diffrence and maby a bit little harder then empire.

  • i always thought the creative assembly was american but its british :D!!!!!!

  • fuck this gay reviewer

    great game though

  • Alright, it's only dropping frame rates because this idiot is trying to run on high graphics with a shit computer.

  • I'm still playing American Conquest.

  • Ha ha ha this guys cool "I'll skip the four letter words I used and just call it aggrovating"

    Tool

  • how many processors would you recomend?

  • never had and bugs beautiful british game make of course in britain i mean its obvious anything good is amde in britiain haha

  • schools of the future should teach history with the Total War games, probably better with the historical mods

  • It's not hard, just don't treat the AI as you do in Empire

  • I don't wanna feel like Napoleon.. He's a douche! :D

  • Your FPS suck.

  • this games framerate does suck

  • i got this today i have a vista and the big box thing (not computer leterate) thing says inspiron 531 when i got to play the game it laggs like crazy any help?

  • Partly agree with this review, but he was way too soft on them for the bugs. This game has HORRIBLE bugs. The AI is completely and utterly broken, a fact which the developers freely admit, explaining that it's because their lead AI designer moved and had to leave the project, essentially leaving them in limbo.

    But despite knowing this, instead of pausing a while to get a new AI designer and get things running smoothly, the devs decided "Lets launch this broken piece of shit anyway."

  • So even though the siege AI was completely and utterly broken, that fort defenders would form a single diagonal line down the battlefield regardless of what the opponent did, OUTSIDE THE WALLS AND WITHOUT ANY ENTRENCHMENT WHATSOEVER, and the battle AI was so hopelessly busted that it would get stuck in decision loops, marching infantry back and forth across the same patch of dirt in front of a barrage of cannon fire while their guns limber and unlimber endlessly, THEY STILL LAUNCHED IT!

  • This speaks very strongly to the ethic of Sega as a publisher, and Creative Assembly as a developer.

    They basically threw up their hands and admitted defeat instead of trying to fix Empire, their existing Total War game, and made Napoleon a whole new game even though it's PAINFULLY OBVIOUS that it was supposed to be just an expansion.

    Thus, players can have a badly broken Empire with bugs a-plenty but a nice big map, or a broken Napoleon with more bugs and a tiny map with only one continent.

  • Suffice it to say, Empire and Napoleon have made me think VERY seriously about whether or not I want to risk my hard-earned money on Shogun 2.

    Sega and CA have shown their true colors. 2000-2009 was a sad, sad decade for gamers, when big publishers and developers started rushing broken pieces of garbage out with the motto of "We'll patch it later." This soured many, many gamers, and the bite-back on sales stung enough for most companies to start reconsidering.

    Sega and CA have not yet learned.

  • @Etimos Ive gotten through empire recently, and I was thinking about buying Napoleon, however it seems as if it may just be an empire reissue, anyway, I agree it should be something new to justify it.

  • Ok, when you cant even make the game run smoothly IN THE FUCKING REVIEW, that's a very bad sign.

  •  Hey i have a question, will this game run on my Vista PC?

    Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz 2.99GHZ

    RAM: 1.00 GB

    Hard Drive: 160 GB SATA

    Please tell me if it will work in my PC!!!

  • @prdude1234 you can search up canyourunit on google. i think thats what its called... itll ask you for what game your tryna play, and than it will tell you if it will work on YOUR computer. and it will say like, you meet minimum requirements, orrrrrrr, your sound card doesnt meet the requirements but itll still work. mssg back if u need more help with it.

  • @prdude1234 no that can not run it smoothly get a dual core processor 4gb of ram a graphics card with atleast 512mb of memory then you maybe can

  • @NuggetBlubber i hav it but.... still FPS sucks.

  • @brunohsantos1 well unless your investing in a 1000 dollar computer your not going to get the greatest performance out of this game

  • ahh i wish i could play games after medieval 2 but my computer will explode if the game tries to play

  • Lol, they should remake RTW

  • @migkillerphantom They probably will after they are done with Shogun 2

  • i cannot decide between empire or napoleon...

  • @phatmonk6195 napoleon

  • @phatmonk6195 Napoleon. The interactions on Napoleon clearly dominate Empire. And the naval battles are pretty kewl. :D

  • @phatmonk6195 napoleon easily. Its to hard to micromanage and finance idian american and European campaign's which as a result cloese 2/3 of the campaign 

  • @phatmonk6195 same, but empire total war is practically impossible to find in Puerto Rico so im going with Napoleon total war ^_^ and napoleon total war campaign is way longer (like 2 times longer i calculated)

  • what are the other total wars?

  • @Bashynashy medieval, empire, rome...

  • @Bashynashy First: Shogun (medieval japan)

    Second: Medieval (Europe dark ages to High medieval)

    Third: Rome ( Romans/barbarian's)

    forth: medieval 2 ( After Norman conquest to Gunpowder)

    Then empire and napoleon all games after rome are as good as each other depending on what age you like will depend on your favorite game

  • @ Alexandros1294 I just think Rome has a better campaign, and better unit selection. ntw is ok but all it is in LIN E INFANTRY, SKIRMISHERS, AND ART.

  • i want wwII

  • This game isn't even that hard. You just have to have an IQ of over 47 to play it.

  • @Alexandros1294 try playing on the hardest not the easiest........ milita can beat old guard

  • @Alexandros1294 that rules out justin beiber

  • @Alexandros1294 Sure, when your on the epic easiness difficulty.

  • @masterskyrunner I play on hard when I'm campaigning.

  • @Alexandros1294 So do I *high five*!

  • @Alexandros1294 Sure, anyone can play it on easier levels against the AI (not very smart). Will they win battles and conquer other players is another thing.

  • @Alexandros1294 maybe for easy difficulty on online its quite difficult

  • @Alexandros1294

    When playing on the hardest difficulty serrings.Campain and battle its quite challenging

  • that guy is gay

  • @theknights88 you're gay if you know that and 5 other people

  • @theknights88 ya think douche?

  • @theknights88 that guy is gay and dumb

  • What praetorianphalanx said.. i dont have fps issues on ultra settings.

  • Poor framerate?! Yeah on the machine of the reviewer maybe.... My framerate is fine, so thats a crappy point of the review...

  • This is just a cheap imitation of Starcraft.

  • @jprincehouston lol, good one

  • @jprincehouston This game is nothing like Starcraft lol

  • @Alexandros1294 You right its MUCH better then starcrap 2

  • @jprincehouston this is totally different from starcraft lmao

  • Rome total war beats this hands down

  • @Vipstephen No it doesn't. I loved Rome, but Napoleon is a lot better.

  • I think, now hear me out, that creative assembly should do what they did with medieval, and make empire two, an entirely new game that still starts in seventeen hundred but ends at 18- whatever napoleon ends at (i havn't bought the game yet) but seeing that my favorite era in history had to have an uncompleted game to represent made me die a little inside...

  • i have absolutely no problems with frame rates... its pretty obvious you ran the game on a sub-par computer.

  • i wish someone made a video that differentiates factions infantry,because i heard Russians have bad accuracy but good in Melee and France are Balanced and the British are very well accurate.

  • I think your overstating the difficulty of this game. It's difficult to be sure, but some tricks and suddenly the challenge drops in a disappointing way.

    I'd give it a 7,2 because of a lot of unresolved issues with the possibility to go up to 8,5. No higher because of the scope limits that Empire didn't have (although this is the better of the two games).

    Cheers.

  • fucking pre loads

  • rome total war 2 would be nice - with the game engine of Napoleon Total War-- as much as i loved Napoleon Total War and empire total war - rome total war will always be my fav game in the series it was such a leap from medieval total war 1

  • this game is hard?! the ai is retarded and economy is easy to handle

  • This game is a frame rate killer. But it's a lot of fun!

  • wtf is this guy talking about, this game isn't that hard.He is exaggerating so much about the game's diffuculty

  • this guy suck at this game lol

  • does machinima only give 8/10? and what the hell is this guy talking about? the tw series is for tacticians not for some panzie who has never even played this game

  • does machinima only give 8/10? and what the hell is this guy talking about? the tw series is for tacticians not for some panzie who has never even played this game

  • does machinima only give 8/10?

  • Should I buy this if I just want to play the battles

  • @serd95 battles are nice, multiplayer is pretty fun to, so yea u dnt have to play campaign when u get this game.

  • WW1 total war should be awesome

  • meh ,you can just spam artillery and complete the campaign

  • @aloyziskee lol have you ever played the game? if u mass artillery the opponent cav will rape you so bad. you should get the game and spam artilerry in the campaign mode so that i can drop in a battle to totally rape your cannon only forces. You are retarded get a life u moron.

  • @aloyziskee this is why u would be the biggest newb in any good realistic RTS game. Go play with yourself dumbass.

  • @SUPERBAD119 As if your such a pro play AOM with me and see who wins

  • try company of heroes

  • its ww2 i know but still awsome

  • ROME TOTAL WAR 2 cmon they gotta get on it

  • thanks for assuring me that it could run on "not so advanced" machines! The empire total war demo didn't work for shit for me, but this demo worked almost completely fluently with low settings.

  • The economy isn't that hard, not considering the other games were amazingly easy to manage. Moreover you can save in the campaign...so wtf?

  • what is this guy on, you can save multiplayer campaigns!

  • It really doesnt look different anough from Empire. Just feels downscaled, if they simply patched Empire to have all the extra 'qualities' this game possessed then it would be much better.

    How can you go from near-global Total War with Empire to just a few sections of some continents?

    Are there no trade theatres in this game?

    Is there a global campaign map like in Empire -with the napolean campaigns just operating in europe?

  • @SonicSidewinder no its only in europe, but they really added a lot of intricate things which arent quite noticable in this review. such as different unit stats depending on terrain, new units, and etc. I have not exactly played the entire game but i played at a friends house (ive played Empire total war) this game is a worthy expansion

  • Hard? steep learning curve?

    I wondered why they even bothered to include a tutorial since the first real campaign is incredibly easy.

    I played on hard/hard difficulty settings and basically rolled over the map with a single army and had tons of money I didn't use. (I don't like "very hard" difficulty because the AI doesn't get any better, it just cheats)

    In Empire you could at least adjust the difficulty by choosing a difficult to play nation.

  • vietnam

  • the seiges piss me off, one second its a city then you build walls and all signs that it was a city are gone and tehres nothing but a fort. and when i attacked rome, it looked like a small village, not the rome i remebered i guess

  • Coming to think of it, in the future the Iraq war will probaly need up as a game of it's own...

  • iraq war is already in several games

  • @TheCamel5

    did you actually LEARN how to play?

  • u can save during online campaigns so wtf ?

  • i heard from a guy who works in game development theyre going to try ww1

  • i say no to a American Civil Total War

  • lol,you doesn't need Steam to run this game. maybe the next game they will make is about American Civil War,or come back to Rome Total War with Kickass Graphics.

  • @luftwaffe789456123  i hope they will make american civil war

  • What? You can save during a campaign.

  • I doubt there will be a ww2 game made.. Considering army formations isn't used anymore, it would be a more confusing, and alltogether smaller scale than the other total war series.. They could make Caveman: Total war though :D

  • When will the next Homeworld Game be created, thats what i want to know.

  • Napoleon isn't hard. Realistic RTS's aren't for you.

  • @ebtricks he prolly just baut it it takes time to get used to a game as for me i get used to it right away but for some people it takes time just cuz a guy thinks its hard doesnt mean its not for him give a man time to learn something and he could get 10 times better than sum1 who gets it right away

  • Before Empire: Total War, the only RTS I had played was Endwar, and the only other PC game was ARMA 2. But, I got used to the interface, controls, and tactics after three plays of the demo.

    Like I said earlier, if Total War is REALLY hard for you after playing it for a while, then it simply isn't your game.

  • it is very hard but im getting through it

  • hope they make a total war for ww2 and ww1 and civil war and nam and revolutionary war and a

  • i hope one day they make World War 2 Total War

  • lol Hitler Total War

  • @Alexandros1294

    ROFLMAO!

  • @Alexandros1294

    Hitler total war would be epic. :D

    From 1933 to present about 400 turns or something

  • @Alexandros1294

    MAKE IT!!

  • @TheBiggestWolf Make what...?

  • @Alexandros1294

    Hitler: Total War. They should make that game it would be epic. Imagine defending against the AMericans on D-Day with scarce supplies and forces, or invading poland, or attacking Russia and France. Wow that would make an epic game.

  • @TheBiggestWolf I'd prefer an Alexander Total War. One that isn't an expansion to Rome, one that isn't half assed and is actually worthy of the great man himself. With Napoleon, I know they can do it.

  • @Alexandros1294

    I think they already made an Alexander one. I could be wrong though.
