Brilliant strategy! You would've made Napoleon himself proud as 75% of his victories were made against larger forces and he therefore almost always won due to tactical maneuvering. I love playing as the Russians. I'm really not sure why though.. I think it's cause of their awesome uniforms! (But really, I like their Life Guards and Unicorns). I hope to face you some day! My user name is master_tactician.
very; imformative; nicely implmented these really do help esp on understanding basic fundamentals and manouverings; above all I've seen how vitial it is to play aggesively!
I just bought this game, its the first Total War game I've ever bough so needless to say I was intimidated by the multiplayer, these vids are great learning tools and help me to understand the game better. Luckily I have a lot of micro skills from my days playing Company of Heroes, hehehe. Thanks a lot for the videos please keep posting em.
DUDE! you seriously are an epic commentator i find these vids a perfect mix of theatrics and fact/tactical info... brilliant for people getting into napoleon and simply wanting to watch cool vids..welldone! :)
can i ply wif u some time dude im kinda new ive only plyed 13 hours of napoleon total war and i think im 6 or 5 stars i good with elite infantry but il like u to get me better if u could one strat i usually do is mass my army in buildings my elite army its very effective ivde one alot of battles like tht
ahahhahaahha this so great........and very dramatic by the way......... i was just playing it in hard mode in the coalition campaing..... and i just used your same tactics....really works even thought I was heavily outnumbered 10 to 1.
I love how the epic music is playing when you charged the back of those skirmishers around the 4th minute and all of a sudden you hear " Our men are running sir" hahaha. Ruined the Epic Moment.
@saiedz I did indeed enjoy it alot, as I commented on another one of your videos, you should try to play LunaticMonk from the HUNTSMAN clan, hes good. ^^
This game is DEFINITELY worth 50 bucks (well only the imperial edition is $50, the regular is $40). Shogun 2 Total War is in a completely different time period, so it would be quite a different experience. I personally like Napoleon Total War more than any other Total War before (still waiting for Shogun 2 Total War).
The faction I like are the French, because of the Old Guard, elite soldiers, veterans of the 2 decade wars, soldiers who fought along Napoleon until the very end.
@saiedz Thank you =) i also have another question. Is this game worth paying 50 bucks for? Or should i just wait for Shogan 2 total war. ( i've never played a total war game. )
@the2machewys Sorry, this might be a late answer but; If you have the extra money, you should try out RTW first. Yes I know it's completely different time periods etc, but you should try it, just to get the Total War series gameplay feeling, if its not something for you, you saved 30-40 bucks. :)
i ve played capitan kidd too on the pyramides map we had a clanbattle he and another HG (both6stars) aggainst me and one of my clanmates :) check out my channel :) its the battle on the pyramides i made a vid out of it too :)
Favorite faction? I'd have to say prussia as it doesnt have the OP feeling of France and they still have the cavalry that Brits lack. The prussian cost effectiviness is also the best in the game i think. So I prefer the balance of Prussia.
Dude, WELL TOLD , GREAT TACTICS!! but why the fuck this music???
next time use mozart or beethoven because this and dont get me wrong like this song but it doenst fit in the napoleon age. now you given this song such a wannabe hollywood feeling.
use the mozart song in the movie Knowing ..
im really shocked excaly that u used this music... im a die hard fan of NTW
but anyways!
good luck next time and i really appreciate the lesson!
hahaha obviously i lose... that guy from video number 2... i've actually lost to him a few times. i'm not a god at this game :P
u can know alot about tactics but nobody plays mistake free all the time. i've been outplayed before too. hopefully this summer i'll put up some videos of losses so people can benefit from those too.
thank you... its hard to always find good opponents to play against online. the majority of players are pretty bad (like in my 7th video) especially when u play 2 vs 2 battles.
@saiedz it was disappointing compared to shogun even,maybe its my rose tinted glass's but i remember huge smoke clouds on that,to the point were you can hardly see your troops
I really enjoyed your commentary, please keep them coming saiedz! Keep teaching me lots of uber techniques. Also, may I please know the names of the songs you used? I know they are from dark knight, but I cannot locate which ones. TIA.
I was playing this very old game on the Playstation 2... I think it was the mask of zorro or something (it was definitely a zorro game) and in one of the mission there was a cut scene where they spoke about some crazy dude named the Butcher of Zaragosa. i thought it sounded catchy so i adopted the alias the Butcher of Basra (Basra being my hometown in Iraq)
I'm half Iraqi, half Lebanese. My dad is from Basra, Iraq which makes it my home town i guess... but i've never been to Iraq in my life. I live in Bahrain currently.
battle replays are not saved in video format... they have a special format where you can only view them in the 'View Replay' function in the game itself. How can i upload a raw battle replay to Youtube? the only way i can 'show' a battle replay is if i record the footage from the game itself with FRAPS.
yah i like Suvorov but hes not my favorite... my favorite general is by far Robert E.

Lee charged the Union center despite the fact that it was heavily fortified and against the recommendation of his top officers...That pretty much cost the Confederates the whole war!
@saiedz yah pickets charge was an embarrassment he should have listened to longstreet but oh well at least he admitted that he scrued up at the end of the battle
The internet is almost devoid of any tactical help pertaining to Napolion TW. Thank you for taking the time to help us out. These videos are epic and fun to watch while at the same time informative.
i wasn't even planning on uploading a 6th commentary video... it was supposed to be a full fledged "Tactics" video with schematics and diagrams of different strategies and battle plans that you can consider in multiplayer. That is on halt for the moment... but ill definitely put that video up in the summer. i plan to have a 'tactics' video after every 10 commentaries from now on.
i agree to the most part about the center of your army being the most important but sometimes you can make it weak to draw your opponent in and most people commit to many men to the center allowing you to collapse his flanks and surround him.
very good point... but nevertheless it remains vital to maintain communication between your two flanks. a separated army is much easily destroyed than an army that is based on units supporting each other. making the center of your battle line weak to draw in the enemy can be a smart thing to do but if by 'weak' you mean: will collapse in seconds... then i dont think that would be a very good idea.
it is better to take the initiative and attack your enemy's weak parts.
interesting question... i've never actually really thought about that. probably suvorov because he was probably one of the few generals to end his military career without a single defeat. he was both a military genius and a true soldier (he ate the same food his soldiers ate and slept on straw beds just like his men).
WOW that was epic i didnt think cavalry was that useful ill have to start using it more... just out of curiosity are lancers the only cavalry type you use or do you use heavy cavalry too?
can you please tell me the name of the song at 9:40?

very good point... but nevertheless it remains vital to maintain communication between your two flanks. a separated army is much easily destroyed than an army that is based on units supporting each other. making the center of your battle line weak to draw in the enemy can be a smart thing to do but if by 'weak' you mean: will collapse in seconds... then i dont think that would be a very good idea.
it is better to take the initiative and attack your enemy's weak parts.

interesting question... i've never actually really thought about that. probably suvorov because he was probably one of the few generals to end his military career without a single defeat. he was both a military genius and a true soldier (he ate the same food his soldiers ate and slept on straw beds just like his men).

WOW that was epic i didnt think cavalry was that useful ill have to start using it more... just out of curiosity are lancers the only cavalry type you use or do you use heavy cavalry too?
