Napoleon Total War If It Was Actually Realistic

#totalwar #napoleontotalwar #napoleon #gaming
In this epic battle, I take a realistically sized Napoleonic Core and attack an entrenched 60-gun Austrian position - this is madness but can Napoleon pull it off?

If you would like to 'challenge' me to a drop-in battle, this one or another similar one, you would have to install FCN 6.1, have a computer capable of fighting 30,000-man battles, and have played Napoleon Total War before!

Hi! Thanks for playing FCN, I’m the owner of the mod and it’s always great to see people giving it a play!
If you’re looking for people to battle, we’re always hosting ones in the discord, and I’m usually up for a game myself too.
Great video!

This video is proof that CA got it wrong. They keep making graphics and animations fancier, but battles smaller and more arcadey.

What you need is to make TW epic again, by focusing on the 00s dream: big realistic battles.

Forget the graphics, give me NTW graphics in a modern engine, but that can handle 40K per army. That's what I want.

I have been playing NTW for as long as it has been out and I have never seen anything like this. Insane scale, camera angles, and the resolution has been polished! Amazing!

What total war games needs to be fully realistic is not entirely on graphics improvement but on AI. Smart AI that can utilize formations effectively and present solid lines like a normal person would. I mean look at the blob, how can you present a solid firepower with that kind of front?

[Wimbold]

The AI is mismanaging its army so hard that it kind of nullifies any realism aspect.

[loolim]

The most realistic part isn't the numbers but Massena being killed by a stray canon ball like poor Marshal Lannes and so many others in battle

dude, not even joking or memeing, for whatever reason, your accent with legit anything war-based is very satisfying :D

[tryfryingmikejones]

there is no such possibility of an accurate tw experience until you introduce supply lines/baggage. until you do that, you have mobs of humans just showing up, firing and receiving without any feasible sustenance or logistical framework. as many other fans have said, CA needs to focus on these aspects, more than the off-battle dialings.

Imagine if this was multiplayer and you had each of your coop players (marshals) control an army corp much like how the grande armee functioned

[GersieGerste]

I love the sounds from the movie Waterloo in your video

[JaySeeOG]

This video shows what the potential of total war is, its just that CA has pivoted to focusing on the wrong things instead of giving us larger battles, smarter AI, etc. I would easily trade all of the improvements they made on the campaign side for the battles to be improved in these ways.

[grenadiergarde]

Fantastic video absolutely brilliant. As well as the bits and secnes from waterloo. Bravo.

a britain teaching me about the french is something i would not think i would ever see

[chasemanhart]

Happy to see a fellow Napoleonic scholar, and you have the field Command Mod! Everybody else I know online has NTW3

I wasn't aware u could turn the hud off in NTW

[Syphen]

the problem i have with having more than 20 units on each side is the opposing side's ai becomes incompetant, you see it when the austrians just kind of awkawrdly move in and out like they did, they just never maintain order and often shoot themselves with artillery loads.

[NADGEN]

This was a very well put together video, extremely fun battle to watch. Like you say, the artillery didn't end up being a game changer and the ai seems to leave a lot to be desired but it was enjoyable nonetheless. :)

[ImperiaISoup]

They added a new mod in the Lordz NTW3 campaign. It changed how AI is played, so AI no longer blobs. This is in the Discord server and is in one of the campaign channels

[geoffreynoonan]

Artillery is still king in today's battles.

[kaiser]

always good to see another massive battle that really immerses u in the time period
