Good game but needs more improvement. But one of the few good Napolionic War RTS games currently out there on the market
User Rating: 8.5 | Imperial Glory PC
Gameplay: Continuing the breakout started with Praetorians, Pyro Studios is back with another non-Commandos property, Imperial Glory. The new game simulates the vast panoply of Napoleonic warfare, from the politics of empire to the tactics of the battlefield. This game is alot like the total war series, the game plays out on a huge map of Europe, stretching from Russia to Britain and from Tripoli to Sweden. Each of the five playable empires -- Great Britain, France, Russia, Prussia and Austria -- owns a few territories at the start of the game; the rest are distributed among a variety of non-playable states (Egypt, Spain, etc.). There is also a multiplayer part of game once you are done with the Singleplayer part of the game. Also there is a skirmish mode where you can just choose a random map to play with once of the playable nations. Graphics: The graphics in the game are really well done. Everything is in 3-D and the colors are well done. The effects of the cannon fire a well done and the movement of troops are well done. I have to mention that during the ship battles the water looks very nice :) The environments are much more tactically significant than those in Rome: Total War. Imperial Glory allows units to garrison all sorts of structures, from ruined temples to stone forts to dense forests. Many maps even include entire castles. Units in these structures can attack passing enemies pretty freely so it makes sense to try to grab as many of these structures as you can early on.
Sound: The sound of this game is amazing, the soundtrack suits the game well. Also the Voice acting is also well done in the game.
Value: All in all this is allright, it's alot like the Total War series but it could really use some improvement like the moral system during battles, ship battles is a plus but still needs some improvement. But i still enjoyed the game. The reason why I got this game is because there are few games that are set during the Napolionic Wars.
I give this game 8.5 out of 10.
