This game has only half a year left to live...
The player is only able to engage five nations to play and campaign battle limit of maximum units is 18 whilst the Custom battle scenarios is 20! Funny as it gets, the player is only able to place a maximum of three officers in one of the many territories composing the map, each commanding three units at first, increasing by 1 unit when ranked one of out the three possible times. The player may also recieve three Marshals which can command up to six units each through completing a quest. There is only four types of different cavalry, five different infantry and artillery types and three types of vessels. The battles themselves have very limited things to do. It is unheard of capturing artillery, no such a thing as a morale system, impossible to lead infantry out of melee and I have so many other reasons to bash this game its rediculous.
However, this game has good graphics in both the battles and campaign maps. But what I have really enjoyed was the different languages written for the different countries. Russians speak Russians, French speak French, etc. There is barely any games out there that have this. Everyone usually speaks English for the player to comprehend but this made it feel like you were actually controlling your empire and troops. I think the total war games can take this feature into their product.
Overall, this game is really annoying and limited that makes me not even want to use my tactical genius inside my brain. Do not get this...wait for EMPIRE TOTAL WAR!
