Evaluation

Wars of Napoleon launched on Steam on May 6, 2016. The game was originally released prior to its Steam debut and was ported to the platform as a complete, polished product. The developer news history shows two posts announcing the Steam launch (May 6, 2016), two pre-launch announcement posts (April 13, 2016), and one post from May 7, 2024 promoting a sale on AGEOD's catalog ahead of the studio's next game, Field of Glory: Kingdoms. There are no post-launch patch notes, DLC releases, or content updates of any kind in the record. No DLC has been listed on the store. The developer has made no announcements of planned future content for Wars of Napoleon at any point. The 2024 post is a sales promotion, not a development update, and its focus is entirely on a different game. Wars of Napoleon shipped as a fully complete product with four historical scenarios and no post-launch content cycle.

About this game

AGEod goes back to the Napoleonic era and delivers the most detailed and comprehensive strategy game ever created about a time of struggle and conquest that forged modern Europe.

The engine has been refined to better represent the peculiarities of the period, allowing players to think and act as commanders of the Napoleonic era.

You are now able to manage the complexities of armies organization and logistics in a very detailed political setting, where each contender plays a vital part to the final outcome.

Establish your dynasty over most of Europe as Napoleon, or get rid of the Revolutionary tyrant as Britain. Also play as one of the other main contenders of the time such as Austria, Russia, Prussia, Spain or the Ottoman Empire and emerge amongst the victorious powers!
