Paradox has the Midas touch with grand strategy games. Napoleon had the Midas touch with military strategy. March of the Eagles is a match made in heaven.
Paradox’s new think-em-up has the following features:
– A Decade of Fire: Rule a major European power from 1805 to 1815 and ride out a decade of tactical innovation and strategic duplicity.
– Manage Great Men: Take advantage of your generals’ unique skills to be sure they are in the right place when rival armies meet.
– Manage Great Armies: Recruit vast armies from your population or build a navy to contest the rule of the seas.
– The Velvet Glove: Build coalitions to strengthen your hand and use diplomacy to undermine your enemies
– Logistics and Tactics: An army marches on its stomach, so keep your supply lines secure while your forces master new tactics and new modes of fighting in an era that revolutionized warfare.
– Mutiplayer: Up to 32 people can go online and duke it out for mastery of Europe.
Now, this doesn’t answer my fundamental question: is this the Grand Strategy game where you can finally stop Napoleon from insanity and decide not to invade Russia, but it sounds good nonetheless.
Enjoy the promo video!
Good headline! You suckered me fair and square. I was expecting a searing simulation of the lives of medieval dung collectors. Maybe for their next game?
Ah, you'll love recreating the Spanish war of Attrition on Napoleon anyway, admit it 😛
