About Fields of Glory
In 1815 Napoleon escaped from exile on the island of Elba, returned to France and made his way to Paris in triumph. His disbanded troops once again took up arms and flocked to his colors. The defeated ruler of Europe was, once again, Emperor of France. The Allies were taken by surprise. The master military tactician was back! The Anglo-Allied army commanded by the Duke of Wellington was based in Belgium; he would have to combine forces with Blucher's Prussians to defeat him. Napoleon marched north to drive a wedge between the two armies. The battle lines were drawn for the Waterloo Campaign.

This MicroProse Napoleonic strategy game received only mediocre reviews on its release in 1993. It hasn't aged well. To the modern eye, the graphics are difficult. The game features six battles fought in real time between Napoleon and his foes. Most of the screen is unhelpful. How relevant is the terrain? Are there objectives? How do I even order units around? The game comes with no instructions. It does come with a PDF file, a manual if one cares to read it. Even with the basics under control, maneuvering is still confusing and tiresome.

Fields of Glory is a classic real-time strategy title that transports players to one of the most famous military campaigns in European history: Napoleon’s final bid for victory in 1815. Developed by MicroProse and published on Steam by Ziggurat, the game focuses on the Waterloo campaign and delivers a battlefield experience that prioritizes authenticity, tactical planning, and large-scale warfare. Rather than presenting a fast-paced action strategy game, it embraces the traditions of historical wargaming, placing players in command of armies where every decision can influence the outcome of an entire campaign. The game's greatest strength lies in its dedication to recreating the realities of Napoleonic warfare. Players are given control over infantry, cavalry, and artillery formations across several historical engagements, including Waterloo, Quatre Bras, Ligny, and Wavre. Each unit type serves a distinct battlefield function, requiring careful coordination and timing to achieve success. Cavalry charges can shatter weakened lines, artillery can soften enemy formations from a distance, and disciplined infantry remains the backbone of any successful army. This layered approach to co…
This is actually a really fun game buyit on discount though as it is still rather dated
This still the premium tactical game, nothing comes close and the order of battle is genius.
Great game from my childhood. Love the game
