Napoleon 1813

Although i like this game from 1999, it had alot of serious crash bugs and other fatal issues that made it an admirable attempte to capture the 1813 campaign strategically and tactically, but it was in a poor state when released. Even after all this time, i still think there has been any other napoleonic era game close to what Napoleon 1813 was trying to achieve. Empire did like to try ambitious games in the strategy and simulation genre and they were often quite buggy and a bit experimental feeling. The publisher of this now on steam has not done anything to correct the problems of the original game, and other issues such as missing building textures are also present. The game crashed after about 15 minutes play for me on the battle of Wachau, but you will find this will happen on all battles, so best to save regularly. Looking at the games install files, it is apparent that some things have been edited, and maybe they just removed the building sprites. I have the original game also on my system and when i run that one through DXWND it plays with the building textures visible, this version that Strategy First has put out though still doesnt show the building textures even if put …

Does not work. Crashed almost immediately, and repeatedly.

The game places players in the midst of this turning point, where every decision can have far-reaching consequences. Whether leading French forces in a desperate effort to preserve the empire or commanding coalition armies determined to end Napoleon's reign, players are constantly reminded of the enormous stakes involved.
