About NAPOLEON: RULE OF IRON
NAPOLEON: RULE OF IRON is a tactical real-time strategy game where you can command Napoleon Bonaparte's most epic historical battles in 1:1 scale. At the battle of Borodino you will see 200.000 actual soldier models on screen engaging in vicious ranged and melee combat. At the battle of Leipzig even up to 500.000. Of course this depends on how well you do in the campaign.Charge of the french cavalry.The Campaign follows the story of Napoleon Bonaparte and his largest battles from Toulon to Waterloo: Fight in Italy, Egypt, Europe, Spain and Russia. This doesn't mean that the outcome is clear: there are three alternate endings, two of which are fictitious. Between battles you can manage your Grand Armée: buy supplies, recruit and disband infantry, cavalry and artillery and organize them into Corps. Units can gain experience over the course of the campaign and become your Old Guard. One of them can even bear an imperial eagle standard that inspires nearby soldiers - but be careful. Once it is lost to the enemy it is lost forever. Before each battle there is an immersive briefing and Napoleon will hold a speech infront of your army. The real-time battles give you full tactical control over historical formations like infantry and cavalry divisions and artillery batteries (up to 5000 rendered soldiers or 50 guns each). The maps were carefully reconstructed using NASA satellite data and historical records (though sometimes adjusted for gameplay reasons).

Excellent Napoloenic War Battle Simulator. A grounding for a future series perhaps? :) Luke from LT Gaming YouTube!8 found this helpful
This a very unique take on Napoleonic Battles and campaigns. The GOOD: Easy to learn and play, I didnt even need to read anything, I just jumped in and figured it out in 10 seconds. Realistic exhaustion and morale mechanics. This is not inaccurate Total War or other games where all the old methods of "gaming" the system are used. INSTEAD, you had better think, consider timing of attacks as well as when to pull back and regroup, etc. The BAD: For some reason in the Waterloo scenario (non Campaign) the Prussians never attacked, they just stood there. I thought, I set the game to highest difficulty. Maybe I didnt. I will find out from the Devs. The UGLY: Nothing ugly. Obviously though, the game is not the eye candy TOTAL War is, but that is a good thing. Not needed, as the real value is the gameplay which is great!2 found this helpful
Good game but not for me. I wont say I don't recommend it but the game lacks many functions to make it a realistic war sim. No formations for your units. Even a basic column and line would suffice. No camera angle control like in Scourge of War and Total War. Supply carts would make it more realistic too. I guess its trying to be like Ultimate Generals Civil War but with Total War Shogun 1 graphics which is fine for me. But with a much larger scale. Does sound awesome but its just giant formations blobbing on each other for now. Sucks cause I love everything else about this game. Im reading Simon Scarrow's Young Bloods book and I started the game where I was in the chapter of the book. I was so excited to be playing it with its story line and everything. Excited like in real life it was raining so the muskets don't work. But lack of basic tactical features was not for me at the end. I ended up refunding it for now. But if the game ever updates with more immersive features im buying again.
Shows the true scope of a Napoleonic battle. Large formations which the UI has made pretty easy to control. I do wish there was a way to change to different formations (like attack column). The developer has provided a lot of content too. There are about 20 different battles spanning Napoleon's entire career, for Toulon to Waterloo. I definitely recommend this one!
eh, i mean its good dont get me wrong but it really needs a sandbox campaign. gameplay wise its pretty engaging. i dont mind the camera locking but at least lock it behind my lines and not random angles lol the graphics are pretty basic but it really does bring scale to how many ppl were in these formations. its very niche. but the price is abt right. i feel like i got what i paid for. i got it for 10 idk if id pay 20 but ive def paid a lot more for a lot less.. lookin at u ageod. lol very easy to play and the ai is somewhat good and it seems the ai is dynamic. if u want a more realistic in terms of range, game speed, and unit count, but want the feel of ugcw in the napoleonic era this is for you. now being that said, the battles are fairly accuate to history and theres 33 of them. theres a campaign but i havent tried it fully yet. it seems rather linear but able to pick units for the battles. if napoleonic tactical level sims from a far out or higher up perspective this is for you
Great game ,especially for those of us who appreciate this era in history and in war.
