Total War: NAPOLEON – Definitive Edition

Set during the Napoleonic era, the game lets you lead Napoleon’s campaigns or take the side of other major powers. Its campaigns span conflicts from the early Italian campaign to Waterloo, with historical battles available as well. On the campaign map, make strategic decisions as you expand and manage territory, develop your economy, and build armies. The included Peninsular Campaign offers a separate Iberian map with 32 regions, where France, Great Britain, and Spain pursue different objectives amid political conflict and guerrilla resistance. When armies meet, take direct command in real-time land and naval battles, positioning infantry, cavalry, and artillery. The Definitive Edition includes the game’s DLC, adding campaigns, battles, agents, and elite units that can become available through territory or technological advances.

Lead a European power through the Napoleonic Wars, managing campaigns turn by turn and commanding real-time land and sea battles.
