It’s a huge task but very rewarding at the same time and gives NTW3 a unique attention to detail.ĬA: How does NTW3 use historical sources?

We are trying to create rosters that can contain almost every regiment that fought for each nation, accurately represent their uniforms, the regiment’s historical combat performance, and give a historical description of what that regiment did in the Napoleonic Wars. I think the scale of NTW3 is much greater than any other Napoleon mod.

For example, we use a fog of war system on the battlefield, so to gain the initiative you must send scouts ahead to find the enemy.

NTW3 is a deep overhaul of the base game, ranging from carefully calibrated and realistic battle mechanics to new modes of gameplay (Army Corps), over 10,000 unique and historically documented units, 35 playable nations, over 2,000 commanders, more than 150 maps including famous battles like Austerlitz, Borodino, and Waterloo, and a customised user interface (UI) to make this level of complexity more user friendly. When Creative Assembly released Total War: NAPOLEON, the team immediately began working on it – a project that would become NTW3, and has been available since 2011. NTW1 was created for MEDIEVAL: Total War back in 2003 and NTW2 for ROME: Total War.
