Thankfully, this isn't an issue any more, at least not when playing in the mini-campaigns. One of the problems with the original was how intimidating it was to approach a grand campaign as a major nation, because of the sheer number of things that needed investing in or controlling. When on the campaign map it's harder to see where such loving care has been put into the game's looks, because it doesn't look that different to what came in Empire, except for being less cluttered. It makes you feel like Creative Assembly tried really hard when making this game. It's that sort of attention to detail that I love to see in games.

While It Seems we've written more about Napoleon than any other game this year, that's an indication of just how much there is to be written about it We've finally been able to get our hands on full-on preview code and the results, while still obviously in prerelease format, are exciting.
