It's raining sturner games

On top of all the other recently released and/or announced games and expansions, is... wait for it...


Napoleon: Total War Announced [Aug 19, 2009, 09:27 am ET]

SEGA announces Napoleon: Total War (not to be confused with Commander: Napoleon at War), saying the next installment in the Total War series of real-time strategy games from Creative Assembly is due in February, 2010. The Napoleon: Total War Product Section is live with a trailer and some screenshots, IGN has an early Napoleon: Total War Preview, and here's a bit from the announcement, which references the "turn-based campaign":

LONDON & SAN FRANCISCO (August 19th, 2009) – SEGA Europe Ltd. and SEGA of America, Inc. today announced Napoleon: Total War, the first in an all-new story driven branch of The Creative Assembly’s multi award winning Total War RTS franchise. Napoleon: Total War will keep the franchise’s genre-leading 3D battles on land and sea. The turn-based campaign is split into three different story-driven campaigns, telling the story of the rise and fall of Napoleon Bonaparte through his most famous battles.

In Napoleon: Total War, aspiring generals have the chance to play as the legendary French general Napoleon Bonaparte or as one of his opposing factions. Battling through his three biggest military campaigns, the game will take you through Italy and Egypt, narrating the early years of the fearsome commander, while the third campaign will tell the story of his fateful drive towards Moscow and, ultimately, his showdown with the Duke of Wellington at one of the most famous battles of all – The Battle of Waterloo.

Re: It's raining sturner games

It's looking good.

I'll have to post the pics I recently made of a small unit of Late Imperial Roman cavalry (15mm)

Just in appreciation.

Re: It's raining sturner games

Got $6 and 30% off this week? This'un's a tank game; 3rd person, but with very accurate damage modeling. A classic that didn't reach enough of its target market; dev'ed by Germans working with museum originals nearby.

Re: It's raining sturner games

Ogre ftw? big_smile

When I found a copy of Treadmarks for $3 at Best Buy, a tank racing game with early deformable terrain, various models, speeds, weps etc.- coded by a young guy who lived just long enough to see it go gold, and blessed by The Carmack on a Make-A-Wish visit (in OpenGL no less- where's the OSX port?), I actually thought of an [MA] Treadmarks. But there were no more to be had, and other reasons against. Years ago, maybe '04ish.

Re: It's raining sturner games

I ran Panzer Elite, and it ran at an accelerated rate. Not really usable on this machine.
