Changelog:

  • Generals’ names appear on their tiles
  • Generals may now move for free on their own (no activation cost).
  • Players may discard Event Cards when their hand gets full and they can accordingly draw a different card if desired.
  • When a nation’s capital is taken, there is a percentage chance that it will surrender every turn that it is occupied. This means that nations will hold out longer and have a better chance to re-capture their capital and to receive help from other nations before surrendering. This applies to the ‘General’ and ‘Emperor’ levels of difficulty.
  • The Friendly Neutral period has been extended from 6 to 9 turns (‘Corporal’ level of difficulty only).
  • Improved strategic AI on re-taking capitals
  • Improved strategic AI for Russia: Being more aggressive in driving more armies into Austria and Prussia
  • Improved tactical AI
  • Adding a combat bonus for Cavalry vs. Disordered Cavalry. This means that attacking infantry with cavalry is more dangerous if there is enemy cavalry in the same area.
  • ‘Passing’ in the advanced battles. When the player ‘passes’, the AI automatically wins initiative for the next move.
  • The 1800 scenario now lasts until 1815
  • A few small improvements in the strategic AI dealing with Russia and the Ottoman Empire.
  • There is now a small political cost when France declares war. The exact cost depends on the level of difficulty.
  • A few minor reliability fixes.
  • Improvements in user control over the game’s hardware preferences.

victory-and-glory-napoleonTo win a war, armies might be not enough. You need political skills as well, allowing you to change the balance of power in your favour, forge new alliances and isolate the enemy.

The endless conflict between Napoleon and the several Coalitions formed against him was fought following exactly this simple rule. Great Britain didn’t have a ground army able to counter alone the capacity of the Revolutionary France and was forced to convince and support potential allies on the Continent.

On the other hand, Napoleon took many risks to manage fighting on multiple fronts at once, stretching his resources and wasting time and materials.

In Victory and Glory: Napoleon, you will face the danger of a situation where alliances could change rapidly, and allies could turn into foes.

Thanks to an innovative Card System, you will be able to alter the course of the War, raising special troops, creating buffer states or preventing minor nations joining a hostile alliance.

Take a look at this nice infographic, giving you a little taste of what you can expect in the game!
