The game has the bones to be great, but at the moment it lacks everything from a stable netcode to proper balancing to servers in NA or any region outside of Europe. With hard and quick work this game can be made much better. It needs that work immediately though, before December 2024 at least. More game modes, stable netcode for better hitreg, and several balance passes. If they can do all that I'd gladly turn this to a yes review.

10/10 Would fight in the shadows of the Pyramids again!

Napoleon is huge improvement from Empire, essentially, the battles are now more naturally paced and feel very player influenced. Artillery is the biggest asset in the game, using the battle of Arcole for example, holding a bridge and firing at it with canister shot is often the deal breaker.

Cavalry takes a backseat to Artillery, but its still effective, dragging heavily armored mounted units through light infantry will destroy them. Infantry is the last in importance, however; line infantry is more durable, but less spammable as they lack the range to attack longer ranged infantry blocks effectively.

Essentially, the best part of each battle in the later stages, because your going to lack fully stocked infantry. Your going to find that victory is often due to tactical play, rather than spamming line infantry and rushing people down.

The essential RPG, better with mods, i would suggest getting them all before you begin your first character, Skyrim Nexus is the safest, most helpful mod resource, but still good default. 10/10
