There is one thing MAJOR that is missing, The ability to see battles and guide troops. Maybe thats why NTW is so much more popular . This game just looks like another Vicky2, or sengoku, they are a dime a dozen. PARADOX!! Stop wasting time and money on these look a like games and give us something that we can command troops in battle, even if its hex's and turn based. PLEASE enough of this nonsense.
What on Earth are you on about? "Dime a dozen"? Where? Paradox are just about the only people making games of this sort. There just aren't games like this out there, so if anything we need more. (And incidentally, if you're lumping Sengoku in with Vicky2 like they're the same thing, you either haven't played both, or aren't the sort of gamer these are meant for.)
"Maybe thats why NTW is so much more popular"
More popular than what? This game that hasn't been released yet? What other Napoleonic strategy game are you talking about? Or are you talking about Paradox games in general? If so, I'd very much like you to provide a source for your unfounded assertion, because I very much doubt Napoleon: Total War is all that much more popular than the bigger Paradox titles.
If you want to play TW, go play TW. I'll keep my far deeper campaign map the Pdox games provide, thank you very much.
Well I have three things I would like to see:
1. Spain and Russia will not automatically surrender just because their capitals are taken. This happens in a lot of other games.
2. Napoleon’s abilities decrease over time. Well at least in 1815.
3. The French will start wars unnecessarily. I’m thinking Spain and Russia. Two wars they didn’t need to fight but because of Napoleon’s ego they did.
In regards to 2, I really don't know why they'd make Napoleon worse over time. He was nearly at his best in 1814. Besides, that's not the kind of game this is. Should we keep track of his health through the years, and adjust his stats by some developers opinion of how "good" he was at any particular date? Shall we track the real-life health and ability of all the generals in all the armies?
And in regards to 3, firstly it's a terrible idea to force a player to start a war if they don't want to, and secondly it's not even remotely accurate to say those wars were started unnecessarily due to N's ego. I'm so very tired of the silly proto-Hitler caricature of Napoleon some people hold. Nappy had his reasons for going into Spain, and while it's arguable whether they were good or not, his ego wasn't among them (though his ego certainly had an effect, as it would with anyone, on how well he thought he'd do there). As for Russia, they broke the treaty they had with France, and were preparing an invasion of their own. Blaming that war on Napoleon solely is simplistic.
