European Tribune - Comments - Napoleon's return and effects of the crisis on ex-pats

Napoleon's return and effects of the crisis on ex-pats | 39 comments (39 topical, 0 editorial, 0 hidden)

Not Napoleonic, yet, but i have been spending more than reasonable amounts of time playing "Empire:Total War". Plenty of hats.
Europe in the 1700's was a mess... This sorts of games were always a great motive to learn some history, for me.

"Europe in the 1700's was a mess" - as opposed to what period ? :-)

Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner - that I moved to Nice.

Re: Napoleon's return... (4.00 / 2)

The series already has games set in medieval Europe and during the buildup and dissolution of the Roman Empire... The only periods left are pretty much the prehistoric times and maybe 1500-1700...

Europa Universalis II covers those, and Victoria: An Empire Under the Sun covers the 19th century.

They weren't very nice periods either...
