pre-release info New First Look: Napoleon

pre-release info
Fun, I can rank all the leaders all on social media now

You will never guess who is last place.
 
Anyone notice how the video calls many of his not agenda features agendas? Pay attention to the text.
 
It's probably worth recalling the amount of effort needed, too. I don't imagine it's difficult to find a French-speaking Corsican voice actor, for example, given it is the official and most spoken language on the island.
my opinion is that if it would be so hard to find the appropriate voice actor for himiko, they shouldn’t have picked her. if she was picked bcs she’s an ancient leader, then they should put the same effort into voicing her properly as they would a mesopotamian or ancient egyptian leader (even if those are imperfect)
 
As a French person, I am really confused by his accent. It's not a french accent 😅

It's probably a Corsican or Italian accent, reflecting the one he had in real life. Napoleon spoke with a strong accent, and as a kid was even mocked for it! Keep in mind he was born just after Corsica became French, at a time where it was much more Italian than today.
 
I still find Napoleon Emperor the most interesting of the two, It really captures Napoleon, with everybody hating on you while you rack in the gold.
"That's an interesting argument, but I'm rich and you're poor and angry."--Emperor Napoleon, probably; Emperor Napoleon + Mughals is not a combination I ever want to see in the game...
 
Soooo, I wonder if they'll update the description for Revolutionary Napoleon on this page:

Last I recall the bonus was +1 movement for army commanders, but I'm also down for +1 movement for all land units instead.

We saw it was changed a few weeks ago when streamers started showing off their games
 
Man, the final batch of leaders has really been a big yawn for me. Napoleon, Rizal, Freidrich, all close to the bottom for me in terms of interest. Himiko's Queen of Wa, and Lafayette (who I've cooled on) I'll play at some point but they're low down my list. Tubman I like the idea of her more than her abilities...

Out of the final batch, the only one I actually am looking forward to is Catherine...

At least there were a lot of early leader reveals I was very interested by!
