Style: Other
# of Scenarios: 1
Version: Empires: Retail Release
Version 1.3

1805; Napoleon Bonaparte has declared himself Emperor and created the Marshalate, to honour his most trusted and talented soldiers.
Meanwhile, the European countries unite to get rid of him, and form the Third Coalition.

It is up to you, and your Marshals, to steer away from diplomatic and military disaster and forge an Empire in Europe that will last. Take on the major European powers of the time (8 powers represented) as Napoleon, and dominate Europe through military might and diplomatic cunning. Make political decisions that can mean the difference between alliance and open war, and lead your forces in battle against enemies you can only hope to beat...

Change history forever; will you avoid Napoleon's pitfalls, or try them anyway, and see if you play the game of war better than the Emperor!

Features:
-----------
- Difficulty levels are different
- Accurate map of Europe, ~30 cities represented
- Unique diplomacy system
- Unique command system: control your Marshals, who in turn control the troops
- Computer Players use different attack routes and armies to wreak havoc on your nation
- Austria, Russia, the United Kingdom, Prussia, Spain, Portugal, Denmark, the Kingdom of the Netherlands are represented and can be interacted with
- Train 4 basic units (Fusilier, Voltigeur, Lancer, Cannon) and 5 additional Unique Units (Red Lancer, Yellow Lancer, Imperial Guard Grenadier, Latvian Fusilier, German Fusilier)
- Force your erstwhile opponents to become your Vassals, and receive Vassal Troops
- Napoleon gives attack boost to nearby soldiers
- And that's not even all...


Installation:
-------------
Move the "Pawns of the Empire.ssa" file to your ActivisionEmpires: Dawn of the Modern WorldDataCampaigns folder.

My thanks goes to many testers, and I was inspired firstly by Hank and Midgard Eagle by the idea of having a Marshal lead an army and the new troops training method.

I owe a lot, too, to the numerous testers who thoroughly played this scenario, gave hints, tips, noted bugs, and gave me general advice. Thank you,

Mechstra, Talon Karrde, Adder, Hank, xLpx, NathraX, iNtRePiD, and First Crusader (who pointed out a bug shortly after release)


UPDATED!!!
-----------

- Fixed error in message, where it said Russia in stead of Prussia
- Added Victory Cinematic
- Added extra English invasions on Hard Difficulty level

gamergc i really really really liked this scn. i didnt want it to end. ill be sure to try in on medium and hard and will continue to have lots of fun with it. one problem ive found is that all you need is cannons. nothing else is better and because they (most of the time) dont even attack ur cannons you can stay safely behind ur 4 range buffer and fight them all day. its only when they attack you, but in those cases i have lots of elite gun men to defend myself. this is the only real issue i find in the scn. i loved the map, creativity, instructions, everything. thanks a lot it was great.

btw how do you make citzens with flags on their heads?

edit: i beat it on medium too now. was much more fun although i started getting really pissed off because i would kill spain and then potugal and all the snipers and spain would rise up again and they never wanted to give up :)

bug: lavtivan fusliers come out as imperial guard fusilers.

Declan Misiewicz How do you get troops from warsaw and the other specialised troops because there is no option to integrate them into your empire.
sneaky_b_stard Completed this campaign. At first was little confused, but i got the hang of it really well. Really good campaign i thought, even though its only one scenerio it lasts for a long time, which is excellent. Im sure alot of effort went in to this, well done. :)

The balnace is sweet, because yes you start at war with 3 people but they all do nt attack at the same time, one thing that pissed me off was that i declared war vs portugal and then they got help from england also like 15 mins after war with portugal spain revolted so i had a huge problem down there other then that Purfect.

Creativity: 5
Yeah creativeness wasn't all that special , jk, this was a sweet scn and you just came up with this, I LOVE anything that happens while the U.S.A is still growing, 1700's to 1900's is my time period so this scn is the best one i have seen bewteen those time periods.

Map Design: 5
WOW! you made this map by yourself, must of took a long long long time,so thats why i'm giving you a 5

Story/Instructions: 5
the instructions were pretty clear to me, to dominate all countries, especiall united kingdom, spain, and portugal.

Wow! this is the Best Scn on the face of the planet earth, I liked everything about and 1 thing I think you could of done, you could of made Napolean as a moveable character, thats my opinion ( try my war of 1812 Scn's out PLZ!!)
Lt Spoon I personally think that this campaign is the shiznitz. It is one of the best that i have played so far. probly since im new and i just found this site yesterday :P. anyways this really breaks up the monotony in the standard gameplay for me. this is a real strategy game cause it makes u think unlike the normal game where all you have to do is send your waves of troops and stuff at the enemy till you waste them completely. so good job on this and keep it up.
grekoreko Dude. This campaign is amazing. You are amazing. This campaign is even better than the original game campaigns. And I thank you. Thanks to this scenario I have become a way better moder than I was before. I have figured how you did everything. Well almost everything. I don't know how did you do the "Austria, Prussia or Russia become vassals" thing. I know how to do it after the first war. But how did you do it after the second war (I hope that I'm understood). And the objective of the newly created units to attack France and your's to follow the marshal. This are the main things I still haven't figured out.

It's good though too short. And by my opinion you should have put in the Ottoman Empire. I saw that you have made such a player but you didn't turn on the needed triggers for the player to be active. What happened? What changed your mind?

Very good map. Though you could have made Egypt too.

The instructions are good but some things aren't mentioned.

But above all this is still the best scenario I've ever played in EDOTMW including the original ones.
