Thanks for sharing. I am surprised not to see anymore Crown of Glory Emperor's Edition in the top list. This game needs a version 2.

I'm a big AGEOD fan, but "Wars of Napoleon" was a hot mess, and was never fixed. That game should have had a couple of more years of development. I'm hoping that they might remake that one with their new engine.

I just can't play those AGeod games. They have great content, just can't get into that game engine.

Why not patch it?

It is not easy to change 7 days a turn design with patch. Needs too much economic, events and movement rework.

7 days a turn currently very slow for a campaign game. For a pbem game playing some factions (Spain and Turkey and maybe some more) are just waiting game. We did 7 player pbem. But still one of the best operational games of the period. Supply and attrition is quite good.Hope new AGEod engine do Napoleonic game again.
