Lead one of the Great Empires in titanic conflicts, or achieve economic dominance backed by shrewd diplomats and resolute military. Choose to rule as absolute despot or constitutional monarch. Unleash Hussars, Lancers, Dragoons and Imperial Guards across more than 50 battle maps - from the green fields of England, to the icy wastes of Russia and sweeping deserts of Morocco - all in stunning, full 3D. Fight for naval dominance in breathtaking, real-time sea battles. This is an age of change - be at the leading edge of modernity or your civilization will fall by the wayside.

  • Choice of Empires: Choose from the five Great Empires of the period - Great Britain, France, Russia, Prussia or Austro-Hungary, in your struggle for domination. Each Empire has its own strengths and weaknesses that can change as play progresses.

    5.0 out of 5 stars For me - better than Rome Total War, 24 Jun 2005
    Unlike previous reviewers, I found this to be much more rewarding than RTW - the main reason being that the management side of the game is much more in-depth. I do like certain parts of RTW's system, particularly the family line, but much prefer the politics and diplomacy of Imperial Glory - aspects which really capture the era.

    The battles too are graphically far superior and, when coupled with a rousing soundtrack and excellent voice acting, really bring the Napoleonic period to life.

    If you're a fan of the Napoleonic era, or just strategy games in general, I'd deinitely recommend a purchase. It's the best strategy game I've played of recent times.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Quite good game, 19 Jul 2006
    By A. H. Morgan (Kent, England) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
    I first thought it would be bad with the reviews but it isn't at all that bad. The battles are unrealistic with no morale for the troops which would be vital in napolionic times.The campain is good because you can choose your style of leadership, having advantages for each type.What is annoying is that you have to be either GBR, France, Prussia, Russia or Austria. Each country has its advantages and disadvantages.You can also control the navy and battle with your ships which can be good and can be bad.Overall this game is worth buying and you can have alot of fun on it with the right techniques.

    3.0 out of 5 stars ONE major flaw: TOO EASY!!!!!!, 6 Jun 2005
    By A Customer
    If Rome Total War is a 5-star game, this has to be a 3.

    Its most obvious weakness: Assuming you're already familiar with the Total War series, you will find campaign mode ridiculously easy, even on the difficult setting. This is basically because your enemies usually dont have any coherent strategy and their unit AI in battle is extremely basic. (why do they always charge you instead of defending a very good position??).

    Other weak points:
    -Most advances in the research tree are not very useful (such as ugrading your trade networks - by the time you aquire this advance, you will have made so much $$$ in the game, you wont be needing it). Hidden wharves?? counterespionage?? what for?

    -Naval battles where you command more than 3 ships are extremely hard to play.

    -Finally, all nations and empires have very similar units, the only difference sometimes is the name (Black Watch vs. Royal Guard vs. Spanish Guerillas)

    Other than all that, this game is beautiful!!! Battle mode detail is amazing, I love the idea that units can occupy positions, sound fx and music are great and network play should be very entertaining.

    I hope EIDOS release an upgraded sequel to this game. If they tie up a few loose ends, it should become a genuine competitor for the Total War series.

    Nice try!
