A few questions from the GamesRadar preview are answered in the Gamespot preview, and another angle of views add their impressions of NTW. The article even contains some new screenshots to marvel over, so head over to Gamespot to read the preview.
The rumours of "Zombie Napoleon" are exposed, guess becoming a zombie once is enough for his liking.Scipii for the heads-up. Feel free to discuss in his thread here.

The rumours of "Zombie Napoleon" are exposed, guess becoming a zombie once is enough for his liking.
"In the case of M. Bonaparte, the campaign is being built around him, thus a critical wound will send him back to Paris for a good long while and a second will kill him permanently. Any other general in the game who is wounded enough will permanently die if struck down in battle. Should such a catastrophic event occur, that army will take an enormous morale penalty--much larger than in other games."The preview also highlights a new option to play campaign battles online against human opponents:
While these are all significant upgrades and tweaks, perhaps the most exciting new feature in Napoleon will be the campaign's drop-in multiplayer option, which you can simply check "on" or "off" as you play. If you elect to leave the option "on," this means you'll be able to play out any of the battles you face during your single-player campaign not against the computer-controlled AI as usual but against an actual human player online through Steam who may offer a much stiffer challenge.Thanks to
