Napoleon Total War Manual Part 8

As you might already have figured, the slider that indicates the chance to win, if we happen to automatically resolve the battle, turns in the favour of the one who has more artillery. This factor is more important than any other factor, including the skill of the general. As we can see in the waterloo campaign, the total war staff actually claimed that Napoleon lost the Waterloo fight just because of the rain, which prevented him from moving his cannons to the exact places he wanted. Either this information is correct or false, the cannons have great impact on the chances of victory, and it is obvious that even the most skilled general on earth can not win a battle against an army with proper artillery, if he has no artillery.



Artillery fire breaches defences, impairs morale of enemy troops, snipes the generals and deprives the enemy army from morale and the general skills, such as rally and influence. And we have also learned that one of the main factors that determine the tide and fate of the battles that we fight in Napoleonic Total war is, the morale of our troops. They can be increased by the skill and command and traits of the general, or can be increased by the base morale of the troops you have, However, thinking that an army morale can get high up to 30 and such with the impact of generals skills and traits, while they have basic at most approximate umber of 10, the generals also has great importance on the map. So consider how important are, the artillery if we say that they are even more important! One skilled general can create wonders with one unit of artillery. Just one unit of artillery, even a single cannon can change a lot of things in a battle. Save many of your fellow soldiers lives. Can help you defend a fort from inside, keeping the gates open. One can make a single cannon hold all of the entrances in a fortress, and kill anyone that tries to get in while the cannon still stands tight and firm on its situation, guarding the door. So this minor thing can be that saves the day. Beware! Because the computer can also use these guns so good, in their favour, with this brilliant artifical intelligence of the game.



We have counted all sorts of benefits of artillery, apart from their most basic and natural usage, which turned out to be more effective in this latest Total War game. Cannons actually need to kill people. Not knock them off to let them get back on foot and continue to march. We are not playing bowling here, this is war and war is the trade of kings. So we must be serious and consider all sorts of possibilities in order to gain victory. And most possibilities are created by the careful planning of artillery actions. For these actions determine the tide and fate of the battle, and the battles determine the tide and fate of the whole war. So what we must do is to study the art of war and politics carefully so our sons will have the freedom to study mathematics and philosophy, a quotation from Jefferson, third president of the United States of America.

    "a quotation from Jefferson,"

    Nope, it's a quotation from John Adams, although I'm sure Jefferson would have been happy to re-use it.
