Customer Reviews of Empire in Arms the Napoleonic Wars of 1805 - 1815
Real-time battles - a shortfall A strategy war game without real-time battles is not for me. The TOTAL WAR concept is my idea of the ideal strategy war game - a strategy "board" game with battles in real time.
Response to Chessboa
Even though i have yet to play this game, most other Matrix games are low budget and low quality. That is why i rate it 2 stars.
To most people, hex-style, or 2D games are very uninviting and aren't the fast action shooters that use graphics to grab your attention. The best game that i have played is Hearts of Iron, by Strategy First. This game, although 2D, is the most strategic and fun to play game i have ever played, but it doesnt have a ton of fans due to the low-end graphics.
4 stars for the game; the 5th when I see the comp. version
EIA is the best Napoleon era war game I've played. It's complicated, but the game play is rather simple. The diplomacy is probably one of the biggest attributes. The fighting is secondary to a good statesman.
Empires in Arms is the computer version of Australian Design Group classic board game. Empires in Arms is a seven player game of grand strategy during the Napoleonic period of 1805-1815. Playable either solitaire, by email or over the Internet. Corps level with full diplomatic options to allow players complete freedom to fight it out for control of Europe any way they want to. The map is divided up into provinces providing an attractive look.
The game moves in monthly turns where diplomacy and builds are conducted.Within the monthly turns there area variable number of impulses where corps and fleets move about. All movement is simultaneous with battles occurring at the end of the impulse.
Battles are resolved by players both picking a strategy and fighting a series of rounds in an attempt to break the enemy. Make and break alliances, declare war, invade minor nations, propose peace terms, build armies of landwehr, regulars, guards,light cavalry, heavy cavalry and artillery. Many historical leaders from the period are included to command corps and fleets, from Admiral Nelson to Marshall Davout to the Pashas of the Ottoman Empires.
All of this is at your disposal as you attempt to bring as much "glory" to your Empires as possible. The winner of the game is the Empires that has maximized the amount of "glory" points it receives throughout the game.
For those of you that are not familair with Australian Design Group here is some information on the company and their products. ADG was formed in 1982, by a group of Canberra gaming enthusiasts lead by Harry Roland and Greg Pinder. Their first game published was Empiress In Arms
