I picked this up by digital download on Thursday and have been playing non-stop since. It is quite an improvement over the Empire game from last year. For those who are familiar with Empire, there are a lot of great changes in Napoleon that you will enjoy. No more slow AI turns, silly battle AI and clone armies. Napoleon gets rid of all that and has even better, more detailed unit renderings. The new campaigns are very nice as well. They have an RTI feel, but with Napoleon's career over three solid campaigns.
All in all, a very welcome game. The Creative Assembly team has gone a long way in my opinion in redeeming themselves from the fiasco that Empire was.
