The battle of Waterloo against the British will mark Napoleon's final defeat, or his ultimate triumph. Book Ends: The battle tutorial and the campaign tutorial have Napoleon fighting the British, marking the start of his rise.Bilingual Bonus: Units will answer to your commands in their respective languages, like in Empire.Badass Boast: The entirety of the intro, which serves as the page quote above, is Napoleon giving one.It's description reads: "Declare war on all nations the first turn, never negotiate peace, and win the game". Ax-Crazy: There is one steam achievement called "The Medallion of The Imperial Psychopath".Funny enough, Truth in Television as far as the Santissima Trinidad is concerned - in the Battle of Trafalgar, due to her huge size, she couldn't move in the light winds and got singled out as a target very quickly, so several British ships mobbed her and basically blasted her to splinters. Also, First Rates, especially the Spanish-exclusive Santissima Trinidad, are just too damn slow to be remotely useful in most scenarios, and their upkeep is stupidly high - even a trade juggernaut like Britain has trouble keeping more than a few.In custom battles and multiplayer, they are speedy, due to being independent of the wind, but only 80 cannons meaning a sailing ship with more cannons can take it down in a straight up fight. By that point, you will have, most likely, beaten the campaign or lost it due to the time limit. You pretty much have to max out the naval research tree to get them. The only time the AI acts any smarter is if it is scripted to do so, such as in the historical battles. Attack! Attack! Attack!: The singleplayer AI's general plan is to just march in a line straight at the player's army, even if it is outnumbered.Cavalry are best used as flankers failing that, they are best concentrated against small segments of line to break units in detail while the infantry focus on keeping the other side's infantry from turning their guns on the cavalry.

Cavalry are restricted to flanking and maneuvering by this time in history, and the vast majority of infantry can hold their own against any force of cavalry stupid enough to try a full frontal charge, thank you very much.
