Napoleon: Total War Screenshots Saddle Up

Did CA ever released the multiplayer component for Empire? I could have sworn they promised a patched that provided this..

Will this feature the Peninsular War, largely fought by Wellington and Napoleon's Marhals? That's the real appeal for me.

One of those screens shows troops marching across a bridge into a town; could this game finally introduce proper cities into the Empire setting? Nothing worse than invading Paris only to be faced with a dozen or so buildings randomly tossed about (or it might just be one star fort).

For the first time since Rome: TW. I won't be getting the latest Total War game on release and not for the reasons most would give (CA haven't managed to release a bug free, glitch free game since dinosaurs ruled the Earth). But simply because I don't feel I've gotten everything I can out of Empire yet and with a similar setting and smaller campaign scale I don't see what this would give me that was so very different to the experience already available to me.

In Empire over time I've probably completed about 4 campaigns of the grand campaign, with Spain, France, Great Britain and Russia. But every time I play a campaign it turns out differently, different allies, different enemies and different battles. My computer also struggles at time with Empire, so I imagine Napoleon will chug and take longer than the depicted time interval to load. So I will await the purchase of a new computer at an unknown juncture in the future.

TL:DR How can that be too long, it's two paragraphs. Lazy peeps.

There is no greater sin in the gaming world than to knowingly release an unplayable game. After Empires, Creative Assembly has absolutely no credit with me anymore.

Cash up front only please. Prove to me that you can release a working game that won't require months of waiting around for you to fix your shit.
