Napoleon: Total War Demo Released
by Chris Faylor, Mar 10, 2010 4:05pm PSTGot a hankering for some historical strategy but not sure if Napoleon: Total War (PC) is up your alley? Then I've got some good news: a demo is now up for grabs on Steam.
The 1990MB download includes two sections, a "War on Land" tutorial and "Battle of Ligny," with the latter offering the option to player as either France or Prussia.
Released back in February, Napoleon: Total War marked the first entry in the Creative Assembly-helmed series to feature day-one campaign multiplayer--the promised multiplayer beta for Empire: Total War arrived nearly nine months after its release--and requires Steam due to its use of the platform's Steamworks functionality.

I don't own Napoleon myself, insisting that I get farther into Empire than I have before I buy yet another massive scale, time sucking game, but I do want to try the demo. Particularly if they've done a better job of simulating the smoke of all the cannon and rifle fire that should obscure the battlefield more than it does in Empire.
I heard a lot of complains about the technical side of Empire: Total War. Is this coming along better?
