Scourge of War: Waterloo

<p><span style="font-size:12px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Scourge of War: Waterloo follows in the footsteps of its American Civil War predecessors and takes the action to one of the most famous battles in history. It is by far the most detailed game about the final battle of the War of the Seventh Coalition. The game boasts 20 historical scenarios (from the French, Prussian and British perspectives), 3 multiplayer scenarios, unlimited user generated sandbox scenarios, and a sandbox campaign, which adds a campaign layer to the game providing more context for sandbox battles.<br /> <br /> At first glance, the player is tasked with moving enormous bodies of troops into position to crush the enemy, be it with sheer numbers or superior tactics. In reality though, there is a whole lot more going on. First of all Scourge of War: Waterloo offers a lot more realism than any similar title on the market, having historical unit names, weapons, formations etc. More importantly, however, is the fact that the game simulates the complete chain of command. Players are not by definition placed on top of this chain (though it is possible), but are often placed somewhere in between. Meaning that during the battle, they get orders from above, interpret them and form a strategy with them, then, they will send out their couriers to deliver their own orders to the units directly under their control.<br /> <br /> <strong>Features</strong>:</span></span></p> <ul> <li><span style="font-size:12px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Huge Napoleonic-era armies marching and fighting across enormous historical maps.</span></span></li> <li><span style="font-size:12px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Big amount of content, including 20 singleplayer scenarios</span></span></li> <li><span style="font-size:12px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">An all new Sandbox campaign mode adding a strategic layer to your tactical battles</span></span></li> <li><span style="font-size:12px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Tons of engine tweaks and adjustments to suit Napoleonic Warfare- Units can now take cover in buildings!</span></span></li> <li><span style="font-size:12px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">New and improved interface for easier command and control</span></span></li> <li><span style="font-size:12px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Highly accurate historical battlefield maps and general purpose battle maps.</span></span></li> <li><span style="font-size:12px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Realistic weather.</span></span></li> <li><span style="font-size:12px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Courier system for dispatches.</span></span></li> <li><span style="font-size:12px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Extensively researched historical order of battle for the full Battle of Waterloo</span></span></li> <li><span style="font-size:12px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Real time combat command of a brigade, division or corps</span></span></li> <li><span style="font-size:12px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Random play mode to generate battles.</span></span></li> <li><span style="font-size:12px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Routing server for multiplayer play.</span></span></li> <li><span style="font-size:12px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Multiplayer online combat in several modes, including: Standard opposite sides, cooperative play against the AI ,play embedded within historical battle scenarios.</span></span></li> <li><span style="font-size:12px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Random play mode to generate battles of brigade, division, or corps size on any of the included maps.</span></span></li> <li><span style="font-size:12px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Extensive option set to tailor the game experience to the players preference and to allow good game performance on a wide range of systems.</span></span></li> <li><span style="font-size:12px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Full modding support including a moddable AI.</span></span></li> <li><span style="font-size:12px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Sounds and Smoke effects to bring the battles to life.</span></span></li> <li><span style="font-size:12px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Multiplayer games that can support as much as 32 players</span></span></li> </ul>
