#IMPERIAL GLORY DEMOCRACY OR AUTOCRACY SERIES#

Having noted a whole AI Prussian Corps wandering up and down the same 50km of road for a whole game year (completely undisturbed by the fact I had sent Davout via that same road to capture Berlin!), I gave up. Putting that down to the fact that it was on 'easy', I put the difficulty up to max and won my second game. In my first game, I won playing France despite not bothering with such trivia as recruiting more troops. Which wouldn't have been so bad if the AI wasn't the worst I have ever come across. More recently there was Napoleon 1813 which looked as if it had it all, which it pretty much did except that it was single-player only. In particular I recall an Amiga game called Napoleon the Campaigns 1805-1814 (was that a Frank Hunter game?) which was actually rather good - except for one scenario that was completely bugged (this was in the days before downloadable patches, remember).

I has been tried before, although not by Imperial Glory (which to be fair should be judged according to what it attempts to be - which isn't the game you suggest). I have the Tin Soldiers demo of Alexander and I'm impressed. Leaders can respond to challenges quickly, shift resources decisively. So which system performs better under stress For the last several years the autocracies seemed to have the upper hand. I would love to find a game on the scale of the Total War/Risk board game (grand strategy) but with the option of fighting the battles when there is an engagement. By David Brooks Joe Biden correctly argues that the struggle between democracy and autocracy is the defining conflict of our time. I like the Close combat games but sadly there are no Napoleonic era games. This brings me to IGOUGO or IGOWEGO games. As the controller/general I can't be everywhere at once! If the Ai on my side had Sgts, Captains and so on, who thought for themselves, great, but they don't. There is a frantic deployment, units finish a deployment/engagement and mill around in the last facing. I recently purchased Imperial Glory, hoping it would be an improvement on previous games but I was wrong.

#IMPERIAL GLORY DEMOCRACY OR AUTOCRACY SERIES#

The total war series came closest but there always seems to be a lack of control at the battle stage. For many years I have been hoping for a game that re creates the table top battles my friend and I used to play.
