About This Game 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.GameplayAt first glance, the player is tasked with moving huge 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.StyleScourge of War: Waterloo has 2D sprites drawn on a 3D terrain and in doing so, is capable of showing far larger armies than most games out there. Players can zoom out to great heights to get the best overview of the battle, or zoom in and get right into the action. All units have historical uniforms and carry historical flags. Leaders stand out well enough to easily find them.InterfaceThe user interface had a major overhaul compared to previous SoW titles. The number of buttons on the screen has been reduced and replaced by a context-sensitive popup menu (optional) and it is now easier than ever to set formations in the desired position and with the preferred facing. Additionally, the new order of battle browser and a host of other new screens make it so that players will only have their own strategies to blame for failure.FeaturesHuge Napoleonic-era armies marching and fighting across enormous historical maps.A great amount of content, including 20 singleplayer scenariosAn all new Sandbox campaign mode adding a strategic layer to your tactical battlesTons of engine tweaks and adjustments to suit Napoleonic Warfare- Units can now take cover in buildings!New and improved interface for easier command and controlHighly accurate historical battlefield maps and general purpose battle maps.Realistic weather.Courier system for dispatches.Extensively researched historical order of battle for the full Battle of WaterlooReal time combat command of a brigade, division or corpsRandom play mode to generate battles.Routing server for multiplayer play.Multiplayer online combat in several modes, including: Standard opposite sides, cooperative play versus the AI ,play embedded within historical battle scenarios.Random play mode to generate battles of brigade, division, or corps size on any of the included maps.Extensive option set to tailor the game experience to the players preference and to allow good game performance on a wide range of systems.Full modding support including a moddable AI.Sounds and Smoke effects to bring the battles to life.Multiplayer games that can support as much as 32 players 7aa9394dea Title: Scourge of War: WaterlooGenre: Simulation, StrategyDeveloper:NorbSoftDevPublisher:Slitherine Ltd.Release Date: 19 Nov, 2015 Scourge Of War: Waterloo Download Code scourge of war waterloo español. scourge of war waterloo metacritic. scourge of war waterloo download. scourge of war waterloo sandbox. scourge of war waterloo. scourge of war waterloo indir. scourge of war waterloo mods. scourge of war waterloo collector's edition. scourge of war waterloo cavalry. scourge of war waterloo courier. scourge of war waterloo controls. scourge of war waterloo pc game. scourge of war waterloo system requirements. scourge of war waterloo demo. scourge of war waterloo update. scourge of war waterloo ks mod. scourge of war waterloo worth buy. scourge of war waterloo skachat torrent. scourge of war waterloo sprites. scourge of war waterloo steam. scourge of war waterloo torrent. scourge of war waterloo crash. scourge of war waterloo ks mod download. scourge of war waterloo steam key. scourge of war waterloo scenarios. scourge of war waterloo video. scourge of war waterloo sandbox campaign. scourge of war waterloo tutorial. scourge of war waterloo multiplayer. scourge of war waterloo patch. how to play scourge of war waterloo Great long and really historicaly accured game and i was looking for some game like this really long time and if you are a fan of napoleonic wars like me or just you maybe just like the combat of that times this is a great game for you! - the only problem what ussually people got is that the AI is stupid and when i first played this game i tought that it will be not fun to play whit or against him but when i played some time i imagined it is not a problem because you can still enjoy the game.Some people got a problem whit that the battles are too long and it is true that you need to spend it some time but because you can save the game in middle of battle and than resume on the next day it is not that big problem.It is a great fun in multiplayer but this is not a total war where you still got some players to play whit but if you got a fried you can play whit him or if you dont you can always add someone!. The command and control in this game is so awful, so useless, so... pointless... it's like all the other developers did their job but let their 12 year old kids code the command and control system. It looks good and seems good but is not worth the hours you will spend just trying to get units to get into proper positions, let along get cavalry to charge. Totally, utterly unplayable.. A truly unique game series from the rest of the modern games available.This game takes on the tactical genre from Sid Meier's Gettysburg back in the day with all of the improvements of 20 years worth of game design. It also adds in the ability to play a subordinate commander - something that I find immensely enjoyable. There's nothing like being able to handle just one part of a combat action while the entire battlefield rages on without requiring your micromanagement skills. However, for those so inclined, you can absolutely command the whole ordeal - either micromanaging everything, or once again role-playing your spot and sending orders to AI subordinates who will carry those orders out however they deem appropriate. In my opinion, it gets you as close to the experience of commanding armies in a game as what it would feel like to a real general doing the same.. Great strategy game, very fun. Graphics don't mean everything, but this game still looks pretty nice to me. The figures are well drawn, and the battle sound effects are decent in my opinion. It's really good when you have a lot of time to kill.. I really like this game, largely because orders are carried by couriers to various leaders to have them execute orders, if they are intercepted, no orders are carried out, you can fight leading the entire army or just a regiment while the rest of the army is led by the AI.I do, however, wish that this game was bigger, I know the game is based on Waterloo, but if they had a grand campaign, like the TW series or a Paradox game, I think this battle format would be a winner!I also think it would be really nice to see an Antiquity or Medieval game use this engine, the columns of marching Redcoats remind me of Legionary Cohorts.. well im impressed by the game but disappointed in the graghics.Fast keys would have been good like m=map and the arty is pretty much useless.I would like to be able to charge the cav instead of waiting for them to attack.Overall ill keep playing it and try mp. The thunder of the Great Battery, long lines of units awaiting your command, the Highlanders forming squares, with a cannon in between to gun down your cavalry ... - This is the battle of Waterloo in all its glory on an unprecedented scale.As I am fascinated by the Napoleonic Age, this is the kind of game I was waiting for since I first played “Fields of Glory” back in the ‘90s. And it offers all the depth and historical accuracy that is missing in TW:Napoleon.Why I disagree with nearly all “negative” reviews here:- I didn’t find it hard to get into the game. All I did was playing the tutorial and after some fiddling with the commands in smaller scenarios and learning from my blunders, I got right to the grand scenario of Waterloo. Even throughout the learning phase, the game was a charming experience: as a corps commander, advancing till you hear cannon fire, then detach a unit to see what is going on and find out it is not the enemy but a friendly unit . At Ligny, seeing a huge mass of French units advancing onto you from the distance, knowing you have to hold the village at all costs – this is closer to what Napoleonic warfare must have felt like than anything I played before.- The AI system is quite good and much more realistic than in other RTS games. Wellington won’t attack but stay defensive; on the contrary, the Prussians will press you hard once they arrive at Waterloo. At some occasions, I sent my commanders forward and it was great to watch them attack the enemy “on their own”, even the officer rode back and forth all the time to encourage at every moment the unit that needed him most.- Unlike Total War, once you learn to use combined forces of artillery, cavalry and infantry, lots of interesting possibilities open up. I really spent my time with strategic gameplay instead of testing my reaction skills. At first, you may feel a bit lost because the battlefield is huge but then you can choose to micromanage a particular assault and let your commanders hold your other positions, which would be unthinkable in TW. My best moment in this respect was when I commanded a unit to attack a square manually and the AI cavalry commander assisted my charge with a flank maneuver at the precise moment the enemy had to abandon its formation to fight in melee – I had moved the cavalry close as I had planned exactly this move and the AI acted all by itself! - And, unlike stated in some reviews, cavalry can charge effectively and the units’ behavior always makes complete sense if you have some basic background knowledge on warfare of the period. (For example, it is absurd to try to make infantry charge a cavalry battalion to fight them in melee like suicidal lemmings.)- Of course, some players will still argue that the UI and graphics are outdated. The UI is not so clunky after all once you learn how to use it. One reviewer even stated that there was no WASD command, which is untrue and moving the camera around is easy, there are even more options to do so than in other comparable games. As for the graphics, I prefer to zoom out a bit to have a better overview and, at this level, the game actually looks not too different from what I am used to with TW. I close an eye on units marching into walls, as I have never seen a wargame that even tried to do animations of soldiers jumping over walls, kicking in doors etc. At some point, one has to be reasonable instead of expecting the developers to hire ten extra animators for that kind of thing.I still haven’t gone through all options of the game (like courier command system, multiplayer, sandbox campaign, all of the DLC...) but so far, it was never frustrating and always rewarding.Cons:- Outdated graphics- User interface requires some learningPros:- Huge battlefields and tons of units to command- No bugs encountered so far during battles- Focus on strategy and tactics instead of micromanaging every unit- Good AI (AI that actually works!)- Different possibilities to interact with subordinate commanders- Historical accuracy and real battlefield feeling. This game is not like Napoleon Total War especially concerning graphics. But it is a much deeper wargaming experience in its detail, scale and historical simulation. I enliken Scourge of War Waterloo with NTW in the same way I do with IL2 Sturmovik 1942 in regards to War Thunder. SoWW is deeply satisfying to play if you enjoy the grand scheme of Napoleonic line battles. It can be adapted from casual to hardcore gamestyles -- HITS, Headquarters in the Saddle, being a unique feature. Be prepared to invest time in learning the game controls as this will repay you in greater satisfaction.Now go and try your hand as Napoleon, Wellington or Blucher (or a score of other historical commanders)! (I have been playing the game since its release in June, 2015.)
