You play SOW to immerse yourself in a simulation.

The Total War games are all graphics and simple gameplay, paying little attention to historical accuracy. SOW is a tactical battle simulation that strives to re-create history as accurately as possible (just ask the US Army who uses our game for training).

They even want to include the nonsense dog unit and the burning pig unit I saw some pictures of RTW2, the terrain graphics look excellent, but I wonder if the gameplay will be really an improvement. Generals have a bodyguard unit (heavy cavalry) and can join the fight, this makes sense in RTW, but in NTW era?ДЄlso the game slows down when zoomed in on my PC, so you have to zoom out to play fluidly, but what are the good graphics good for then? There is no fog of war, just close in and fight it out. IIRC if units are flanked they shoot at the new threat but do not change their facing. Infantry runs out of ammo already after 20min. Artillery shoots into elevated ground when the enemy is behind the elevation and doesn't care. Artillery is firing into their own troops and doesn't care. In Tactical battles, the soldiers look gorgeous, but gameplay is rather stupid. The Campaign mode looks good, but the AI behaves irrational, shuffles around tiny units from A to B and from B to A without any other meaning than to slow down the AI's turn.

I must admit I haven't tested any NTW mods yet to see if there is an improvement. I played RTW and MTW2 before (IMHO RTW was the best of these and the engine is best suited for that era). Recently I gave Napoleon Total War another go, but I got bored again after about 3h.
