Crown of Glory: Emperor’s Edition Gets a Major Update
Great new documentation and dozens of fixes and improvements come with
the first update
As for the hefty list of bug fixes, the most notable item resolved is
the mouse lag experienced by some in certain parts of the interface.
In addition, the update includes improvements to the AI for both the
strategic and tactical portions of the game, several significant
improvements to the overall interface, and two dozen “fine tune” rule
changes to enhance historical accuracy.
David Heath, Director of Operations at Matrix Games, said “Crown of
Glory: Emperor’s Edition is an absolutely must-have for any fans of
the Napoleonic genre. The first Crown of Glory made a mark when it was
released, but Emperor’s Edition takes us to a whole new level of
Napoleonic strategy! If you tried the original Crown of Glory, there
is still an upgrade discount available for the Emperor’s Edition. If
you haven’t tried it, the stand-alone Emperor’s Edition is an
excellent time to get on board and see if your inner Napoleon is up to
the challenge.”
Two centuries ago, Europe was in the midst of one of the most gripping
periods in human history. It was an era that saw cobblers become
princes and emperors become exiles, an age of legendary diplomats and
brilliant tacticians. Listen to the roll of the drum, the call of the
bugle, and see the banners unfurled above the divisions and corps.
Wide-eyed recruits march next to battle-scarred veterans, sabers
clatter alongside the bags of grapeshot, the wheels of hundreds of
caissons rattle, as generals plan and diplomats plot, and all of
Europe grasps with desperate hands for… The Crown Of Glory.
This new Emperor’s Edition is a stand-alone sequel to the acclaimed
Crown of Glory and improves on the original in every area, immersing
the player in the epic events of the Napoleonic era. A beautiful
strategic map with more than 200 provinces covers all of Europe and
North Africa, with scenarios and campaigns from 1792 up to 1820.
Stronger AI, a streamlined interface and a new simplified economic
model to allow players to focus on the aspects of the game they most
enjoy. Players take the role of one of the crowned potentates of any
of the eight Major powers as well as having the option to play as a
minor power such as Poland, Denmark or Portugal.
A turn-based structure allows you to play at your own pace, deciding
on the military, diplomatic, economic and social paths of your nation,
including treaties, trade routes and levying and supplying military
units. While your armies march across a worldwide map with monthly
turns, detailed land and naval battles allow you to play at a smaller
scale, where your brigades, divisions and ships can be commanded with
historical tactics. All battles can be resolved quickly or fought out
on a detailed battlefield map.
The eight major powers (France, Britain, Austria, Prussia, Russia,
Turkey, Spain, and Sweden) and over ninety computer-controlled minor
nations are modeled in rich historical detail. Every effort has been
made to bring you as thorough a simulation of the Napoleonic Era as is
possible, from the dockyards of Lisbon to the frozen wastes of Holy
Mother Russia.
Historical leaders, special abilities, fleets, upgrades,
reinforcements, colonialism, guard units and over 100 historical
events, give Crown Of Glory: Emperor's Edition a unique and engrossing
style. Combining Strategy and Tactics in one design, Crown Of Glory:
Emperor's Edition offers you an opportunity to test your strength in
an age of legends.
The update is comprehensive and will bring of all previous versions of
Crown of Glory: Emperor’s Edition up to v1.0.9. Get more information
