Matrix Games Forums

I hope in a near future, Matrix woult take this project in mind... this game was fantastic, for me the best napoleonic wargame till the moment, but due to a lot of bugs unplayable...

Please retake it!!

I own that game, it was a very good simulation. I agree it would be nice to see it Matrixed!

Yeah, I agree

Good game...

[X(] Please tell me you guys are joking... Napoleon 1813 is the biggest POS I've ever installed on my PC under the misapprehension it was some sort of wargame. Complete and utter garbage that made the appalling 'Fields of Glory' look like a masterpiece.

I still remember my experience with it. First game, won easily without knowing half the rules (you know, regarding how to recruit more troops, that sort of stuff). Pumped up the difficulty level to max. Won second game easily as well (still knowing nothing about how to recruit troops), after watching the AI do nothing the whole game except move one Corps back and forth between two cities. Sadly my memory is not adequate to remember which cities. Third game, won easily. Uninstalled and forgotten. Which is exactly what Matrix should do regarding any suggestion of digging up the corpse.

There is a player made rebuild of the game on open forge or open source or something like that. It made it much more playable.

Hertson... one thing is the AI and the bugs and other thing completly different is the ideas of a wargame. Napoleon 1813 is in my opinion the most realistic operational wargame of this era and without discussion (I have ALL napoleonic wargames made).

Only aplying a decent AI, PEBM and free of bugs and you will have a masterpiece. Tactical battles can also be improved.

I also agree. 1813 was a great game but full of bugs. The biggest deception of my gamer life. I hope to play it again some days...

Were you a frequent poster (or mod?) on the Napoleon 1813 forum when the game was released, Mario? Your name seems vaguely familiar in connection with it.

True Herston. You have a good memory I see.

I was a big disappoint fan. On paper, this game was supposed to be a master piece. But in reality, the editor, Empire Interactive, did not agree to pay the designer, Steven Green, more money to complete the game. Green was working for more the 2 years on that project and E.I. did not see the end of it in a near future because the game was to big and to full of bugs. So they stop the support shamefully .

That was cute or what ?

I have written to Matrix that this oportunity should be studied ... with only a few work on it they would have a fantastic game and with a lot of opportunities to have more campaigns once they get a decent motor without bugs (1812, 1809, 1806, 1805, 1815, Spain.....).

For me it was the biggest deception too, to have the best wargame ever in my hands and couldn´t play because of bugs and without PEBM tool.

To bad the game never worked out. It does "look" nice. 

I think it would be cool to get this "Matrixed"

Open-source project....

Please Matrix .... [&o][:D]

Believe this was one of the first strategy games with tactic battle resolution. It had so much potential.

Still does...

I remember lots of people complaining about stability when it was released, but after I got the first patch, i found it pretty stable. The problem for me was the AI.

If the AI could be fixed, and you could add IP play, this would be a great one.

I have it. If this were redone and updated, it would be great.

I still wish there had been a "Tin Soldiers: Napoleon" as well.

Never tried it.......but we have COG:EE coming soon from Matrix.

Never tried it.......but we have COG:EE coming soon from Matrix.

I've never tried it either,but after playing Forge of Freedom and looking at the COG:EE discussions, it will be a first day purchase for me. Love the idea of tactical naval battles.

Now if I only knew something of the era.....
