Overview on Nation Strengths

[@melikechoc0]

This is literally my go-to video for teaching people Napoleon Total War. You are literally the only one who did a run through of each nation's strengths and weaknesses in MULTIPLAYER. That is what is important. Everyone only does campaign guides.

[@Pan_Z]

[@mikemac1298]

Could you do an updated guide with the newest units? ty

[@Aquatus08]

You have no idea how much you've helped me dude, I just got napoleon total war so I was lost in what units were better or worse, and or how to find my playstyle, thank you so much

[@TWReplays]

@@Aquatus08 cool. You might try the NTW Community discord. It has some of the remaining active players.

[@Lumin24]

This was a very helpful video

[@TWReplays]

@poort1710 You can use any play style you want....this is just a recommendation

[@miguelalvarez5269]

Thank you for the whole playlist for beginners! It is the best and most complete tutorial for Napoleon I know. I watched it twice and I recommend it to every noob I fight against. You just make me love this game in his depth. I would be glad if we coincide in some battle.

[@TWReplays]

cool dude, have fun out there

[@dustindubbo2892]

Playing the Darthmod as the Papal States to recreate Roman Empire; only major problem is I don’t have access to horse artillery; and all the specialty units are like 12 units of light infantry.

[@sirpasta4927]

Can you please make an updated video with the new meta? (4 lights rather than 5, and max 3 swords)

[@EnderGraff1]

I don't even play this game and it's been 8 years. Yet here I am.

[@TWReplays]

If you want to feel really old you could watch the 10 year update: kzbin.info/www/bejne/haSUip6aj7-emNU Go buy a sports car or something.

[@thomasatkinson7319]

Just a suggestion but Jaeger is pronounced YAYGER not JAGGER just fro future videos.

[@TWReplays]

That's kind of a (bad) joke, like calling Dragoons "dragons". It developed from having a couple dozen guys speaking a couple dozen languages all in the same clan, each mispronouncing words according to their accent/language.

[@bezukaking6860]

you do realize what the Austrian Windbusche Jaegers can do right?

[@bezukaking6860]

the grenzers are interesting in empire

[@css3926]

They are called Jäger for English guys = Yager

[@julius6889]

[@oogahboogah3087]

Young guard makes the units (friendly) around them tougher to kill

[@genericusername1993]

doesn't the old guard do the same?

[@jamiengo2343]

If he related to navies, he would basically say "Britain's the best they have the best naval units don't bother with the rest of the countries just play as Britain"

[@brainwasher9876]

that really is the truth. I have no idea what CA was thinking when they balanced navy. Britain's got the best ships AND they're cheaper. Unless you want to use that Santi Trinidad, I guess, or for some reason want to try out the portuguese 86-gunners.

[@jamiengo2343]

Andrew Wang to be fair, Britain was the dominant navy in the period so hey, realistic but still.

[@brainwasher9876]

it's one of the instances where I'd happily sacrifice realism for more interesting gameplay.

[@j.anderson00]

I've actually beaten France with the Dutch before...

[@The_Last_Norman]

My main build (singleplayer) for Prussia is; 6 line infantry split in 2 groups of 3, 4 fusiliers/2 beside each line to counter calvary and support, 2 Jagers either side to cover fusiliers and also skirmish, 3 calvary (of any) to aid all/flank and take out artillery, 2 horse drawn cannons/1 for each line, 2 rockets to harass and cripple morale.

[@EmperorsOfWar]

@TWReplays But denmark does have the Riflmen along with a guard troop so they are better than most minor nations. Besides the aspect of cav.

[@NotFinnish]

Russian militia: 19 charge bonus Russian light cavalry: 16 charge bonus :O

[@ruskibeaner5983]

I was so surprised by him not mentioning Russian inf's stupid charge bonuses

[@Nikit4445]

@@ruskibeaner5983 Charge bonus is nothing, while other nations have better accuracy, reload speed, morale (every fucking stat) on every counterpart unit. So yea, Russia in this game is garbage.

[@ruskibeaner5983]

@@Nikit4445 I don't think you know what you're talking about. Russian guards are op because they have the melee, charge bonus, and accuracy. Russia's cav is one of the best in game cuz of their good shooter cav and lancers. Charge bonus by itself is and insane stat. If russian muskets hit u with a charge and u don't square, ur screwed. That's also the reason why lancers are the cab unit to bring if the nation doesn't have shooter cav. All of this is why in top games u never see a russia vs prussia match up, because russia steamrolls prussia. Russia is a popular counter to france, which is also considered the best nation in game (the other counter to france is sweden cuz shooter cav).

[@paulfrancistorres7144]

Why no artillery?

[@TWReplays]

Most games are played with the rule "No artillery, max of 5 light infantry"

[@jacobgriffiths5261]

i can't imagine using an ottoman army without 6 cav

[@placeholder8768]

jacob griffiths Mamelukes op

[@SliptreamSaint]

Strange, most online builds don't have funds this high. Most builds have 1-2 artillery, 4-5 light inf (many use 125 units), 4 cav, and the rest inf (6-9ish). No fixed art, no unicorns etc.

[@horrendouss5960]

Why do you have more units in custom what version is your ntw

@PowerfulOz1 Historically yes, but in terms of this game they are decidedly not as strong as the other three.

[@Django27uk]

Good vid. This is well timed. I've just started a thread on twc discussing the strengths and weaknesses of the 'minor' nations. Hope you get a chance to look at it.

[@ViktorEnns]

great work! thank you! could you please put your builds for at least the 3 main nations into the description for quick reference?

[@sirfanatical8763]

What do you say about artillery? I used it a lot in ETW and destroyed everything but you didn't even mention it in your NTW video. Is it bad in that game?

[@tonythatorc971]

This is a reply he made to a comment made by a guy that asked why no artillery and this was TWReplay's response. (It's somewhere in the comment section.) TWReplays 4 years ago Most 'serious' players viewed artillery as imbalanced. It encouraged camping, has unlimited ammunition and results in uninteresting game play where both players would just sit and shoot cannon at each other. The same was true of light infantry in a way. As a result, most 'serious' players adopted a rule set of "No artillery and a maximum of 5 light infantry". It was the most common way to play the game at higher levels.

[@tovarishchsimonov289]

Russia would be a major nation in this game if it werent for those Unicorn bans

[@aidenmiller3189]

Ottoman heavy calv don’t have lancer stats. They have a heavy calv emblem in the game to back that up

[@historywithtedpayne5918]

My rule was always no art no li. I never liked how guys would just throw on li but hate on the art units. Napoleon was an art officer and the art units were designed to make or break battles.

[@somerandomdude5461]

Ok just a little quick question. If i have a unit which has a accuracy of 50 would that mean if i have 240 men only 120 will actually hit a target or targets?????

[@TWReplays]

@thehallowedelegy This is probably true. Denmark has no real identity. With UN you can at least put together a cogent army.

[@lawrence2992]

Why are you saying that Swedens jagers that have an accuracy of 125 are ass?

[@grandstrategos1144]

The problem is that slight increase in range. Jaegers are more optimal for harassing units, with paper defense but excellent range. Due to this, jaegers demand attention; leave them alone for too long and enemy li/infantry get a shot in and deal damage. So though jaegers are good at range, they demand a ton of micro to ensure you are shooting the enemy but the enemy is not shooting youZ

[@PowerfulOz1]

Russia and Austria are major nations as well

[@ezrasilverburg1749]

Azzar is the best unit in the game

[@newtype4698]

Well this is guide tells "How to win a game spamming Cavs". But if you have a strong enemy on a mountain, you do nothing with all those Cavs. Spamm armies and spam players are the worst.

[@grandstrategos1144]

Generally, most NTW battles are fought on flat ground maps; I have seen very few fought on terrain that have an extreme inherent advantage to one side. 6 units of anything is not spam. Spam is when the mass majority of you army is the same unit. So no these armies are not spam. You could argue that he could branch into all of the units. The problem is that some of these units are not cost effective, so they are not worth bringing to the field at all.
