The net of alliances arranged prior to any battle now involved the whole continent for the first time and every fighting country was involved in the war effort like never before (thanks to the introduction of Conscription, Napoleon claimed he could afford up to 30,000 casualties per month). War was now considered from a global point of view, involving not only great contingents of soldiers but also powerful navies. War was no longer an isolated phenomenon in which both sides faced each other in remote scenarios.

Defeat could mean the fall of an entire country under the enemy's boot victory, supremacy over the continent. Wellington himself greatly respected the Corsican's ability to command an army, likening it to having an additional force of 40,000 men on the battlefield.īattles during these times were the culmination of political conflicts, in which everything could depend on the turn of one card. Some of the most famous generals in military history are of these times and Napoleon stands out above all others. Moreover, as Napoleon said, "In war, as in love, we must come into contact.". Machine guns, planes and rockets transformed war into a situation where the contenders never face each other.

Since then, military technology has progressed in such a way that fighting takes place at a distance. The end of the heroic wars "One minute can decide the outcome of the battle, one hour - the outcome of the campaign, and one day - the fate of the country" - Field Marshal Suvorov In my personal opinion, the Napoleonic wars were the last example of the heroic wars, where a soldier's determination and the strength of his arm could decide the outcome of the battle. A sense of liberty and patriotism was etched deeply into these events and thousands of men gave their lives for their ideals. Throughout these years, Europe witnessed battles, wars and coalitions never before seen. From that date and until the end of the Napoleonic wars the world evolved dramatically, finally to reach the contemporary era. The game begins in July 1789 with the storming of the Bastille, symbol of the Monarchy's oppression. A glorious time "You must not fear death defy him, and you drive him into the enemy's ranks." - Napoleon Bonaparte Imperial Glory takes place during a time of great turmoil across the world.

First, we'll take a look at the characteristics of the era in which it takes place. In this and subsequent issues of the diary, we will attempt to explain different aspects of the game. At the moment, we're in the final stages of the project, polishing the last remaining aspects of the game to ensure that it meets the standards of quality that we intend. I'm Álvaro Vázquez and I'm a member of the design team. Welcome to Imperial Glory's Development Diary.
