L'Empereur

DOS - 1991
Also available on: FM Towns - MSX - PC-88 - PC-98 - Sharp X68000

An ambitious game that chronicles the life of Napoleon Bonaparte from his days as army commander to the ruler of empire, L'Empereur is a solid strategy game that simplifies many of RTK's statistics and tactical-level commands in favor of more strategic-level diplomatic commands to fit the era.

In an interesting twist to the by-now-familiar RTK engine, a set of new commands will replace the old once Napoleon crowned himself Emperor of France.

does *anyone* have a manual in english for the computer versions of this? All that seems to be out there is the NES manual, which *isn't* always applicable to this version

I was working shopping mall software retail at the time and sold the hell out of this & Warlords. Packaging so sexy that I actually bought this one vs having a "testing" copy.

Hi,I was wondering if there is someone who would know how to change that editor. What I ment is that we can add more officers in the game, that we can in editor add more new officers

How do you beat this game? I cannot even win the first battle due to the fact that enemy is outnumbered.
