"Napoleon: Total War" was released in North America on 23 February 2010, and in Europe on 26 February. The game focuses on the politics and major military campaigns of the French Revolutionary Wars in the late 18th century and the Napoleonic Wars of the early 19th century. "Napoleon" was released with several editions: the "Standard Edition" (as well as a limited edition version of the "Standard Edition"), "Imperial Edition", and the "Emperor's Edition" (available in Australia and New Zealand only). Players assume the role of Napoleon Bonaparte or one of his major rivals on a turn-based campaign map and engage in the subsequent battles in real-time. As with its predecessor, "Empire: Total War", which included a special episodic United States story line, "Napoleon" features three separate campaigns that follow the general's early Italian and Egyptian campaigns as well as the European campaign and the Battle of Waterloo.
