Hehe mine definitely is, Great Britain just conquered Spain, and have already conquered France, driving Napoleon into the Alps to recover....

i don't know why you dislike Napoleon? for me he's a revolution hero and can scares an oppressing clan of Bourbons.
Also another campaign that needs to be tie in with ANY Napoleonic wars is the war between the USA and Great Britain. remember the 1812?

I don't think he dislikes Napoleon on a personal level but if he's playing Great Britain in Napoleon Total War then he is against Napoleon...
As it is most British people have some knowledge of Napoleon as a bad guy, which considering the circumstances is fair.

EDIT: Ninja-ed! *Shakes fist*

1. By that time. does the british also believes that France is better ruled over by either Bourbons. or goons sent by Roman Catholic Church right? What else did they fear that either Napoleon or the Republic regime can do? do they really fear that France that doesn't ruled over by Bourbons will incite revolts in Ireland ?
2. in EE2 there's another trivial detail. a mecha unit ( the HERC )is named after ones in Earthsiege/Starsiege series.

Probably more to do with them being a seemingly small island and so close to it. They spent so long amassing an empire, but with the right timing and building of his own forces he could have posed a threat to them. May not have posed a threat to the empire as a whole, but could possibly have loosened the grip the monarchy had.

But, that's just my guess on it all.

Very little of this makes sense grammatically....

And yes, Britain was scared of Napoleon, as he was creating an Empire larger than ours all of 26 miles from our home countries' coastline....what did you expect to happen? Our ruling classes were also worried about the effect the Revolution would have on the elite... etc. etc. etc. theres a whole lot of history that quite frankly doesnt feature in the game or in my post.

if you want to rage about the British and Napoleon go somewhere else and do it please.
