When two armies meet, the game descends into a real-time battle mode. The player moves armies around and manages cities on a turn-based campaign map. Like other games in the series, the gameplay features a mixture of Turn-Based Strategy and Real-Time Strategy. The 'historical battles' mode allows the player to recreate such conflicts as Arcole, the Battle of The Pyramids, Austerlitz, Borodino and Waterloo. Scenarios include the Italian campaigns of 1796-97, Napoleon's invasion of Egypt and the Wars of the Coalition after Napoleon's self-coronation as Emperor, with the Peninsular Campaign added as a DLC. The player may control Napoleon's armies and lead them to victory, or side with his enemies and help check the French advance. Unlike other Total War games, the single player mode is not centred around one particular grand campaign, but around a number of smaller ones. Somewhere between an immediate sequel and stand-alone expansion to Empire: Total War, this entry in the series follows the military campaigns of Napoléon Bonaparte around the turn of the 19th century.

Napoleon: Total War is a 2010 strategy game in the Total War series.
