At Paradox's annual showcase in Stockholm, Sweden, the company revealed a new title for the PC called Napoleon’s Campaigns II, which will be released in Q4 2012.

Napoleon's Campaigns II is the heir of the original Napoleon's Campaign. In the game you'll be able play an historical scenario covering the whole of the Napoleonic Wars, ten years of conflict in Europe and the rest of the world between 1805 and 1815.

 
Features include the production of units, diplomacy with other nations (minor and major), army and fleet management, and the quest for becoming the dominant power of Europe, the goal of every major nation involved.

In addition, the French will have to satisfy the ‘Napoleonic Glory’ goal, a concept rendering the dynastic appetite of the Emperor. Napoleon’s Campaigns II will include the largest Napoleonic Europe map created, along with a multiplayer mode for up to 8 players.

Napoleon’s Campaigns II will be released exclusively for the PC in Q4 2012.

Hopefully not as overwhelming as "Sengoku" the machinations of the period are enough to interest me.

It's AGEOD (now Paradox France) they've done games like Pride of Nations, Rise of Prussia... conceptually they are a lot more complex and harder to get into that internal titles like Sengoku, Victoria II etc...

However, this specific game is using the Crusader Kings II engine, so I reckon that will make it immensely more accessible than their previous titles. Almost like a Napoleon-era Hearts of Iron.

That's good to hear, JC. I have Aegod's "Birth of America" and "The Blue and The Grey". The later was a very steep learning curve for me and the bugged tutorials (all text-based with loads of reading) did not help. The engine ran like a dog as well even on a good PC.
I'll put this on my watchlist and await the review.
