Imperial Glory is a real-time tactics game, developed by Pyro Studios and published by Eidos, that was released to the public in May 2005. The Mac OS Xversion of the game was released in November 2006 by Feral Interactive.[1]
Imperial Glory is set in the Revolutionary and Napoleonic era, between 1789 and 1815, and allows the player to choose one of the great empires of the age–Great Britain, France, Austria, Russia or Prussia–on their quest of conquering Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. The game is very similar to the Total War series: it consists of a 2-D strategic campaign resemblingMedieval: Total War and Shogun: Total War and fully 3-D land and navalbattles in the manner of Empire: Total War, which was released in 2009. However, unlike the Total War series up to Empire: Total War, naval battles are playable.
The basic units available to the player are the same, regardless of the nation the player controls, namely, infantry, cavalry and artillery. By seizing appropriate provinces, a player may deploy other units, such as Arabian camel cavalry. The principal units (infantry, cavalry, artillery) are identical to those in the Total War series.
Infantry in Imperial Glory are represented as militia, line infantry, light infantry,grenadiers, riflemen and the player's country's elite force (e.g. British Black Watch). Cavalry consists of dragoons, hussars, lancers and an elite cavalry type (such as Life Guards for Britain), and it is possible to find such contemporary pieces of artillery as 6-pounder cannons and howitzers.
In the campaign phase of the game, units are moved around the map by assigning them to a commander. Commanders bear the ranks of captain, colonel, general or field marshal. Each can command a certain number of units and be promoted to a higher rank by winning encounters with enemy units.
During naval battles, players can engage the enemy with various ships: sloops, frigates or ships of the line.
