Today we’re sharing our first Devlog for Veterans: Napoleonic Wars, featuring the Battle of Montenotte from Napoleon’s early Italian campaign. It offers a glimpse of how battles unfold in the game, with armies maneuvering across varied terrain while relying on formations, positioning, and timing to gain the upper hand.
French forces push against Austrian troops across hills, farmland, and villages under foggy April weather conditions. Terrain, visibility, and well-timed flanking movements all play a role in shaping the course of the engagement and determining how quickly the momentum of a battle can change.
The footage also highlights smaller infantry formations known as platoons (pelotons), which serve as the building blocks of larger formations on the battlefield. We’ll be sharing more details about formations and battlefield command in future dev blogs.
We hope you like this first look at the battlefield. More devlogs are coming soon!
