Our take on Fields of Glory
Instead of using turn-based planning or long-term empire management, this strategy game centers on immediate command during Napoleonic battles. Its structure emphasizes time-limited battlefield decisions across close and wide tactical views.
What is Fields of Glory?
Fields of Glory is a historical real-time strategy game covering Napoleon’s 1815 campaign at Waterloo.
Players direct French, Anglo-Allied, or Prussian armies across engagements that include smaller clashes and major actions at Waterloo and Ligny. Combat can be viewed from detailed battlefield perspectives or from broader strategic angles. A point-and-click system is used to give commands as fighting unfolds under a time limit.
