Earlier this year, The Creative Assembly released Empire: Total War, which took the historical RTS series into the 18th century up to the US Revolutionary War. Now the developer is moving up the timeline slightly with their next release in the series, Napoleon: Total War.

This time you are not some nameless controller of units. You control one of the most famous generals in history. The game spans two decades of Napoleon's life in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, ending at the famous Battle of Waterloo. The game will have the single player campaigns along with Steam achievements, a uniform editor and more. The game's publisher Sega will ship the game to stores in February 2010.
