built 234 days ago
After the Russia incident Napoleon's empire fell apart. England, Russia, Prussia, and Austria allied together to fight the French. Napoleon did not win many victories against them. In a three-day battle at Leipzig... known as the Battle of the Nations, the French were outnumbered in every way. The French had to retreat. Then on March 30, 1814 the allies captured Paris. Even Napoleon's generals realized it was a lost fight and gave up.

Napoleon made a surprise return to France on March 1, 1815. His former troops joined him and he again became ruler of France for a length of 100 days. Napoleon was defeated at the Battle of Waterloo, which was his last battle. Napoleon was captured in Waterloo and taken to his second exile on the island of Saint Helena.
While Napoleon exhorts the other animals to fight and die for the good of the farm, he himself is a coward, in contrast to Snowball. Nonetheless, Napoleon's historical revisionism rewrites himself as a hero, claiming responsibility for the animal's victory during the Battle of the Cowshed when in reality it was Snowball who had performed heroic acts in this battle.

The game will react to each player's successes and failures, impressively simulating the momentum that can overcome an artillery unit after a successful charge--or the plummeting morale of a unit that's taken an especially hard hit."
