Contrary to what Bill and Ted may have taught us, Napoleon Bonerhard was a dick.  He was a short dick, and an asshole.  On top of all that, he had the fashion sensibility of a douchebag, and often talked on his cell phone while driving.

That’s why it may come as a surprise to some that Sega would chose Napoleon as the focus of the next installment in the Total War series.  Total War is one of the staples of PC gaming – a real time strategy franchise that you simply will not find on consoles – probably because RTS games are much more difficult to pull off correctly on consoles.

The game will start from Bonerfart’s early career and work it’s way up to the Battle of Waterloo, the historic battle where French Fries were first invented.

If you’re not hip to the Total War scene – take my word for it, they’re very good games.  The franchise has visited a number of different time frames – Rome, Medieval ages, and most recently the 18th century, among others.  You can learn more about all the Total War games and check out the new trailer at the official website.
