Napoleon Bonaparte

Napoleon was born in 1769 to a well-to-do Corsican family. His native language was Italian and an Italian accent flavored his French. Contrary to popular misconception, Napoleon was not short by the standards of the era. In fact, he was slightly taller than most men of his time at about 5 feet 7 inches. Napoleon was not always a successful student, but he had a tremendous ability to understand and memorize military information. He made good use of his outstanding memory and became known as one of the most brilliant military strategists of all time; at one point he controlled almost all of Central and Western Europe. Despite his military brilliance, Napoleon is almost as well known for his spectacular military mistakes. At Waterloo he made several tactical errors, including making movements without notifying his allies, that led to his ultimate defeat. In Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition, you can expect to see Napoleon's ambitious nature reflected in how he plays. He is a great military strategist who prefers to play offensively rather than defensively. Napoleon is not friendly with the British and may hesitate to cooperate with them. He likes to be in control and does not appreciate direction from anyone else.
