Can our MC achieve fame of one of the greatest military commander in history? Like if our MC get the best stats traits get all the glory and victories can our fame rival even Napoleon or at least close to it or we’re just going to be the most known of the marshals ? ---

Even now, the question of “who is the greatest military commander ever to live?” is a subjective one - but there absolutely will be a possibility in which your MC can be mentioned in the same breath of Napoleon. Whether your name is mentioned before his, figuratively speaking, is up to you, and will depend on whoever’s speaking. ---

But DLCs are far off on the horizon. I gotta get the base game out first. That being said, I _do_ have a plan for them, and it’ll fill in almost all of the gaps I’ve left for the sake of keeping the scope of this project reasonable. ---

This is all tentative, but my main goals are to cover the gaps which the base story leaves. That includes things like the War in the Vendée, the multiple conspiracies and assassination attempts against Napoleon during the Consulate, the War of the Fifth Coalition and the first half of the Peninsular War. I’m also planning (if I can) to do an expansion where your MC might end up elected heir to the Kingdom of Sweden, rather than Bernadotte. I have long since given up trying to figure out how many words a project is going to be. The base game will easily top a million (I am at about 940k right now) and I don’t know how much more I’ll need. ---

Also, of course, DLC has to compete for writing time with two CoG projects and any other ideas Cataphrak has. ---

Obviously you must compensate by now writing _Dragoon Saga_ DLCs. Further DLCs for Kendrickstone will be discussed at a later time by your local takaran representative. ---

I’ve been reading your blogs and I’m pretty curious about what you think of Napoleon himself. I always think that Napoleon is a badass guy albeit with questionable moral but ultimately a great general but reading your blog and searching more about him definitely change my opinion a bit. Do you think that he’s actually a great general or just a petty guy that only won because of his luck, initiative and his subordinates or he’s just a human who is capable of great things but have flaws that at the end lead to his downfall.
