*Kings of Emperor Bonaparte* brings an interesting concept to the table with its persistent online wargame set during the Napoleonic Wars. The idea of players engaging in a dynamic, 24/7 war, with each skirmish influencing the overall campaign, is exciting. Set in Northern Italy's Alessandria, players can choose to fight for the French Empire or the Coalition forces, offering a real sense of historical immersion. The game promises to expand in the future, covering more of the Napoleonic campaign, which could make it even more compelling.

However, the game is still in its early stages, and that shows. The core mechanics, particularly around unit movement and AI, need substantial improvement. Units can often ignore orders or even move in bizarre, unexpected ways, which can make controlling them frustrating. The slow rotation and lack of direction indicators for units further complicate the strategic elements. This all makes it clear that the game is a bit rough around the edges right now.

Despite these issues, *Kings of Emperor Bonaparte* has the foundation for something great. The idea of a persistent online battlefield has potential for real strategic depth, similar to games like *Europa Universalis* or *Hearts of Iron*. If the developer continues to polish the game, addressing the bugs and adding more content—like new factions, maps, and additional units—it could become a standout in the wargame genre.

Right now, it’s definitely a game for those who can look past its current limitations and see the potential for what it could be in the future. With updates and more time in development, *Kings of Emperor Bonaparte* could evolve into a truly engaging and unique historical wargame.
