How to capture a ship in Napoleon total war

When you want to capture a ship in total war you must Keep two things in mind:

First. your capturer ship must have more troops than the target.

Second. You must kill and lower they number but don't damage the ship as much as possible. For that you need to pin the enemy then use grape shots from close distance to kill the soldiers and sailors.

It is better to destroy the sail first to lower it's speed so you can catch them in case they run. If you want to know how to pin a ship click HERE.

Pinning the enemy ships

Destroying the sails will pin the enemies and reduces their maneuverability greatly. They become sitting docks and you can hit them from the front where they can't return fire and like that you can capture a large ship with a small one. But it requires some patience and focus.

If you aim the enemy sails when they are in the full sail mode, it will have more effect. Just stay far to pin the ship.

How to think in the sea Napoleon total war

 In Napoleon total war every time you see a weak naval army attack just to capture some ships. It takes 4 or 5 turn to built good ships in Napoleon total war so this is more economic to capture than to build the ships . Use them to destroy your oposite navies. You keep the cost in your pocket and will not worry about losing ships when you learnt this business.

According to my spies in the Great Britain they are building a navy in England. Here in the picture you can see that they also are raiding my trade lines in the sea. They are taking the goods for England.

 Here is the naval battle screen. You can chose to fight with or let it solve automatically. You can run away by chose the white banner . If you chose the white banner your troops go a long distance away from the battle. some times I use this running away to flee the enemy before they attack me.

I've lost two small ships which I captured earlier in the game. Gained 1 big 50 guns ship and sinked one of their battle ships.

After that i sent my forces for repair near to this line and another navy is raiding the English trade lines.

If you do not have a plan you can see what is my plan by clicking HERE.


But if you want to improvise, you need to have some thing is mind.


1 money: cash flow in this game is important you need loads of money you can gain money in various ways in Napoleon total war. You need to balance your budget and have some money left to construct buildings and upgrade them.

2 territory: one of the ways that gives you power is territorial expansion you need to think of ways to expand quickly.

3 Troops: you need troops in every front you open. You need troops in your home front as well because as France if Paris is fallen you will have a difficult time. You also need to balance your navy and army because you can only support a limited amount of troops.

4 characters: There are various characters in Napoleon total war like spies, gentlemen, governors and generals.

Spy missions in Napoleon total war

Hi . i want to write and describe about Spies in Napoleon total war . As you Know when a spy is in low rank chance to defeat is more than when he got experience.

So it is wise to send spies with gentlemen to a hostile or target city to create unrest. the spy will sabotage and the gentleman will create unrest.  If the spy doesn't stay in the city too much it is better . Of course you must built so many inns to recurit spies as much as you want. When you have a new spy and its Rank is 3 stars or less it is advisable to first infiltrate and then wait for the establishment of the spy ring and then sabotage. The chance of a successful sabotage is more if there is a spy ring. This will lead to your spy get more experience and good traits. If they find out who is he then change his place to the nearest target. If he is a very bad spy ( some spies perform poorly by default) just give him something he can't do and keep him in the same city to get rid of him. Next spy will have a chance to have better traits than the last one.

Never forget that first infiltrate because the risk of losing a good spy is not your winning plan in Napoleon total war.

In the picture above you see the unrest of lower classes are controlled by army so in the next turn after the spy ring is ready , to sabotage the army is a good solution to bring some unrest to Prussia.

Donate to the nations who dislike you in NapoleonTotal war

Donate the rest of your remaining money by the end of the turn in Napoleon total war.  You are not going to conquer all of the land but you need their Opinion towards your government to be positive. Act quickly and just donate ! Donate your money to them they would be thankful to you in the long run. But do not help nations that they are more powerful and bigger than you such as Spain or England (GB)  Or Austria empire. As rivals they would not like to support you because you are a rival. Small money also means a lot to small nations. By doing this you will have to worry less about many fronts you have to fight if you do otherwise.

Preparing as planned in the ex-posts

In napoleon total war witch technology must researched first

The best option is National Debt research . It decreases the Upkeep for your Army units and also increases the all of town wealths by five points . also it doesnt have any unrest after it and in the first turns it is better to avoid the research those would make unrest in the nation . and just get people ready to pay more taxes until you built the basics .


National debt is money owed by any level of government.  By contrast, annual government deficit refers to the difference between government receipts and spending in a single year. Debt of a sovereign government is called sovereign debt.

The strategy for Napoleon total war in the first turn on Europe map

As you see the diplomatic relation in the picture you can progress on the trade with the Ottoman empire and start to improve your relations with them to make benefit and also you would protect your trade roots and in the same time you are raiding the English trade lines . as you see there are so many minor nations including the Denmark , Hessen and with 250 payment you can have a trade agreement with Portugal . But beware as you raiding English and Ottoman trade lines the England will raid yours so you have to fight back in the north and also make ottomans to embargo them for a short time and satisfy them with gold or other interest . if they are green with you there is no chance for England to turn them hostile easy and by continue this politics you can destroy the England trade income in the long time

first turn in Napoleon total war the army and economy

I was wrong to take my army to the city i would took them to the port
they are suffering from loses . it were until 3 turns after this . but keep your army out side will help you to use the maximum power of the city . in this case you must have a good people order .




i wouldn't do that but it is better to decrease your army until the national debt  research is finished . it takes 4 turns . after that you may start the construction of th university in France . so better to develop you economy by lowering taxes 1 army is enough in middle Europe but as you know it is too hard to loose such a game . you may say the price of unit is more than upkeep so you just count a several turns upkeep and also the benefit of construction until the last turn. so you can count the profit

as the plan it is a wise decision to blockade the trade roots

so moving navy from Portugal coast to north to England is a wise decision and in the Mediteranate sea also you would blockade the trade roots of England as well as you blockading the Naples and Sicily .

the trainer for strategy Napoleon total war

Here is a plan for Napoleon total war . to win the very hard camping at the first time.

On the Europa camping it is the first picture you see

As you see all of the world are against you but you have your people.

That's Better for you to let Austrian Army take the Bavaria and Wuttemburg and do not care about their cries . Because you are going to make them your own protectorates .so they will support you as you grown in the game . Your first objective is to destroy the Austrian army after they pinned in Wuttemburg and take the Vienna . also you must take the south seas by capture the Sicily and Naples and Sardina .After capturing Cordoba .

And also start good relations with Ottman Empire . They would be your best allies .pin the Russian army in the south and try to make the Ottmans have a conflict with them .


This map Shows the Austria and Moscow as your first goals

As you see the Austria is a easy plan . after they engaged in Bavaria and Wuttemberg you will destroy their tired Armies and Librate your new protectorates Then you have to make a good realation ship with Ottman Empire to Take your forces trough the sea to Little Tatari as shown on the below .

for force them You have to capture Cordoba before you start the Russian engine .so make an army in the south France as you start to make navies also in there . This is the attack map.

Never forget to have the Spain and North Europe with you then Start the blockade . I think then the england is crying for peace .
