Mmm I am a huge fan of Medieval: Total War (and its expansion) but I am also hugely disappointed by Empire: Total War. Don't get me wrong, I think the concept of Empire is great, but there's too many technical issues (eg. super slow during AI moves) that I didn't even finish any campaign lol.

I hope this Napoleon: Total War will fix all these issues. Where do you read about this, btw? Is this a stand-alone sequel or an expansion pack?

Hmm sounds like a sequel instead of a stand-alone expansion. I guess this means that there'll be no sequel for Empire.

I guess they realise their mistake with the game and gave Napoleon a whole new more optimised engine... Or at least, I hope.
