It currently holds a metacritic metascore of 81.<ref name=MC /> The game and The Creative Assembly were praised alike for a number of graphical and AI improvements, along with the new campaign features and multiplayer modes. [[IGN]] remarked that the "tactical battles are still some of the most amazing we've ever seen in any game."<ref name=IGNREVIEW/> According to [[Eurogamer]], despite occasionally poor decision-making "the AI will still hold its own," and provides players "with a challenge that suits the difficulty."<ref name=EUROREVIEW/> Other criticisms focused upon the somewhat linear story-mode campaigns, the duration of naval engagements and the stability of the game's netcode.<ref name=EUROREVIEW/> Also upon release CA announced the uniform editor would be delayed, while not advertised "on the box" it was advertised as a feature by all online retailers, steam and even CA's own total war site. CA released another statement that news about the editor would be released soon, although to this date none had actually be released. The complete silence around the subject and the fact the new shogun 2 total war game was announced before any news about the uniform editor has sparked fury among the loyal fan base, due to certain members claiming without it napoleon total war is just a smaller re-skin of empire total war. Only 5 months after Napoleon total wars release was the uniform editor taken off as a feature on the CA website, however it is still on most online retailers feature lists.
