What is Waterloo 3D?

Waterloo 3D is a wargame /real time strategy game that recreates the Battle of Waterloo in unprecedented 3D detail.

What's with the 3D part in the game title?

No hex tiles, no restricted camera angles. Fully modelled 3D terrain with gorgeously rendered in-game 3D units in colourful Napoleonic uniforms.

Are mini battles available in game?

Very much so, yes. The player can play several critical events and turning points in the battle of Quatre Bras as separate mini-battles.

Does the gameplay closely follow the historical sequence?

In the historical mode, yes. But the players can always choose the WHAT-IF scenarios that would diverge from historical arcs to explore several possible alternative outcomes.

When is Waterloo 3D going to be released?

Waterloo 3D – Part 1 : Quatre Bras is going to be released in Dec 2021.

If this is part 1, how about the other parts?

Since Waterloo 3D part 1 is Quatre Bras, part 2 will be Ligny and part 3 will be the main battle of Waterloo. Plans are afoot to release part 2 and part 3 together.

Can I design my own custom battles?

Yes. The players can design their own mini-armies, tweak the start conditions and create their own scenarios.

What exactly are the WHAT-IF scenarios?

In these scenarios, we explore the great imponderables of this iconic campaign. For example, what if Count d’Erlon had turned back to Ney instead of plodding on?

What platforms are being targeted?

PC platform first. We are considering Linux and iOs platforms too next.

Is Waterloo 3D - Part 1 : Quatre Bras a single, long continuous game?

It could be if the user wants to play the whole Battle of Quatre Bras in one go. But there are several dozens of smaller sized battle chunks available in-game.

Will the AI ever cheat?

Never. The player can set 4 levels of AI difficulty: Grouchy mode, Ney mode, Davout mode and Emperor mode. With each of these modes the AI will get gradually more aggressive and more cunning but will never cheat.

Do I need a PhD in history to play Waterloo 3D?

No, absolutely not! The game comes with several short and informative guides on the background for and the strategic situation before the Battle of Waterloo. These will be accessible in-game.
