Crown Of Glory Announced

VARESE, ITALY - 26TH APRIL 2006

Today Black Bean announces a historical addition to its product portfolio, Crown of Glory puts players in direct control of a European nation in the time of the Napoleonic Wars. Simulating one of the bloodiest periods in history Crown of Glory focuses on the driving forces behind war as well as combat itself.

Players will be thrust into the world of Napoleon and take control of a European nation and attempt to guide that nation to glory. Diplomacy, economics, strategy and combat must be balanced in order to become a successful ruler.

Crown of Glory gives players total control over diplomats, trade negotiations, treaties as well as powerful military units to expand his nations influence. Your opponents however, driven by powerful AI, will not be easily led or swept asunder so any budding leaders will have their tactical muscles tested to the limit.

Crown of Glory will be mobilizing forces from May 2006
