The Battle of Austerlitz (1805) Epic Napoleon Total War Cinematic Battle NTW 3
17In 1805, The Battle of Austerlitz, or the Battle of the Three Emperors proved to be the decisive end to the Coalition's ambitions against Napoleon to overthrow him and restore the Monarchy to France. Comparable to battles such as Cannae, and Gaugamela, this battle has been studied and analysed for centuries after Napoleon's reign ended. It was said that Napoleon told his men after the battle: Soldats! Je Suis Content De Vous! In English, this will be translated as Soldiers, I am pleased with you!
Over two million golden Francs were provided to the Officers, and 200 francs to each soldier, and pensions for the widows of the fallen. Orphaned children were also adopted by Napoleon, allowing him to add his surname. Artists and musicians expressed their joy at this victory, for it had been a hard-fought one. The Austrians had to cede land to Bavaria, Wuttermberg and Baden, which were Napoleon's allies. The Allies lost 180 guns, and 50 standards, losing over 36,000 men out of an army that had composed of 89,000. The French? Only 9000 out of an army of 66,000.
Paris had been at the centre of an economic collapse when the news came that Napoleon had won this battle. Amazement and shock stunned the capital. Tsar Alexander best said it when 'they are babies in the hand of a giant, while Prime Minister William Pit commented that 'roll that map up, it won't be needed for these ten years'. And how true he was.
This was the battle that cemented Napoleon's legacy, and this is my cinematic recreation of it. I've tried to stick true to the events, and some inaccuracies may occur but this was a heck of a battle. This epic wonderful cinematic was done with NTWIII, and was played with @PopeJohnPaul who has done his commentary on the battle in a mini-series which I will link down below:
