Virtual Programming recently released Europa Universalis III: Napoleon's Ambition for Mac OS X. The expansion expands the timeline of the game into the French Revolution and the Napoleonic era, allowing players to continue to the year 1820. Napoleon's Ambition also features new units, an improved interface, an enhanced trading system, and a variety of customization options.

Here are some of the expansion's features:

Expanded Timeline to 1820
The expanded timeline to 1820, will encompass the wars of the French Revolution and Napoleon. New leaders, rulers, advisor wars, countries and national ideas have been added as well as dozens of new units to give more tactical choices.

Historical Options
For those gamers looking for an even stronger historical experience, this option is the one. In addition to hundreds of new events, players will be able to see their rulers, leaders and advisors appear on the accurate historical dates.

Improved Interface 
A new added map mode for trade displaying all goods will be produced in each respective province, including its value. This means more pages for the ledger including information about colonies and leaders, and several  improvements to the interface.

Enhanced Trading System
An all-new system to auto send merchants will allow players to choose the trading centres they most want to focus on, and the game will take care of the rest. This system also includes a new rule for trade overseas. The only way players will be able to access markets is to use war or diplomacy to allow merchants in. Get there first and reap the profits!
