Napoleon was like a very skilled but unlucky and too ambitious EU4 player. Because of all his Agressive Expansion points, everybody allied against him, struggling to win at first, then overwhelming later. He even tries to go out with a firework. Truly one of history's most interesting characters.

Another interesting thing about this map, that no one talks about, is that it reminds us that even before Napoleon was put into charge of everything, France, while dealing with huge internal problems, insurrections and civil war, also managed to fight its neighboring monarchies on every border, even pushing into Flanders to the borders of the Dutch Republic. For anyone who knows a bit about these chaotic times in France, despite the general mess inside the country the revolution allowed talented men to express themselves (talents who were shut down before the revolution as within the "Ancien Regime" any important position was occupied by noblemen ; birth privilege came before talent). This is how talented soldiers, such as Napoleon Bonaparte but also others like Lazare Hoche (who was a rising star just like Napoleon, sadly he died very young of tuberculosis) quickly accessed the higher positions in the Army and managed to win against these coalitions despite the odds.
