How to Patch Napoleon Total War to Run on Intel 12th Gen Processors
Napoleon Total War is a popular strategy game that was released in 2010 by Creative Assembly. However, some players have reported that the game does not work on Intel 12th gen processors, such as the i9-12900k, due to DRM issues. Fortunately, there is a way to patch the game to run on these new CPUs, using a reverse engineering toolsuite called Ghidra. In this article, we will show you how to do it step by step.
What You Need
A copy of Napoleon Total War installed on your PC. You can get it from Steam or GOG.
Ghidra, a free and open source reverse engineering toolsuite. You can download it from here.
A patched executable file for Napoleon Total War. You can either create it yourself using Ghidra, or download a pre-patched file from here or here.

If you want to create the patched executable file yourself, follow these steps:
