How tall was Napoleon

I was seriously tired of these ridiculously-coordinated army stacks gangbanging everything in their path. Always suspected Mendi and a few others were cheaters, I just hope they stay gone for good. They'll probably pop in again sometime but after losing all their work its unlikely they'll bother playing in the long-term.
What's Aurvandil like these days? Still the arrogant French Empire or has that unassailable attitude shifted? I always visualized Mendicant as an ultra-cocky Napoleon, stature and all. I hope there are still some good RPers in Aurvandil. While some of the racist and offensive overtones seriously pissed me off, I really enjoyed the upper-tier writing quality.

Napoleon was rather tall for his time...
Ehndras:
Quite tall? From what I was taught in Brazil and USA, he was very short. Comically-so.
Vita`:
While I don't recall his actual height, I do recall that a lot of the basis for the Napoleon short jokes was from british propaganda during the napoleonic wars.

Yeah... just going to say right now that America's track record on teaching objective history to students is rather... checkered, to say the least.
Ehndras:
Huh. Apparently he was actually 5'7. Still shortish, but not that much.
