Welcome to /r/TotalWar!ДЄ subreddit for all of those who love the Total War series. Each region still has a capital, but there are now separate ports, towns, and farms. These are far more detailed than anything weвЂ™ve seen previously. I had a play through as Rome and became and empire then had a special army for my post war emperor, I had in his army a unit of Syrian armored elephants. Inevitably, the real action still goes down in the main, land-based conquerable regions of the campaign map. Had we picked a fight with Portugal or Spain, with their Atlantic-facing coastlines, things would have been very different. Once at war with the Ottoman Empire, our Great Britain campaign saw us bottling up the Ottoman fleet in the Mediterranean, keeping our Atlantic traders safe from attack. ItвЂ™s then down to your diplomacy, and the grit of your admirals, to keep those trade routes open, and to keep your nation rich. These are purely coastal regions, in which fleets can be placed to generate money. The trade routes then snake off into the rest of the world, including the four вЂtrade regionsвЂ™ вЂ“ South America, the Ivory Coast, the straits of Madagascar, and the East Indies. Pirates camping the route will need to be physically removed. Red, yellow and green status marks materialise to show who youвЂ™re sharing that sea-route with and how threatened you are. Scrolling across an empire that spans this vast distance is a pleasure indeed. The core map stretches from Iceland on the top left to Sri Lanka on the bottom right. The trade routes arc around the huge main map, which is itself divided into two principle sections: North America and Eurasia. While some trade does occur between trade partners over land, itвЂ™s the maritime trade routes that really print money. WhatвЂ™s most immediately obvious is the effect of international trade.

It has a superabundance of smart gaming.ДЄnd while it feels familiar, Empire manages to deliver more nuance on the campaign map than ever before. The Creative Assembly do not seem to have shirked their responsibility, or ever stepped back from including more features, or more detail. Empire: Total War is more, and better, than weвЂ™ve ever had before. This may indeed have been included to guide newcomers, but donвЂ™t think the complexity of the main game has been sacrificed. There had been rumblings about Total War being simplified for the US market, especially with its introductory mini-campaign вЂThe Road to IndependenceвЂ™. Planning, plotting your colonial ambitions. Even when youвЂ™re not playing, youвЂ™re thinking about it.

Completing a campaign is one of those gaming exploits that you know will be with you for the rest of your life, simply because it will consume so much time. Whatever you do, this game is a colossal undertaking. And when youвЂ™re done there, youвЂ™ll want to try a different nation, and its different victory conditions. Control fearsome weapons of war including armoured elephants, Scythian war chariots and Roman war dogs. First time ever fully 3D strategy map showcasing mountains, rivers, trade routes and more. Epic real-time battles with up to 10,000 3D units on screen at once. If youвЂ™re playing as Britain, as we did, victory means controlling Egypt and a chunk of both India and North America. All new Total War engine that creates spectacular, cinematic graphics. At the back of your mind, youвЂ™re always aware of that clock, ticking down toward victory or defeat. Assuming youвЂ™re going to play the gigantic Grand Campaign, youвЂ™ll start in 1700 and have a turn every six months until 1799. The field of conflict in Empire, most global of the Total War games, is the 18th century. It is both a vast turn-based historical escapade and a gritty real-time battlefield engine that delivers the most cogent picture of mass conflict weвЂ™ve yet seen. Total War occupies its own territory between Civ, classic RTSes, and the hex-based wargames armchair generals get all excited about.
