Land battles are fought in real time on a large battlefield, as in previous Total War games. For example, generals and admirals can recruit units in the field (which are dispatched from the nearest settlement or shipyard), and there are new formation tools for warfare that revolved around gunpowder weapons.Įmpire: Total War was originally released for PC in 2009 with a Mac port, developed by Feral Interactive, following in 2012. It features some of the largest 3D fully featured naval combat ever seen in a game - a new addition to the Total War franchise - newly refined diplomacy and AI, a larger campaign map which includes North and South America, Africa and India along with Europe, and new campaign mechanics. The game covers such important events as the growth of European continental empires like Prussia and Austria, the birth of the French Republic, the American Revolution, as well as the rise of global empires through naval supremacy and trade. The period itself already minimizes some of this - camping a corner is less effective when it makes you a perfect target for cannon fire.Empire: Total War is a strategy game set in the 18th Century. “One of the first things Richard did was to look at some of the exploit tactics people used in our previous games and say, ‘I’m going to make sure none of them work anymore,’” says Mark Sutherns. On a more basic level, the team has concentrated on bolstering traditionally weak areas of the series. “You should feel you’re fighting somebody rather than a machine.” This works on the commander level as well as the faction level, and you may learn that some generals are more prone to certain tactical approaches than others. “Are they like the Russians, with lots of infantry and cavalry who keep pushing forward and hope to win? Or are they like the French, who advance in column and use the Grand Battery to lay down covering fire?” asks Jamie Ferguson.
Equally, though, Empire is a game about history and color, and to that end, the devs are working to make each side tactically distinctive.
