    Ah yes, Empire Total War. With its countless bugs and glitches. With a map the size of the human being who birthed you, to keep it 17'th century civil. This game stole many hundreds hours of my life, to my full enjoyment. This game is brilliant, even though the Total War community disagrees. Thank you for inspiring me to put in another 100 hours into the game Laith. Thank you.

      @@jimbojangles9056 Empire is a bad game because it's bugged as shit and AI is God awful. But the setting and the map are amazing. Really a shame. Some mods such as Empire 2 Total war and Pirates Uber Alles really improve the game.

      The buildings are awful and the maps don't match what's on the game, for example Rome and medieval if you fight in woods with a river on the campaign map you get that on the actual battle map, not here

    I just want to point out that chasing down routing troops is never a war crime, not even in the modern day. Running away is not the same as surrendering, troops who run away can reorganise and return to fight again.

    This is legit strategy for Ottomans. You make cheap pitchfork troops in front take first fire volley, then your expensive Janissaries behind reaches enemy infantry without any loss.

    • @swissarmyknight4306
      @swissarmyknight4306 26 днів тому +9

      Also works for the Maratha. The cheap gun unit runs in front, absorbs gunfire on the way in, then fires one volley at point blank range before the Hindu Warriors go in through their line. Then the cheap gun unit follows the Hindu Warriors. Other units like Hindu Lancers flank. Completely devastates line infantry, crashes through the line like the Kool-Aid guy.

    Play as France and force The Revolution on turn 2 or 3 via max tax and putting the armies on the ships so they can't reach the siege, and Side with the Rebels. You get to play as Rev France starting on turn 2 or 3, and you can do some cheeky hugboxing with GB and Prussia. I had been playing Empire since sometime around launch and it took me until now to realize I could abuse the revolution mechanics. Note: Cannot play as Revolutionary Kandy Rebels.

    It's my dream to see a second empire total war. It's genuinely my favourite historical total war in terms of what it tried to do. The tech system genuinely having a huge impact over the course of the campaign, actually managing to implement intercontinental war well, the naval game is just gorgeous, the tactics are fantastic. It got really unfairly abandoned over stupid corporate decisions
    Of course it is a buggy mess that's so undercooked that the entire indian subcontinent is unplayable because sieges on their forts completely break the ai, but hey ho
