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.
The devs actually forgot the camels in India have two humps and that the natives of the Caribbean islands and Mesoamerica didn't dress and behave like their northern cousins.
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.
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.
For reference, there's no law against taking fleeing enemies prisoner or even shooting them, the laws are for protection of prisoners in particular. So remember, if you want the protections of the geneva convention, surrender.
actually in empire spain often takes out portugal and that leaves their overseas provinces, goa in this case, as 'rebel occupied' so mysore took it from rebels, this also happens with ceylon if the french or spanish take out the United Provinces home region
Every faction has melee options fyi. If you press the little crossed swords button while you have Line Infantry selected they swap their muskets for short spears ;)
Laith, I think you just commited a warcrime in the eyes of the Americans, but sometimes it has to be done. Also I kinda like these quick and funny videos, they explain the plot very well, and because he wasn't gunning for it (get it? funny pun) 😄 Laiths Sun Tzu quotes of today: "We have more stars than them, which makes their point invalid" "Cannons are inanimate and not very good at leading an army" "Why are you losing? All you do is fight melee and lose against people who dont even have bayonets!" "Lets build up so we can exploi- help our people" "I forgot we can just siege Mysore and they come out themselves" common Laith L there, these poor people 🙄
@@Hellstiem I've read arguments that Sega should just dissolve the entire main CA and give the Total War IP to the CA Sofia, the ones making Pharaoh. Regardless of your opinion of said game, they seem to have passion and skills to make something very least decent using the horribly obsolete Frankenstein-engine the new Total Wars run on.
06:36 This is like Dwight David Eisenhower claiming the Dwight D. Eisenhower National System of Interstate and Defense Highways was totally for defending America from the soviet-union.
shoulve played the ottomans. the janissaries are probably the best melee troops in the game, actually being able to take multiple bullets and keep running
I love Empire TW, I love playing Spain in Empire TW. You start with the worst King ever so I naturally spark a revolution to switch to Republic then start a counter revolution to switch to Constitutional Monarchy which usually gives you the best leaders and such and then prompty begin wrecking the Royal Navy with my pure Galleon fleets because I can.
While I am a fan of the multiple nations of EU4 as well as the potential alt history stuff, Total War Empire scratches that itch of microing your way to victory
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
Minor factions revenge lets you play as Greece and form the Grottoman Empire. Delicious balance of eastern and western units that kinda sidesteps the ottomans not having fire by rank until nizam-cedit boys.
Playing the Maratha a broken strat i did(colonized Europe doing oretty much the same thing) blitz the army building tree for one reason...Sikh Warriors....they have better stats than Hindu ones and the Ghoorkas are good for number padding for autoresolve

Community is split it seems , empire gets mixed reviews
Napoleon did the battles better but the campaign map on this one was peak
Empire 2 would be my dream game. That and a Pike and Shot game.

I have a slight sense that laith lost the original videos audio and did this to cover up
I didn’t actually - thought this was a fun way of doing it! There’s live audio in the video lmao

to my knowledge, if the indians state that alexander didnt set foot in india, arent they admitting that pakistan is right?

Then form Rhodesia

Also this video was great, I like the experiment with the style.
Thanks matey!
bro really just dissed the Last Samurai like that. Still one of my favorite movies.
This might be your funniest video in ages, and I like the other videos too.

Laith. You can make it happen.
Get the multiplayer campaign mode of Empire: Total War unlocked.
I remember playing the Iroquois and forcing the europeans out with melee troops and archers.
I wish CA would work on making Empire 2 Total War instead of pharoah garbage

No god no, not with current Total War engine, unless you want to see utter disaster.

I hated the Sipahi much more. Probably because janissaries are rare
Just turned the thing into guts and blackpowder
Oh man, I understand violence better than I do economics, lol.
His Nonchalant humor is hilarious
Laith's true enemy in this campaign was patience.
Dove into our lands? Did you go to school in America?
This is just like the battle of Colloden in the Jacobite wars in Great Britain, except you won
I would totally join this army
The very first game I played of empire was as India. I took everything and then had to fight endless rebels for like 50 turns.
I would love to see you include navy as well in this but you just use like galleys or something and just board people 😂
Laith, I dare you to restore the Kushan Empire in Fallen Eagle 361 AD Start date, btw great video!
Empire content lets gooooo
Oh boy I gave the perfect game for you, have you ever heard of fall of the samurai?

didn’t expect to see my favorite TW game here, I’ve literally done the exact inverse of this challenge in other games inspired by this one lol
Whenever people complain about diplomacy or AI in eu4 I remember empire total war and I realize how awesome eu4 is.
I still hold my right to shoot a big sword from a bow
I would love to see empire tw but every time a country asks to trade territory you have to accept
Every fantasy anime with guns
As a A2 activist, deleting the gun troops hurt me emotionally and I’ll never recover from this
I’ll need 100 hours of therapy.

The Maratha can also recuit Ghurkas and Sikh Warriors.

Ah yes. Ruh-nyng.
Now do this with Ottomans :P

My favorite challenge I dod was colonize England as India.
Will you make napoleon version of this video?
Next As The Ottomans, Then Last But Not Least Pikemen Only Spain

You should try Darthmod for this game Laith!

Does anyone know when the intro ends?
Laith, you need to try the native DLC.
