Historic Factions, Expanded Horizons, and an Updated Campaign
Total War's detailed, turn-based battle system has received some
serious upgrades that will have an impact on both seasoned
commanders and newly minted combatants. The UI has been
streamlined, and the systems for handling trade and diplomacy
have been updated. You have improved advisors at your disposal,
and realistic espionage techniques can be carried out using
agents. Empire puts a variety of major political factions into
your hands, including France, Spain, Great Britain, Sweden, the
United Provinces in northern Europe, Prussia, the Ottoman Empire,
and Russia. Detailed strategic elements come into play, whether
you're fighting in the heart of Europe, warding off Mamluk
horsemen in the middle east, or working to capture the wealth of
India. Beyond all this, for the first time in Total War history,
the continent of North America is an open field of play that
portrays the unique strategic problems encountered by the
founding hers during the revolutionary war.
Dynamic 3D Naval Battles and Forces of Nature
Total War's signature 3D battle scenes are paired with a new
graphics engine and improved technology, allowing war and
conquest to take on an even more realistic feel. Advanced
landscape and flora systems add both realism and depth to the
world stage, while dynamic weather consistently threatens to
throw a wrench in your attack plans.
Whether you're coordinating platoon firing or supporting a
defensive square formation, the musket and the cannon take center
stage as newly developed implements of war. And they're not just
for use on land. Real-time naval battle set on dramatic seascapes
help shape the balance of power and determine the of your
Empire, and they're rendered in the same impressive 3D as battles
on land. You may find yourself directing a vast fleet through
intricate maneuvers, controlling the helm of a single tall ship,
or grappling to the enemy's boat and dictating the course of
hand-to-hand combat on deck.
