GAWD THAT WAS AWESOME.

Very curious as to how the combat will actually pan out. If you played M2TW, the gunpowder units were rather annoying as only the first line of infantry would fire and then retreat to the back to reload. Rinse and repeat for the total number of battlelines in that unit. However, 18th century combat required one mass of infantry to fire AT THE SAME TIME as muskets were relatively inaccurate.

British redcoats were trained to fire in a mass and speed of reloading was emphasized, not accuracy. Hope to see the same for Empire.

im so getting this game

yeah... next year sure must presuade my dad get my own game rig.. lol 512mb gc or 1gb gc.. single gc enough for me.. lol.. then the mobo must dual sli capable.. lol

eh isnt it the whole world???why only europe only the campaign map?

Look at your history books mate.

The video memory is not the thing which makes a video card good. Its not that important. Video Memory helps if you have a bigger monitor and if you have to r un the game in higher res. Other than that no real difference. Its all about the graphics chipset.

TW history getting earlier and earlier

i think they should remake RomeTW and
if possible China 3 kingdom

i prefer close combat warfare rather then range combat warfare

The land battles looks good.Looking forward to this game too.

*Adds Empire Total War on the list.

I would love it if they go to WW1.

China 3 Kingdom will be damn awesome.

Doubt they'd put China campaigns in unless you're talking of the Three Kingdoms history onwards. There's nothing much going on for China during the 18th Century.

Looking at the time period of Empire: Total War I'm almost 100% sure the expansion pack is going to be about Napolean. Maybe...just maybe they could do something similar like in Kingdoms where they have 4 different smaller cmapaigns instead of one. In that case there is chance of them including maybe a American Civil War campaign, Napolean Campaign and maybe Far East campaign.

But not sure if CA UK will make such a huge expansion pack.

Aoshi88...I only have one word...Opium Wars or Anglo-Chinese Wars 1839 to 1842 and 1856 to 1860. As i said...maybe expansion pack.

PS : ETW ends 1820 so just perfect for Opium Wars and Napolean in the Xpack.

I mean the Chinese 3 Kingdoms.Not in Empire Total War.

Still,by seeing the way Total War is being made.It seems more like they putting the time line of their games closer and closer to our present date.

Do correct me if im wrong.

A WW1 Total War would be sweet but not after that.

3 kingdom? the series of 3 kingdom already licensed by koei.

ermmm .... never got chance to tried it
i do saw some 3 kingdom strategy game but in mandarin .... kinda hard for me

WWI would be nice
WWII not bad either

after that is just No no
a boom just can settle everything

WWII is over done.So,i would prefer it not to be made in the first place.

Up to WW1 is enough.

Not really. You forgot Shogun Total war before Rome. Set during the Shogunate Daimyo era of feudal Japan then they went to Medieval Europe and only then back to ancient Europe. So it doesn't really follow a timeline. The reason they picked the Renaisance era was because of Naval battles(more important then ever).

Total War games have a certain flavour of warfare that is about epic battles and not long range/ small skirmishes. Formation of the army is very important in all Total War games. Making a more modern Total War game will be a lot different that the previous ones.

Empire period still is about army formations and positioning because Muskets aren't acurate and they need to fire a volley at a certain range to maximise its damage. Thats why one regiment had so many men in it. I'm afraid WW1 or even WW2 will change that. I dont think i will like that.

In WW1 and WW2, you'd end up with 120men companies. And that's company level, not down to platoon or squad-level yet.

Yeah,it could be interesting too.

recently there's Romance of Three Kingdoms 11 for pc in english la
just released last month or so
ported from ps2 1, but not bad

hmmm how bout u choose an empire and try to conquer the world? that sounds fun

btw WW2 to much....i think COH is the best of those WW2 strategy games
