Turn off all your apps like MSN, Internet Browser, torrent clients etc. Then try to reconnect. If that doesn't work, restart your router/modem.

Steam is notorious for not connecting when you run download, chat or browsing apps. f***ing retarded if you ask me.


And you don't have to keep infantry in your towns all the time. But i advise you keep one or two units in borders towns esp if the neigbouring state is at war with you.

Some people are getting some crazy long turns, seems to be a bug. Some people saying one AI turns can take few minutes.

Most of the times I find not really necessary to put an army in farms and co, just keep your army in one stack and can chase around the AI troops if they start destroying your farms

And yes, tonight I should be fine for few battles in a row, yesterday was pretty fun even if we lost

To speed up enemy turn just press on space bar

To speed up AI turn, turn off "Show CPU Moves" in game settings

Using 9800GTX+ here, mostly high with some Ultra setting and Volumetric disabled. Slight choppy in campaign map when scrolling around, and sometimes have to wait few seconds when selecting a unit/opening its properties.

On year 1735 now (~70 turns) and I only experience CTD once in campaign map BEFORE the 10th March update.

Bought this game almost 2 weeks ago, haven't got the time to touch it.

Just installed and left it there.

Hopefully when I get my new rig I would have some time to play this game.

thanksf or the help... can anyone tell me how to update the patches? i have install the steam, but donno how to download

and i got crashes when playing the game... especially the diplomacy screen pop up, then i click accept.. crash

2nd crash is at the road to independance.. after 1st match, when loading the 2nd match, it stuck at there

Patches will download automatically with Steam (except if you manually cancel this), you have nothing to do, no worries.

For Crashes... I am getting quite a lot as well, can mostly hope for the patches to come and fix them I guess.

I think since you played with us last night means that your patch is already updated.

but, i did start the steam, but didnt see any update download by itself...

pirate spotted...prepare broadsides!

Then maybe you already have the latest patch.

No worries, it done it, you can't start the game if there is an update pending. It must have done it without you noticing.

You were connected online since we played yesterday so definitely Steam was able to check if update or not

LOL Empire Total war ....at Year 1730 my India each turn earning 15k per turn after pay army and naval and town watch expenses and each turn give Spain , France , Sweden 3k and let them build army now they go crazy already. (WIthout cutting expenses my each turn earning 32k) . The Spain now help me kill all those british Naval and Eliminated Portugal. France help me Fight British Naval and france now invading Poland and Italy. The Sweden now eliminated Denmark and help me fight british naval also.

NOW the entire Europe cannot see single british naval.....Wahahahahaha. India at late so damm rich u just pay money to Europe big Friction then they will help you eliminated your enemy for you

So far i think at Year 1730 except India no ather country each turn can earn more than 32k and year 1730 almost all terrory will pop out new buiding to let you choose build factory or school or entertiment build..i choose all build school now my india at year 1730 got 6 college and my technologi is far more advance than Europe country ...LOL WTF my naval now is using 2nd rate and 3rd rate naval and europe strongest ship just 4th rate only

My game updated on 11th March by itself (see Steam Update news, dated March 10 with fixing of memory leak)
Update size is about few megabytes.

My game is SF Edition.

The hardcopy campaign map is very useful Other than that, the extra units in game is totally rip off and lame. Only able to build 1 Rogers Rangers so far (total limit exceeded for this unit type). Technology not advance enough to build HMS Victory yet

Nah, show off abit

hoo hoo... mine is SF ver also. So meet us up tonite. we fight.

Fighting sounds so....ungentlemanly. We shall duel! May the best general win.

Some observations:-

1) Need to check whether it is possible only to join spectate WHEN the match is underway.
2) Mortars are imba! Many people are banning them.
3) When playing 2v2 we need to restrict army size...not unit size...playing with small unit is flawed since you wont be able to use proper formations(square wont work).
4)1v1 no problem...but 2v2 probably have to split army size by half.

Well, my mortars did not do much last night (I am way too much used to the AI always attacking)

They are good if you defend, otherwise they can only be glorified pompom boys from the back since they can't reach your ennemies. This or take the smaller ones that can be carried by horse

I agree with the bigger unit size but smaller army size, would make it for more interesting (it's kinda tough to handle so many units) and leave us able to micro them more (like I almost forgot to use my grenades on my grenadiers last night).
