The beautiful strategy map is used to govern your empire and to move armies.
The map is much larger compared to Medieval 2 and, apart from Europe, includes North America and India. During the campaign of Empire: Total War you will govern one of eleven nations, including England or Prussia, from 1700 until 1799. To avoid boredom, here's the summary: The British, Prussians, French, Spanish, Austrians and Russians shot each other all the time, James Cook sailed around the world, the first steam engines were used in factories, British colonial armies arrived in India and fled from the newly-founded USA and in France members of nobility literally lost their heads, right before a small Corsican came to power. We can't verify that, so these quirks influenced the scores for AI and controls, lowering each by one point.Īccording to reliable sources the 18th century lasted exactly one hundred years. The developers promised to fix these problems until launch. Only path-finding problems during sieges and painfully long loading times remained. Right before our editorial deadline Creative Assembly sent us a much improved version, without crashes and almost bug-free. We couldn't review this version and we didn't want to. It crashed a lot and battles sometimes didn't even start. Continued abuse of our services will cause your IP address to be blocked indefinitely.The first test version of Empire couldn't be tested.

Continued use of these apps may cause your IP to be blocked indefinitely. This triggers our anti-spambot measures, which are designed to stop automated systems from flooding the site with traffic. Some unofficial phone apps appear to be using GameFAQs as a back-end, but they do not behave like a real web browser does.Using GameFAQs regularly with these browsers can cause temporary and even permanent IP blocks due to these additional requests.
