Empire: Total War - Artillery, Sieges, and other stuff...

[CamelBallZee]

Is Empire or Napoleon a better game?

[armyman3211]

the gas or smoke shots reload faster i love the artilery but what u need to do is mix it in with long rifel men and set up the spikes adn have cannons at least 2 mortars and 4 rockets

[armyman3211]

the gas or smoke shots reload faster

[avgnman72]

What type of computer do you have?

[NapoleonofFrance1]

@methenium agreed.

[ShadowShogun50]

I played the demo ver. and the horse-drawn cannons, for some reason, won't move when I want to. I set the cannons and when I try to load them up again, they won't move after i press the button.

[bigmathafaka]

@ShadowShogun50 press it again to make them move again

[jaketoby465]

good video

[failfan1]

What they realy need to do is allow the infantry to take a "Spaced" formation or something along those lines. Something that would do the same to artillery as "Square" formation does to cavalry charges

[Zaku1234567]

I was disappointed in rockets except in ship battles. I was really hoping for them to be especially effective.

[yousuckhardtime]

All the artillery shoud have a range of 500/600

Every artillery piece has a down side:

6/9/12/14/18 pounders cant shoot over hills, witch is annoying cuz most of the time the maps contains way to much hills. but they are good against cav and Battering down walls.

Mortars have got a bad accuracy but devasting impact.

Howitsers have like no range. 350, thats just nog enough for a propper battle. but the shoot over hills and walls and have a fair accuracy and good impact.

[dennisgames]

How do you get rockets in online battles?

[SuperBookworm101]

The trouble is getting the balance right so that artillery is effective but doesn't take away the fun. Canister shot is pointless though. the range is so short that the enemy can just fire some volleys at you or make a charge

[Interdiu]

are those cool graphics in the original game? i dont remember quicklime gives a gas cloud, but just a white cloud

[methenium]

Artillery were frighteningly effective at the time, but yet again gamers prove how much they hate playing war PROPERLY.

[shutup735]

@methenium Oh shut up, this is the best wargame ever made for this time period, 1776-1812! so what artillary sucks, artillary is stupid anyway, just charge at enemys, you can kill them SOOOO EASY that way!

[thesamuraijosh]

yer but hes right they shud be given a chance on the battle field

[fishydud]

im sorry lol but this guy is a tit... ofcourse artilery by themselves suck and when they attack a few men there gona miss!!! and they ban them just like rome cuz there to affective and make for an unfair fight sometimes.....

[dcsmith5100]

they people are complaining to much. If you can use them then its not cheap

[TheArcticFALLOUT]

man why dosnt enybody make machinima with empire totle war it has very epic scale so that would be perfect

[MrRedqwerty]

:39 Pickett's Charge!

[dcsmith5100]

I know eh

[juanrms171]

lol at 4:00 the guys r like shit i am dead with a bunch of rockets but they live lol

[PAINRULEZ]

24 pounder howitzers do as much damage

[fieldman07]

it is a shame. canister especially could tear whole regiments apart. id love to se 2-3 regiments of cannons tearing the enemy apart as they charge.

[Haloman728]

no, because you called me a douche

[MyCrownOfWorms]

they wouldn't balance anything, because this is realistic, and in real life mortars pwn

[Haloman728]

that proves that your a teenager too haha

[Haloman728]

Acne ridden teenagers...? if you were older than a teenager you would be mature enough to realize you were a teenager with acne at one time too.

If you were an adult... you wouldn't be making fun of people younger than you. nice try trying to act like an adult.

[Tonoba]

lol stupid manÜ?????

[nemesisv6]

Artillery is supposed to be "OP". The people who play online and complain are pathetic, artillery was used to DECIMATE enemy troops, horses, counter artillery or whatever, it's their purpose. Artillery is not cheap in any way shape or form. Back in those days of course it would be alot more destructive, look at the formation the soldiers used back in those times. Ranked, column, close line formations. Because war is balanced anyway, right?

[reddycomit]

War, no. Should games be balanced? Yes.

[nemesisv6]

Why? I'll bet you get murdered by artillery when you play. This is balanced, artillery is supposed to be devestating and a huge decrease in your opponets morale. Quit crying, just because people can put artillery to good use and you can't doesn't mean the game is unbalanced it just means whatever tactic you're using is horrible.

[reddycomit]

Lol. Congrats on totally missing my point.

[MitchofSmeg]

multiplayer needs to have caps on how many of each unit you have.

[jacobie14]

artillery is used for support not your main attack so they are not suppose to dominate the battle

[GeneralBelesarius]

rockets are WAY overpowered

[grimreepher]

mortars are cheap? hahaha tell that to every army that has used this since then. mortars are awesome, i think people are just whiny babies about it.

[brutalback]

Nobody in real warfare says something is 'cheap'. They find a way to counter it. But acne ridden teenagers sure as hell do whine.

[hungrymanmarlon]

is this the game

[Yarder122]

Lime shots are acctualy poisunos on enemy solders and are perfect for seiges pardon my spelling

[NYG5]

exactly, mortars rape an entire army while every other artillery is outclassed by an infantry unit, unless you're really really good at positioning your cannons

[sargeras9]

Well yeah, one infantry unit can easily take out an entire team composed of artillery - which makes perfect sense, since artillery are used to support an army from a distance, not fight in close quarters combat. However, the fact that artillery in this game do neither well is what makes it kinda stupid and useless in multiplayer matches (except for the mortar batteries, that is). Creative Assembly really needs to put out an update soon that fixes the role of artillery, it's just stupid now.

[wakato106]

@sargeras9 the cannon balls should bounce once at the very least to start

maybe three feet minimum

[shutup735]

@NYG5 If you wanna keep your artillary units alive, keep some infantry neer them!

DUUUUH

[UndefinedMadrid]

Great vid. You should make more

[sargeras9]

Thanks. I am. They'd be out already but Windows Movie Maker is a piece of shit and keeps erasing all audio from my clips somehow.

[sargeras9]

Glad you enjoyed.

[AznKenshin]

I enjoyed this video! Great job! I love the detail and opinions you put into your work.
