Battle of Lagos

As so often in 18th Century warfare, French plans to invade England during the Seven Years War were reliant on ships from the naval base at Toulon joining ships from Brest. The British had both ports blockaded, and the French had to wait for one of the blockading fleets to withdraw for re-supply before attempting any rendezvous.

The opportunity came when the British fleet under Admiral Boscawen at Toulon withdrew to Gibraltar. The French under Jean-François de la Clue-Sabran left Toulon, and began to make their way towards Brest. Passing the Straits of Gibraltar, the French were spotted by Boscawen's lookout ships.

Giving chase, Boscawen's fleet was only slightly larger than the French force, and caught up with them off the coast of Portugal where battle was joined.


The footage has been captured with Fraps. Unfotunately, the sound got messed up and doesn't fit anymore. I hope you enjoy it anyway. The graphic settings were the highest, V-sync turned off and 2x AA. For editing I used Windows Movie Maker.

  • how do you find your pc specs?

  • @xboxpirates2000 they should tell you when you buy your rig

  • What settings can i run this game on with these specs, if at all.

    Intel® Core™ 2 Quad Core Processor Q8200 (2.33GHz, 1333MHz, 4MB cache)

    8192MB 1067 MHz Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM

    512MB ATI® Radeon™ 4850 Graphics card

    All on a 64 bit operating system

    if not can anyone help me to find one that can

  • I don't think you can play it on ultra, but everything at high sounds realistic. If you want to play it all maxed out (or without full AA/AF at least) you should go with an ATI Radeon HD 4870 1GB RAM running on a Core 2 Quad Q9450 or an AMD Phenom II X4 940. That's my advice.

see all

  • does ETW have a cinematic editor like Medieval 2?

  • Great video man, I wonder how time do you take to make one. This is beautifull.

  • Its hard to make a video with a followable story line out of a sea battle but you did pretty good here anyway. I can't wait to see what you do with sea battles when the CineEd is released.

  • Yeah, you should well be able to play it :)

  • Intel® Core™ 2 Quad Core Processor Q8200 (2.33GHz, 1333MHz, 4MB cache)

    4096MB 1067 MHz Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM [4x1024]

    640 GB Serial ATA non Raid (7200 Rpm)

  • yeah, the graphics are not the problem for you. but what about your other specs, cpu & ram?
