Please comment/rate. Enjoy and thank you for your time.

Empire: Total War is an upcoming 2009 real-time tactics and turn-based strategy in the Total War video game series.

Empire: Total War is scheduled for release on February 3, 2009 in United States, and February 6, 2009 in United Kingdom and Pal territories.

Gameplay

Empire: Total War is about exploration, conquest, founding of colonies and fighting wars away from home. The game's timeline spans from 1700 to the early 1800s, in which you direct your nation to dominate Europe, North Africa, the Americas, the Indies, and the Indian subcontinent.

The player will use both complex strategies on the campaign map as well as command battalions on the battlefield—both on land and sea.

The game will feature gameplay correlating with that of the previous games in the Total War series, but with major additions to the campaign map and battlefield.

Factions

There will be around 50 factions in the game, with around 12 playable from the beginning. Currently 10 factions have been confirmed:

* Kingdom of Prussia (confirmed as playable)
* Kingdom of France (confirmed as playable)
* Spanish Empire (confirmed as playable)
* Ottoman Empire (confirmed as playable)
* Thirteen Colonies (confirmed as playable)
* Kingdom of Great Britain (confirmed as playable)
* Russian Empire (confirmed as playable)
* Swedish Empire (confirmed as playable)
* Mughal Empire
* Dutch Republic (confirmed as playable)
* Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (confirmed as playable)
* Austrian Empire

It is also confirmed that changes in government may occur during the campaign as the rise of democracy becomes an issue in this time period. For instance, the United States may only come into existence if the rulers of that area are unable to maintain social order.

Another example is the French Revolution that may occur if the people of France (or any Faction in the game) are no longer satisfied with their sovereign.

Factions will also have a varying number of objectives such as establishing successful colonies, trade routes and dominance in certain regions as victory conditions.

Features

Empire: Total War will feature a new game engine as well as 3D naval battles, a feature new to the series, as well as large land battles with musketeers, cavalry and artillery.

Buildings and structures can be garrisoned, as well as being destructible, and there is a plethora of new formations and strategies to be mastered.

Players can change the form of government of their empire from an absolute monarchy, constitutional monarchy, and republic.

The game will feature a full host of historical figures including Peter I of Russia, Duke of Marlborough and Charles XII of Sweden.

The game will feature a tech tree for the first time in the series, that will allow players to research pure technologies as well as construct and upgrade buildings.

Players can choose to focus on a whole host of different technologies that give units new abilities on the battlefield, allow your artillery to develop new types of ordnance, improve ships sailing and fighting performance.

Other technologies will develop your economy and enable new buildings and infrastructure, and others will advance the educational level of your nation and speed up future research.

The naval battles feature:

* Realistic damage model for ships. Tear sails and destroy masts with chain shots, cannon balls can kill men, destroy guns, smash through different parts of a ship's hull and sink it.

* Realistic cannon fire.

* Round shots, chain shots, and grapeshots.

* Boarding action.

* Dynamic weather that has a major impact on naval battles.

The battles on land have been given a makeover too:

* Music makes its way into the battlefield in the form of bagpipes, drums, flutes and trumpets.

* Weapons may jam and misfire, cannons can explode.

* Generals shout orders at their troops as the regiment goes into combat or fires at enemies.

* The battlefield becomes strewn with dead, dying and dismembered bodies.

* A new cover mechanic. Units can take cover inside buildings and behind walls.

* When fighting in hand to hand combat characters will evade, parry and block attacks.

  • i cant wait for Hitler Total War

  • My guess is were going to see Rome 2 Total war Next and then Empire 2 Total War. Maybe something completely new in between.

  • Empire 2 Total War should be a map of the whole world based in the 19th century. Have Napoleons game mechanics like looting and Vassal states after defeat and interchangeable structures. It should have America, Mexico, Brazil, Britain, France, Spain, Prussia, Austria, Russia, Ottoman Empire, Piedmont-Sardinia(Uniter of Italy), China, Japan all be playable factions and then some like Netherlands, Maratha, Siam, Ethiopia could be made playable as well possibly.

  • CA should make an Empire 2: Total War with a bigger map of the world and use the new features they are developing now in Shogun 2: Fall of the Samurai someday :)

  • @zt76831 I see your point, still i think it would be cool if they could do it

  • @horror455

    I can't see that working. The latest conflict the Creative Assembly could do well would be the First World War.

    My hope is that the next release (after Fall of the Samurai) will be something akin to "Victoria: Total War", lasting from around 1830 to 1918 (yes, I know that Queen Victoria died in 1901, but, as far as I'm concerned, the First World War was the end of that era).

  • can i buy this game in the US and play it in europe ?

  • who thinks that there should be a total war game of World War II?

  • All of you that play this game, EMPIRE TOTAL WAR.

    You need to watch South Park "a little bit country" episode.

    Its stupid but whatever hahaha. Its funny to watch.

  • To cont. on my comment below. Joe Smith was in usa when he did this. JOE SMITH is an agent (like how people look at priests and monks back in the day) for usa in politics. He was doing strategy and is... retarded. Along with Benjamin Franklin, who flew a kite during a storm? OK I ADMIT IT!!!  I done stupid shit in my life but Beni Frank takes the GOLD on that one.
