The Battle of Sainte-Foy, fought on April 28, 1760, during the Seven Years’ War, saw the French forces under Chevalier de Lévis defeat the British near Quebec City. Despite this victory, the subsequent French siege of Quebec City failed due to the timely arrival of British reinforcements via the St. Lawrence River, forcing the French to retreat.

    Great video! Bushy Run was a significant battle because it showed that British troops had learned from their experiences during the French and Indian War. They not only held out against the natives in an ambush but even routed them. Bushy Run is also interesting because of the unusual and diverse array of soldiers who fought on the British side: Highlanders from the 42nd and 77th Foot, the "Royal Americans" (led by mostly German and Swiss officers) and Bouquet himself, who was Swiss!

    I used to work for CA from 2006-10. When the game was in development there were plans for an online co-op campaign and full historical Seven Years War/French Indian. With a small 1700- 13 colonies campaign including King George's War. Plus 60 maps and 180 units that were never added. Sega rushed us to release it by March 2009 when it needed another 6mo. The lost potential seems to have been picked up here. Great work honeybun.❤

    At this battle, the Black Watch suffered 65% casualties and became a royal regiment for their gallantry. They attacked the French breastworks FOUR times and were the only British troops to make it in. I know that there are limitations with Empire Total War, but historically the Highlanders would have been wielding broadswords when they leapt over the breastworks!

      @oliverjonesmilitaryhistory Месяц назад

      That was the intention. The audio would've sounded wierd if we had done a fade out, and unfortunately we could not find a suitable recording of scottish military bagpipe playing. By this, it either wasn't playing a war song, had other audio layered over it. When they charged the playing would've become messy as the musicians ran, and we struggled to recreate that effect. Eventually we settled on no bagpipes rather than substandard ones.

    I think of this battle because of The Last of the Mohicans. The British made a noble stand, but they had to surrender the fort. Montcalm tries to make the Indian allies observe the terms of surrender, the chiefs of various tribes listened, and felt betrayed. Many warriors died fighting alongside the French, and expected to return home with the honours of war. In the film version, Montcalm gives Magua the go ahead to attack the British marching. In reality, the British begin to leave. Escorted by French grenadiers. Trailing the Redcoats, is a long disorganized line of American provincials and camp followers. As the column comes upon a clearing outside the fort, the Indians begin their attack. It lasts only a few minutes. When it was over, exaggerated reports of 1,500 dead fueled anger among New England colonists. The truth was that 75 were killed. Of the 500 taken captive, many are ransomed back within a few days. What should have been a great victory, leaves Canada in peril. Without their Indian allies, the French will lose the war for North America.

      Right. First off. This battle is not being played to win. It is played to simulate the Battle of Hlobane where the British suffered a crippling loss. Second, you're right. It is deliberate. Because of the way the mod works, we have to force our troops to break (and that's when they're being set to 0 morale by us), unfortunately forcing us to deviate from truth, but necessary for us to lose. We can win, but we aren't supposed to. This was a British loss, so we are trying to lose as accurately as possible. Forgive me being pedantic, but dragoons do not feature in this mod at all.
