With Darthmod, I'd play Empire over Napoleon any day. Vanilla Napoleon is loads better than vanilla Empire, but I actually hate vanilla Empire and dislike vanilla Napoleon as well. I don't know what it is, the guns sound weak, the uniforms aren't as good, the factions don't seem very polished, the unit variety isn't great... and this goes for both games. I really can't play Empire or Napoleon without Darthmod anymore. Just my opinion, but yeah, Darthmod Empire beats vanilla Napoleon by a mile. When they both have Darthmod they're about equal, and when they're both vanilla, Napoleon is better.
I am sure you know about this but, there are a couple mods that bring all of the napoleon graphics to empire which basically turns empire into napoleon total war but you get the grand campaign map. So for me empire tw is the better game with the enhancements haha.

+PurpleKnockMe well actually yes. only Napoleon is the best but I just saw that on steam there are 4000 People playing empire and only 2000 playing napoleon
Seems like an alternate history battle, when New York wasn't captured by the british army and the Thirteen Provinces became a dutch state, so the USA was fought their independent from Netherland :D
Great video Pixie! + 5:29 , If you zoom in very close on the ground and then click on the button 'zoom to location' , it'll usually go directly to the spot where the general lies :P
So here is the scenario : the Dutch are extending their trade possessions in South America and the newly independent United States are concerned over the Dutch expansion. The British have forsaken their alliance with the Dutch for economical reasons and now the young nation in America wants room for growth. The U. S. already has the necessary industry and suddenly comes upon a lone Dutch fort...
Good job lad. However, I don't know how likely something like this would happen since the Dutch helped the United States economically during the revolution.
Standard military knowledge. When it comes to laying siege always lead with your artillery, use your infantry to support and protect your artillery until they run out then send in your infantry to mop up
I often go out of a fortification to engage with enemy arty or other units towards the end of the battle, but i always keep reserve units inside the fortification. I only send out what i can afford; typically i use cav to flank around behind a hill using defilade, while using about two units to march front on. The front on infantry units are just to keep the arty trained on them while allowing a free charge from cav, a few infantry do die as a result, but much better than using any kind of frontal assault only strategy. P.S. Thanks for the Empire upload =)
***** That is temporary until we negotiate new trade deals. We knew that was going to happen anyway, but our sovereignty is worth more than all the gold in the Federal Reserve. We may be in a poorer ship, but at least we're the captains now.
***** You let us worry about that, you can carry on as normal. We are Great Britain, we will find a way, we always have. The social experiment that is the EU will crumble now. We will all be sovereign nations again soon, friends and allies.
no make a bloody new one.We need better unit collision in Medieval,cavalry need to be improve.Napoleon and Empire melee attack is so fun to watch. They need to make like this in medieval too.
+Afnan Zahran NOOOOOOO. Napoleon and Empire and Rome II and Attila have the shittest combat system. Kill moves, although intended to make the battles more cinematic, actually make it more boring to watch, because once you see two soldiers start a kill-move, nothing will interrupt it and after a few battles you'll know exactly what happens in said kill-move. Medieval II had unit collision, Napoleon and Empire do not and for a time period focused on cavalry charges and infantry combat, no unit collision would be crippling to the game. I'll copy and paste something I already said about this. "Medieval 2's soldier animations, I believe, were the best. Rather than a very long elaborate animation which wouldn't happen in an actual battle ever, there were the standard swings and stabs that might or might not kill their opponent and then maybe a cool finishing move where they might smash their axe right into their foe's chest even after they raise a hand to stop it, or whacking their head back with a sword. That system was the most realistic and cinematic."
My favorite mod call of warhammer makes the medieval 2 combat even better and more fun to watch. Lots of new custom finisher animations and death animations seemed to be put in and the fighting is more fast pace and deadly (less harmless shield bashing attacks and so on)
*Thanks for posting a scenario* of how the United States might have approached a siege of a Batavian-held fortress, had we been dragged into war in the then-disorganized Netherlands while the French Revolution of 1792 was still in progress. The U. S. Army was working on the balance of combat arms at the time; Infantry needed sharpshooter and grenadier battalions in the mix with the heavy musquet regiments, Cavalry needed dragoons (mounted rifles) as well as lancers, and Artillery used mortars in addition to smoothbore field guns.
Having a ETW2 would be AMAZING! While ETW's release wasn't great and had its share of bugs, the idea and the potential is huge. I'd love to see this, but not in a RTWII/Atilla style, but rather like NTW
for those who want empire total war with napoleon gameplay,enhanced sounds and graphics,plus realistic smoke and a bunch of fixes,and a sub mod that makes random event like EU IV...the mod is called imperial destroyer and the submod vdm
and increased battle duration (troops have more morale) and tweaked stuff like range aaand reduced the gap between soldiers so the units look more powerful
I sent you an Empire siege replay a while ago, not sure if you've checked it out yet. It is the US versus the plains nations. I don't wanna spoil too much, but it has a HUUUUGE plot twist in it.
Pixelated Apollo when seeing the u.s marine uniform then dang that’s a nice uniform when he sees the u.s marine uniform now it’s ok Apollo be simping over the u.s marine uniform lol
Hey Apollo, are you planning on recreating the battle of bastards from the last GoT-episode? Because that was really a battle you could showcase up to scale with Total War
The campaign in napoleon is wayyyy too small,few factions as well,and immortal general kinda ruin the freedom of total war,but the battle and graphics is amazing
Napoleon campaign is not bad tbh,although it a simplified Europe map.The way AI react to your move is great.Like when attacking a small army.They will withdrawing. Etw for me was more focused on action in battlefield.Imma still enjoying today,with tons of mods
@PixelatedApollo Have you seen the extended videos for Hobbits The Battle of Five Armies. The Dwarves got cavalries and chariots with automatic crossbow mounted. I hope they put those units in Rise of Mordor mod for Total War Atilla.
I personally prefer shogun 2 (with all Dlc's) over all the total wars cause the combat system was beautifully done the best system iv'e seen. And the graphics were incredible. The campaign was amazing also. And the multiplayer... The best multiplayer iv'e played for total war
The only thing I don't like about ETW is if your setting are late for timeline France uses the Napoleonic flag but they still wear Empirical French uniforms
You're render distance/unit draw distance is huge! When I play on everything on ultra I have to zoom in at least 3 meters away from a unit to see it without a 2d sprite taking over, it's super annoying. Are you using any graphical mods?
Lol what uniforms do you not like? hahaha. Seems to be you like all of em ;) And pretty sure you don't need to ram in rounds for mortars due to the angle of fire. Old style heavy Mortars had like these nets carrying the round where they sue it to roll it in to the mortar. Powder is also easily placed in. Especially for something of that size. I don't know much on colonial era weapons, but I know that much...
Hey Apolla ,I just picked this game up on sale ..was playing as US in campaign.how do you get another army to reinforce when attacking.I am attacking a fort with Gen Washington,but the army right next to us don't show up as reinforcing..??!! newer games allow it.hmmm
The drummer is like..."you best not touch my drum set"
Never f*** with the drummer
Lol
Am I the only one who prefers Empire to Napoleon?
me
Uhhh nah
I do
I do as well especially with DarthMod 😁🇺🇸

sweet dude! Thanks for the info! Will I still be able to play online battles with it?
Honestly I do not know about that, its only a visual thing perhaps it will work. Sorry.
yes! Empire finally! Napoleon and Empire are the best!
HELL NO (napoleon yes)
+PurpleKnockMe well actually yes. only Napoleon is the best but I just saw that on steam there are 4000 People playing empire and only 2000 playing napoleon
So what it doesn't make it the best
guys i have both empire and napoleon both are great but napoleon is a littel bit better that what he means
(sorry for bad english)*
Nope. Medieval 2. Most of the mods come for Med 2.
The Delaware troops are "light infantry", also known as skirmishers. The re-enactment folks of the American Revolution could tell you about them.
Seems like an alternate history battle, when New York wasn't captured by the british army and the Thirteen Provinces became a dutch state, so the USA was fought their independent from Netherland :D
you mean states
charlie h
My apologize. In Hungary we called them provinces.
+charlie h not states, thirteen colonies
+Conor Abbott almost every country does
+Conor Abbott just like the whole world calls it football and america calls it soccer. they always do it.
My god the Dutch player was terrible.
he could have won easily
ikr
He is a shame to our glorious stroopwafel empire :P
I know he was doing great and then he charged that canister.
He wasnt even doing great in the defence. He seemed just to have too much luck till the attack

Yes he brought back empire. I was thinking and watching your empire videos earlier and saw this. What a treat.

Empire has the best duels ive seen i total war so far. The little musket fights that break out always look really good.
Marines say Oorah not Hoorah and US Army Rangers "lead the way." O for 2 ;P

The United Provinces not the Batavian Republic this is Empire not Napoleon
Imagine what the commander was thinking after this battle because the Dutch general died

4:55, this man deserves a life of a soldier video.
4:51 I can see "life of a soldier" here
Love your channel keep making awesome videos Apollo :)
What about now?
I played all the games from the Empire Total war and I have to say that it all started to get bored me but the Empire never!
Only just found this channel your funny as hell and awesome commentary man love your work!
Congrats Apollo for reaching 150000 subs, like I predicted u got here in less than a week. I hope u can reach 200000 soon :)
Pixelated Apollo-Reminds me of your Last Stand Napoleon battle were that Austrian artillery shelled your army into tiny lil bits.
150k Pixe! Well done, you deserve it!
Just imagine using canister shot with a blood and gore mod enabled.
that derpy Calvary troop was freaking out lol
Personally, Napoleon battles are my favorite part of your channel. Especially 2 v 2 and 3 v3s.
WTF APOLLO!
WHY DO YOU ATTACK THE DUTCH :(
im dutch :(
I didn't attack. This wasn't my replay
Y sorry, im just the ADD type who doesnt even know that. Btw do you remember me?
I was the Dip your beard in candle wax guy :PP
+Pixelated Apollo Apollo I really liked this battle could we do more like this?
me tooo
Meer Nederlanders hier??? Wist ik niet xD
Also lad it's called a swab that stick he was putting in the mortor, was used to push in the ball.
That Dutch charge at the end was painful to watch...
I'm British and I still think that the US Marines have one of the coolest in the game.
The canister shot at 5:46 to the american unit on the ground level of the fort is the one that killed sergeant stanky leg
Yes Apollo i have been waiting for some empire fort battles!
for those who want empire total war with napoleon gameplay,enhanced sounds and graphics,plus realistic smoke and a bunch of fixes,and a sub mod that makes random event like EU IV...the mod is called imperial destroyer and the submod vdm
and increased battle duration (troops have more morale) and tweaked stuff like range aaand reduced the gap between soldiers so the units look more powerful
+TMD thx u so much do u know any mods for Napoleon please?!
Life of a soldier. - super glitchy horse artillery guy
At least the grappling hooks are more believable than the ladders that appear from magical satchels...
Look at 6:08 those two are having some pirates of the Caribbean shot there
Bro that Pixelated Apollo fought with me, i knew he was the lies 😂

What's your rig setup? Looks amazing. Great vid. Liked and subbed
The Dutch player messed up
Hey Apollo, are you planning on recreating the battle of bastards from the last GoT-episode? Because that was really a battle you could showcase up to scale with Total War
at 6:09 to the right a little to the middle you can see a drummer doing some sword fighting
congrats for 150K Knights..Now strength is for than kara mustafas army....
The way the US infantry just charged through that gap MMMMMM FREEDOM BONER
Its nice to go back to the good old Empire. :)
Oh because of your videos I'm going to be in the army thank you so much
Damn. The US threw a lot of cards away real early. Yet like usual. America gave some freedom to the fort.
Napoleon is better than empire in everywayt except the campaign imo.
true but napoleon and empire are so close to each other
The campaign in napoleon is wayyyy too small,few factions as well,and immortal general kinda ruin the freedom of total war,but the battle and graphics is amazing
yeah except the campaign

4:50 the sergeant become sergeant stanky leg
Great job Apollo you reached 150K😀👍🏻! Have you received your silver play button?
Life of a soldier for the Glitchy Horse Guy
Amazing video Apollo
the marines motto is Semper Fidelis, lead the way is the rangers

Yes
I personally prefer shogun 2 (with all Dlc's) over all the total wars cause the combat system was beautifully done the best system iv'e seen. And the graphics were incredible. The campaign was amazing also. And the multiplayer... The best multiplayer iv'e played for total war
Best battle I've ever seen
when I still played empire I would put about 6 regiments of cannons and have them use canister shot and it would just devastate any unit it hit
What I like about Empire is that the units dont charge in slow motion like in napoleon
Life of a Soldier with the glitchy Dutch guy. Please.
I love the American troops outfits.
O MY GOD 4:56 ITS THE FLYING DUCHMAN
The only thing I don't like about ETW is if your setting are late for timeline France uses the Napoleonic flag but they still wear Empirical French uniforms

Its been a while since you did Empire PA
Finally empire total war i haw WATIED so long

wow we havn't seen empire in a long time.
13:09 In empire, that is how you load every mortar.
thanks Apollo
I think Empire would make a great hotseat imo
Empire Total War? *Coughs out stomach lining*
you finally did empire😃😃😃😃😃
Hey Pixelated Apollo, are you using a mod? If so, what mod is it?
it would be awesome some type of "pirates or colonial war "
Lol what uniforms do you not like? hahaha. Seems to be you like all of em ;)

Love watching your videos. I actually sent you one a few years ago. I love total war, shame I had to sell my pc because of financial issues.
honestly love empire
Glad I got this game on sale instead of full price.
thats why i use canister shot when i play games like this
So proud of being American:)) LOL Keep up with videos, man. And more third age, pretty please? :D
