"The Battle For Berlin" Empire Total War POLAND-LITHUANIA Darthmod 40 Unit - Episode 12

Time to attack the Prussian capitol and hopefully knock them out of existence.
Empire Total War POLAND-LITHUANIA Darthmod 40 Unit - Episode 12
"The Battle For Berlin"
I love playing older games with Mods. Helps to breath new life into games I have enjoyed playing in the past. Hope you also enjoy the "epicness" this mod brings to Empire Total War. The Darthmod launcher settings I used for this playthrough are: 2 turns per year (only option with the 40 Unit Saves version), 1.5 x artillery, grenades enabled, research rate normal, no forts (can not build any new forts), and large deployment zone.

Empire: Total War is a turn-based strategy and real-time tactics video game developed by Creative Assembly and published by Sega. The fifth installment in the Total War series, the game was released in 2009. The game, focuses on the early modern period of the 18th century.
Players choose an 18th-century faction and set out to achieve domination over the known world through military force, diplomacy, espionage and economics. The interface and play are similar to earlier Total War titles: although the campaign element of the game is turn-based, players can direct battles in real-time. Empire: Total War is the first game in the series to allow naval battles to be conducted in real-time.

Hi ZigZag
just one point with Darthmod 40 units you will only get reinforcements when you drop below 20 units during a battle
always try and get all your troops in and don't expect reinforcements unless you loose a lot of units

That's a very good point that I don't always pay attention to. It's a situation where you have reinforcements available, but you hope you don't ever see them. :-)

With the fall of Hannover to Saxony, your western border is pretty safe now, since saxony would make a good buffer with the Western European powers for now. An alliance with Bavaria could help in this regard too.
I’d consider expansion down to the Italian peninsula or begin a war with the ottomans.
Honestly I’d try to pick up the United provinces overseas territories then try to get peace with the United provinces proper (if you conquered Amsterdam, it would be an enclave outside of your empire that would be fairly difficult to defend compared to your other core empire provinces) .
I’d let France eat the United provinces, retain your safe border with your buffer state saxony then push into the Ottoman Empire or Italian peninsula. Just my opinion though

[@zigzagzoghistorical]

Might be a good time to try and end the war with United Provinces. Some other small independent state alliances might also be nice as a buffer too. Possibly Venice, possibly Bavaria as you stated. And I feel that I will probably go against the Ottomans next. I feel their presence on the southern border poses a larger immediate threat than either Sweden or Russia, since they are busy squabbling with each other. We'll see how the Ottoman conflict plays out. I might be satisfied for the short term with just pushing them back past Istanbul.
You have some good thoughts. Thanks for the comment.

[@paulreynolds8410]

PS I agree with Josh try looking to your South but remember if you take out the Ottomans and Denmark takes over Sweden, Russia has nowhere to expand and you will look tasty.

[@zigzagzoghistorical]

That is totally true. And Denmark is starting to send units toward the Swedish capital, so I need to pay attention. That's why I'll probably try for more of a quick hit against the Ottomans to try and drive them past Istanbul, then reassess the European situation. One can never count on all the other major nations playing nice. I've had a playthrough where the British backstabbed me with a naval invasion in the north.
