- Опубликовано: 15 мар 2009
- Hey guys, the follow up to my siege tactics on defense. Here I cover how to infiltrate a fort, not what to do after cause if u dont know what to do once ur guys have the walls I cant help u. Forts featured are the western artillery fort and the star fort, as the Marathas and the Ottomans.
Hope you guys learned something and enjoyed, remember to check out my channel and subscribe for more ETW tactical vids. Thanks to all of my subbies.

I know im eleven years late but that cannonball shot into the elephants was fuckin epic.
well i downloaded the game yesterday, i was with george washington at the beginning and i had to attack a well fort defended by the french , i had 4 artillery units and like 14 rush units i failed because all the enemy army hided inside the fort i mean it was like 300 spartan vs 1000 persians. from the 14 units i had only 2 survived. then i got reinforcements and luckily the second time they sunrrenderd ( sorry for my english) . now i have like 7 artillery units and 10 "elite" troops .
Nice
Me and my friend have totally figured a way to take a fort with minimum: 3 cannon, five line and a general.
for very, very little loss. usually about 5/1 odds.
its doable and you dont have to lose much. works for pretty much any fortified city, and works better when the fort is bigger. lol
this is on hard hard.
keen for a vid of it?
just like to say todays my birthday and i got the special edition of this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks, your strategy's are very useful to me
Great job mate
great this is what i asked for very helpful thanks
great vid, everything you said is true! good job
Whenever I have a mortar or rocket, I use it to press the 'trapped' enemy within his own fort. I also spread some light cavalry around the fort just in case the enemy artillery comes out and tries to massacre my undefended army. I blow up the wall using a single cannon to preserve ammo and then attack from all the sides. I also put my infantry on the walls firing inside from behind, to give the max effect of pressure.
While defending, I use the mounted cannons combined with infantry fire.
what if the forts on a hill? how do you position the arty then?
@Preacherjonson Well, i believe sometimes they flee to the center and they instantly gain back all their morale, but if you hold the middle, they will flee when their numbers get down to around 20 - 40 men.
Cool tactics...i sort of do the same...going at 2-3 walls at a time and moving in for the kill.
i havent played this game yet but the tri colour flag was used after the revoloution so maybe they have to revolt?
@Preacherjonson Im not sure about very hard, because it gives AI bonuses, but i've seen units route and have had my own units route on me during sieges, attacking and defending.
the ottoman empire is great for sieges once you get the organ gun its crazy!
@Preacherjonson Well, actually, they do run away, unfortunately i believe they get some sort of morale buff though. I find siege battles relatively easy and fun most of the time, alls you do is focus a large part of your forces on one side and blast them with cannonballs from the front, while you have a select few elite units come from their flank wall, they'll be forced to focus on the larger army because bigger threat so elites can get up and rape them easily.
@bud389 dont know what version you play but ive never seen defenders on the wall run away :/ i only ever manually fight siege battles if im defending because i can lose hardly any men compared to the comp wearas its the other way round attacking :)
What if the piece was brought very close?
given the forts position, the safe area the guns would have to be placed in to keep them safe would've been an inneffective angle, so 1 in 10 shots would hit. even if you did get the artillery in the perfect position, artillery is used for making holes in the walls, for troops to move through, they an't route an entire defensive force, you need to use infantry, or even better, cavalry to storm the gap.
@AudesteFidelis, do you do your vids with a noseblock? Just asking cuz if you are sick... it probably explains why you're so good... XD
What motherboard, PCU and GPU do you have? Im running a single core P4 3.0 Ghz PCU, 8500 GeForce overclocked GPU, and I can run Empire on high, but not with the size of units you have and not with the frame rate...
thanks!
the mortars remind me of Battle LA so much...
How effective would you say cannon is against gates?
I go for cannons cover corner of fort, blow hole in wall, just one, line melee troops across the breach and grenade the guys that attack the melee troops, killed 600 for 100 lost.
even if you do scale the wall successfully what then
please help me when i save my game it crashes
@TalonMercenary Not true, i've seen them several times change tactics after discovering where a hidden unit was, or sending a single unit to try and flank and then get surprised by a few hiding units.
I don't think so. Organ guns are like 6-8 musket-like (maybe more firepower) guns all attached to one fuse and pair of wheels. They had them in Age of Empires 3, but they were a special gun for only one nation.
I feel like they wouldn't be very useful in this game, but they'd still be nice to see.
Are there gatling guns in this?
yo i just but the game 2day but every time i load the damm game it always says error report Empire.exe some1 plz help me i rell want to play this badass game
In my campaign i am now starting to deploy 4 motar batteries per army... and the result is bast the enemy apart while they march toward u...
on the case of a seige battle hammer them so hard that they have to march out and then box in the enemy troops and have them blown apart by musket and cannon then chase down the survivors with cal.
and i don't care what ya say its effective as hell!
star forts lookj gangsta
@bud389 I havent played very hard in a while ive been doing some playthroughs on hard and normal to avoid long battles
cant u send your men to climb the walls with hooks?PS: sorry for late reply
I like to pummel a hole in the wall with cannons then draw the enemy out with cavalry into my infantry set out side the hole creating a bottle neck for the enemy instead of for me
why would the maratha confederacy stand against the United States?
does it download automatically?
whats your favorite faction to use?
coolest accent lol
nice advice
@Preacherjonson Were you playing on very hard?
are puckle guns close enough?
I mortar the fort then wait for the enemy to get tired of the shelling and come out after me. Then I just feed them lead until all the defenders are dead. This of course only works against the AI.
The tactic I use and has never put me down is to simply bomb the shit out of them with 6/8 mortar units. Then they will exit the fort and attack you. At this point you use your 24 pound artillery (3/4) units and let them have it (first round shot, then carcass shot) with infantry in a V shape so even before they hit you artillery they most likely are routing.
is your battles all online? or are they vs the computer?
There are puckle guns, which are similar
Gatling gun vs elephants?
this video has made me realise how shit i am at this.
i just put stakes outside gates 2 stop horse charges and jump the walls.
@JEDikINgZ
That really woulda not done anything lol, get rid of the walls yeah, but still leaves the troops..
your cool
isarely not israeli
@NinjaMike28 yes well sry and well then i dont know use easyer ai maybe dunno sry
when you actually play do you play SLOW MOTiON or just ragular speed?
I'm 12 years too late but I personally like regular speed most
running over the baddys? in the real world they used to haul the heavier cannons
@bud389 ive just defended gibraltar from another spanish invasion and a unit of civilians held the walls until all of them had fallen, trust me they dont run xD
Holy Shit 1 Cannon took out 4 Elephants 0.o
killing, plus if a bull elefant was charging at u would u stand still? lol if u do!
Aw man....aw s***....took out 4 elephants..........Lucky bastards.
hahahahahahahahahah
DONT USE ARTILLERY ON THE WALL IF YOU"RE NOT GOING TO IMMEDIATELY BREACH IT.
The AI jampacks that areas and lags the the map into a crash.
you can not only have mortars rockets can you have too
@Preacherjonson That's completel BS, yea, they might get in more kills because of the slow climbing, and lack of more numbers at once, but grenadiers can take out militia, unless you mass 3-4 units on that side to swarm them, in which case they would've lost even if they weren't on the walls.
There should be Organ Guns though.
i guess the puckle gun counts
Siege battles are rather awful in ETW, although you can beat them, you have to sacrifice like 1/2 ur army to do so. Back in mtw2 n rome, it was so simple....
The galting gun was not invented until the American Civil War. I'm pretty sure this game only covers the American Revolution.
@bitchfight8888 the walls in E:TW are the only places where militia can defeat grenadiers its really not worth it
you sound a bit like stallone!
shouldv left the artillery do the work
ok plz reply ok heres my prob wit seige I MAKE A FUCKEN WALL AND MY GUYS NEVVVERRR GO TRHOUGH IT LIKE WTF
