    To explain about Empire Total War.
    It has IMO, the best campaign game of all the Total War games, so although the land battles are possibly some of the worst in the series, the campaign is a lot of fun. The technology really empowers your troops, the economy is vibrant, the balance is good, and the diplomacy feels relevant. The sea battles are really good too, and the entire period is pretty interesting, with a large world involved.
    Even though the land battles are not the best, they don't require you to micro manage your way to success, as much as some other titles do. So us older slower players like that as well.

    It is a little known fact that the giant pigeons of Britannia were hunted to extinction during the medieval era. However in due to the rare nature of the species even back then the Knights who hunted them would embellish the stories of these hunts, claiming the pigeons were covered in scales and breathed fire. As a result few historical records hold accurate information about the appearance of this once great species.

    In this guide you will learn how to:
    Copy and paste text using a Windows 10 computer
    You’ll need:
    A computer with Microsoft Word installed. Follow these step-by-step instructions to copy and paste text using Microsoft Word for Windows 10.
    Step 1: Open an existing Word document or start a new document and type your text. You can find Word using Cortana or search for it in the search bar or Windows list of programs.
    Step 2: To copy text, it will need to be selected or highlighted with the mouse first. When the mouse pointer is moved over a text area, the pointer will change from an arrow to a ‘text select’ or ‘I-beam’ icon.
    Step 3: Select your text so that it’s highlighted.
    Step 4: Copy the text by clicking on the copy icon at the left-hand side of the formatting ribbon.
    Step 5: Use the mouse to move the cursor to where you wish to paste the copied text.
    Step 6: Click Paste to insert the copied text in its new place in your text.
    Step 8: Your text will now be duplicated in the new position in your document.
    Step 9: Once text is highlighted, it’s also possible to copy and paste it using a keyboard shortcut instead of the mouse, which some people find easier. To copy, press and hold Ctrl (the control key) on the keyboard and then press the C on the keyboard. To paste, press and hold down Ctrl and then press V.

      I like it a lot as well. If I'm in the mood to play a total war game I choose it over the rest of the total war games. I do agree the map feels a bit too much for Britain, but it's not as bad once you realize that you are supposed to have allies/vassals and not conquer the entire map since the game mechanics pretty much guarantee bankruptcy if you do. And I feel like it's the only TW game where your allies don't backstab you every single game or has stupid insane factions that war declare on you for no reason every game like the wood elves in Warhammer that declare war on you when you are trying to save the world from Chaos, I don't know what their problem is.

      It wouldn't fit the setting though, viking age UK pre-england is basically just a bunch of tribes and petty kings fighting over bits of land.

    • @camulodunon
      @camulodunon 2 года назад

      Nah, the brittania expansion of med 2 felt really empty. The factions are lacking in numbers even compared to the relatively sparse factions in this game and instead of being split up into a bunch of kingdoms under certain culture groups they're all just clumped up into Wales, Ireland, Scotland, Norway, England. It makes no sense and leads to a campaign map that feels way too empty. I guess the biggest advantage it has over this game is that each faction tends to have more differentiation from the others in terms of units (and therefore playstyle) but even then that's only barely.

    I think Rome I and Warhammer are the top titles because the factions feel so different to each other, so the experience changes as play each one, or even as a single faction but where you start encountering different types of armies. Plus you can imagine all the huge number of combinations of pitting x against y. The art comes a lot into it as well, it's not like a third of the romans dressed in green and all the carthaginians dressed in white, and the britons in blue but it really helps in creating a unique feel to each faction just through using colour with artistic licence.
    This game seems to do all of these things badly for the sake of historical realism and 'grittiness', and normally I'm a huge fan of 'grittiness' but you're right, here it just seems boring.

    The setting is just odd. For a fully viking total war they should have included Scandinavia, and northern France and Germany in addition to the British isle's. A big problem I see is that there is no "invasion" so to speak, nobody is defending against any foreign threat. There's no invasion of(or by) the Roman Empire or a marauding horde of chaos from the north. No real "central conflict" so to speak. For an English/British focused game they could have done something like the invasion of William the conqueror or the War(s) of the Roses. I have only played TW:WH 1 & 2 so that's certainly not an educated opinion.

    "Whilst the battles and mechanics seem okay" hol' up my dear fellow. Whilst I appreciate the new mechanics,the battles are far from "ok".Exactly like in Attila the battles to me feel devoyed of any impact or satisfaction. They took the juice out of cav charges since Shogun 2 and never cared to put it back in , the units just hack at each others healthbars rather than at the enemy infront of them, and bows are basically almost negligable since they even have a hard time dropping the approx. 3 units in this game that couldn't get their hands on some shields. Let 2 bow units fight each other and enjoy the shitshow for ten minutes or so. Yeah the 85 accuracy bow warrior monks from shogun were a bit much but that doesn't mean you have tomake all future bows shoot into the stratosphere rather than the general direction of the enemy.

People just became fucking entitled with Shogun "im not allowed to critizice it" 2 and their arrows, who are to this day OP, because in shogun 2 the units were unrealistic wide, so you had less a problem of friendly fire. now bowman will stop fighting their own troops, if they block the enemy....same in warhammer, just on a fucking sidenote, but there you can fire of giants to prevent this problem....in the past everyone KNEW that you had to circle your enemy to kill them effective without friendly fire on your own troops. to claim, that bowman became shit in recent total-war games just highlights, that you dont really give a fuck about total-war and demands a modern rome total war without bugs, graphics of 2050 and all features of newer games without destroying balance problems. next you gonna drink your milk from your egg laying wool growing pig.
      AND dont get me starting on "the cav charge has a lack of juice" bullshit, while the animation is LITERALLY the same in Rome 2 and everyone called it shit. yes, your basic cav get destroyed by an spea runit, cant believe it, even wors eif your charge right in the front of them. but this didnt happend in shogun 2 with the same basic light cav. that you get at the start? oh, you replace it after just 5 turns minimum with special cav and never moved back for the next 200 games? well good for this great diversity in gameplay.
      Shogun2 without DLCs, the main-campaign, was one of the simples, less diverse gameplays in the whole total war sage, the building mechanics were laughable easy and stringent, 90% of the siege maps were boring, often with garrison always winnable against full stack, if you know your cheese and thereby alwaysthe same. the battle maps were nearly identical and people liked it, because it was so fucking easy to win and feel good about it.
