Here's a review with some good screen shots.

Well after dealing with my flooded flat during the day on Friday, I finally sat down and got the game installed after heaps of hassles from the STEAM program, terrible program.

But got it going in the end and I must say it was worth the wait.

Huge map from previous titles, has got Europe, Middle east, India and America.

Great Tech research, Recruiting North America Indians into your Armies.

The land battles are very epicish in scope, lots of canons and musket smoke followed by the cling of swords and bayonets. I also enjoy how horses take second fiddle in this era

The long awaited naval battles are great to look at. Though I've only done and few (and got my arse handed to me lol) the detail is amazing, people running on deck and wood flying everywhere!

Only played it for a short time, but with a few patches I think this one is gonna be a classic

Highly recommended to any TW fan out there, if you're new to the series I suggest trying Rome or Medieval II first. Demo is on Steam if you wanna try.

There are some annoying little bugs with Empire still, mostly pathing issues. For some reason one of the Great Lakes crossings don't work, so I've got some of my army stranded on the Canadian frontier. The AI also doesn't know how to mount an assault via sea, so once you control a theatre, you can run with it virtually no garrison. Great to pump out troops to send to other theatres. It also means as Great Britain, you never have to worry about your home soil being attacked.
There are some great features though, and the interactive land battles are even better again. Sea battles leave a lot to be desired though...
I also like it how you can no longer just fund your army by sacking your way through the map, trade is very important. I also like it how you can now see what affects your diplomacy with other counties - it was always a mystery in the past.

Medievil 2/Kingdoms for me!

That expansion pack is bloody amazing - I hate to think how many hours have been spent on that ... brittania, crusades ect

**Indiana_Jones** · 18th November 2009, 17:20

Yea Empire still has some bugs at v1.5, but no where as bad as it was. Also the enemy uses naval invasions to some degree now lol.

And MTW2 Kingdoms is a wicked add on. one of the best.

Napoleon looks good, but I shall not buy on release. I shall save my money and get SH5 instead
