Re: Official 'Empire: Total War' Thread

Um, Napoleon defeated the russian army by a landslide, he lost to the winter not the russians.

[PiEdude]

They used the Scorched Earth strategy to defeat the French.
If they hadn't, the French would have had warm cities and supplies to use during the winter.

They've always been good at using their climate against their enemies.

[PiEdude]

Just finished a battle against the Swedish Rebels(I killed the nation of Sweden a long time ago, but now every once in a while they pop back up in a rebellion) and I recorded it too.

I'll post later, but the end was pretty good, because I got a great shot of a Swedish Light Infantry regiment marching towards their doom as shells and incindiary shells rained down on them.

[PiEdude]

Just beat the Georgian Rebels.

They had 6 regiments of Militia, and two artillery batteries, and I had two regiments of Line Infantry, and one regiment of the Russian Militia Cavalry(The name is in Russian, and I forget how to spell it).

[Dud Doodoo]

After the latest patch I have spotted two undeniable naval invasions, as well as a possible one? Take a look.




And in progress?


"We are also making a huge improvement to the number of visual variants within a unit from 8 to 64..."
I can't wait for this, it will finally get rid of the clones!

Currently I have started a new campaign as Venice(modded) and have united Italy under one banner, and have taken all of Greece, Istanbul, and Turkey, along with a bit of North Africa.

[PiEdude]

I have about 18 turns left, and have taken most of Europe as the Russkies.

LONG LIVE THE MOTHERLAND!!!

[Dud Doodoo]

I've changed it to 12 turns a year, I got tired of feeling like I was on a deadline.

[KristallNacht]

this reminds me




*loads up a ETW torrent*

[Cheese]

Wow that really is a large middle finger to everyone on here whop paid for it.

[Dud Doodoo]

Yeah, not that I don't pirate, but you shouldn't download games that are worth the fucking money...

[KristallNacht]

eh, technically its not worth the money, as I am in no way willing to spend said money on said item.

So either, i never experience it, or i experience it. I'm pretty sure the developers would rather have it experienced than not.

[Cheese]

Why don't you try not experiencing for a year or so?

So when all these experiences that weren't worth paying for all suddenly go away, you start to find yourself lacking - you play those few that you think are worth paying for, but it's just not enough. And then you might realise that what you classify as 'worth it' changes when you don't have the world on a plate, lacking in any viable security.

Orrrrrrr... you could just not steal it out of respect for those who did buy it. As I said, middle finger. I didn't even save up allowance or anything. I had to work like 2 days - and I still think it was worth it when it broke!

[Dud Doodoo]

It broke?

[RX]

You really need to start taking care of your disks, Cheese....

[Cheese]

You really need to start taking care of your disks, Cheese....

They're all digitally distributed.

[Dud Doodoo]

No they are not, I have it on disk. I think what you mean is that if you have the game registered on Steam, you can download it as many times as you want.

Yeah then uh, how did it break?

[Cheese]

No they are not, I have it on disk. I think what you mean is that if you have the game registered on Steam, you can download it as many times as you want.

By 'they' I meant my broken games he was referring to in another thread as well as this. Bough em all from Steam. And it's the save that's broken. I've tried it across a few computers too. Every time the Huron confederacy declare war on me or me on them - crashage at a random year. I tried being allies for a while... but they look such an easy target with such desirable land...

[PiEdude]

I just used some Game Stop gift cards I had from my birthday, had enough to buy the Collectors Edition.

[KristallNacht]

And then you might realise that what you classify as 'worth it' changes when you don't have the world on a plate, lacking in any viable security.

Or, as i currently only use video games to fill time, as opposed to actively engage in, I'd just keep playing my older games.

That's fine. Try that for a while then. I'd say a year - but sixth months if you're not feeling up to it.

Then start a new campaign, have you tried it on the latest patch?

[Cheese]

Yes, and I would, but I don't wanna go another eighty turns just to have it break again.

[KristallNacht]

That's fine. Try that for a while then. I'd say a year - but sixth months if you're not feeling up to it.

Better yet, i'll give you from mid September to mid February with ~10 days even using forms of technology.

So you're saying that it'd be hard and stupid?

Well that happens to be my point. Before you said youd just go back to playing your old games, wheras now I'm almost 100% you'd buy something else to tide you over. And the difference between the two propositions, is that my one is what most people (including most on the forum) are doing anyway.

[KristallNacht]

So you're saying that it'd be hard and stupid?

I actually just said i'd one up you and do more.


why would i spend money on videogames when i can go out on my motorcycle (which requires money and provides more thrills?
