Haha...well that's what I just did actually. The French don't exist...they rebel a few times but they lose as normal. I have 36 regions under my control and clamour for reform is killing me...i have like 5 techs that still need to be researched then my 6 or 7 universities are behind destroyed...no education for Mother Russia!!! Funny how Spain watched me destroy France while I remained friendly with Spain haha -Phal
Hehe...I still hate doing French homework/projects...etc....
Haha bugs....gotta hate them... In my Russian campaign I have no intentions to invade Poland or Sweden (b/c I have Polish/Swedish/Russian/Irish blood) but I do intent to completely surround their empires with mine lol....that's not intimidating at all. I'm going to send a fleet to the Inuits eventually once I wipe out the Prussians. Morroco is going to die soon too. :) Spain doesn't like me b/c i'm at war with their lover France b/c France attacked my lover Poland (and because I utter
Haha....I've only tested the game for about an hour with the two latest mini-patches. I started as Russia. Its around 1710 maybe idk. I took Ingria from the Swedes and persuaded them into a peace b/c both of us had four enemies (barbary states included). I wiped out Georgia (the country lol) and Dagestan. Crimea...what's that? That never existed in my history lol. Ottomans are about to lose two cities once i start up the game in a few minutes.... Yay!!
[quote]I've had some bizarre auto-resolves, though. Probably ended on the extreme end on the RNG. I remember I didn't want to find some battle, forces were close to evenly matched and a full 20-unit army on each side. I hit auto-resolve, and I won losing only 200-some men, out of ~2.4k. I don't think anyone could pull that off manually.[/quote] My autoresolves when besieging cities are highly disproportional many times. Sometimes its 1500 vs 1500 about and they lose all 1500 and
I auto-resolve everything!!! haha. My laptop is good but it's crashed during battles so I just let the AI do it in a second :)
Other than a few bugs and maybe semi-dumb AI at times its good. Yeah that Greece city I'm not bothering with by sea since Venice has a bigger fleet than me. I don't have a single ship yet and they have about six so efforts would be wasted via sea. And the reason I decided to attack Ottomans was because they had three Cities/Towns in my LOS that had one unit of defense each so I couldn't pass the oppurtunity up. And the Ottomans are spread over 12 (now 10 hehe) territories
[quote]They have an interesting start. No colonies anywhere, no access to water. Plus, you have to make sure Austria sticks around otherwise we wouldn't get our Arnie.[/quote] Actually Austria does start with one Trading Port in the gulf of Italy next to Venice. It's pretty much hidden and I didn't realize I had it until I realized I had a bunch of overseas trading options. But, until expansion they only have one port. For my Austrian story...I'm
Hmm Austria, I have not even started an Austrian campaign. I beat the British campaign on Normal. That was fun but it didn't register it in my stats as a Campain Completed. Maybe in between classes I'll think about the Austrians...
Yes indeed :D
[quote]You can also re-fill your units without having to retreat to a city. So it helps keep the action moving.[/quote] Yes I love this feature...especially in the fight against Indian tribes in the middle of nowhere (Plains Nations??!? who decided to put that there....its the Black Hills and no gold mines...wasn't there a gold strike there once? even though it wasn't founded at the time of the game yet I think....wow I rant good night) -Phal (again)
[quote]I'll give the game a whirl.[/quote] Def worth it...its a great game to study to or read to...do a turn read/study a page... We'll see how well this theory holds up on Monday when I get my Crime and Society test back....gulpage -Phal
If you wait a few years you can read mine. I'm working on one that is an alternate Earth and another is in a series in the future about Mankind following the life of a soldier.
Hey guys, been a while... I'm on a roll with Sweden!!! I kinda abanoned my Brits campaign due to the laggyness...I have 14 territories with the Swedes. I'm allies with Russia but they may be planning an attack. Almost all major powers are friendly or indifferent. Its only 1726ish and my eco is great. The Polish have been wiped out, so have Denmark and the Inuits by me :) Good times. FearlessDefiance, you still on your Brits campaign?
I'm working on a spaceship right now, taking a while!!! My teacher instructed us to make a red blood cell so I didn't and turned it into a spaceship. Really curvy and sleek and HAWT, not sure if I'm uploading it though...depends how it comes out. -Phalnax
Stupid ability. I think it should distribute the levels between the present caps ships. However subtract one from the total levels added and make a max of 2 or 3 levels added per ship. My thoughts -Phalnax
Haha. I have 55 regions now and its 1782. I'm at war with Denmark, Russia, and Venice lol. It just exited out on me mid-naval battle. So gonna have to load the autosave next time I start up. I have 500,000+ credits or money units whatever they use. Florins?
Yes still bugs, still slow loading, some random crashes. Patches are being rolled out, so if you can stand it, wait a month maybe? Maybe by then the price may even go down?
[quote who="ravok2789" reply="11" id="2100512"]ok so is empire total war good? im thinking of getting it [/quote] Yes get it, it's awesome. Some reviews rip some things apart but still give it like a 9/10 or A- or something.
[quote]Supposedly there's a 1v1 campaign with empire, but I wonder how that works...theres only 2 nations in the whole game? Or is it just like a grand campaign with 2 humans controlling different nations? The manual doesn't really clarify it, or much of anything for that matter.[/quote] Nah i read on their website its in Beta form so it's probably buggy or at least not fully functional. Its two players, different nations. They vie for world domination with all the others.
Pshh, Wikipedia, teachers hate when students use that lol so I stay away from it haha.
[quote]Oh, and Phalnax, of course he has an account to play online with! After all, the game requires a Steam account to install.[/quote] Yeah i realized that lol. what I sorta meant was 'do you play online?' i don't play online lol but it'd be cool i guess, i suck though haha
Haha nice, i haven't had a chance to play it. I'm going thru withdrawal lol. Yeah I'm planning to hit either India or Barbary States soon while hitting the cherokee. Should be a fun decade of war ahead of my empire lol. I still can't get France to trade so next time I play it's going to be a focus. Probably a state gift of 2500 each turn lol if I remember I noticed Galleys have like 250 Firepower and only have 4 guns so those must be some strong guns... One l
[quote who="Sole Soul" reply="25" id="2097576"] found themselves in a pickle and it was ripe for the picking (are pickles picked?) A pickly question. [/quote] Haha Yeah I'm making like +34000 a turn. I"m not sure what my total income is but my army upkeep is around 27k and my naval is only about 5k. With the Iroquois down, I'm not on the edge of US-held NY and i need to defend there. So the now 1700 Veterans who wiped our Hurons, Plains Peopl
Lol posting again. I just destroyed the Iroquois and the Swedish. My ally, the Swedish found themselves in a pickle and it was ripe for the picking (are pickles picked?). It took me about 2 years to wipe out the Swedish during the 3 years it took me to wipe out the Iroquois. I have 28 regions under my control. It's 1757 i think. And I'm making ~34,000 a turn. My treasury now is in the 100,000's and growing. Stupid French and stupid Italian States still won't trade and I think Russ
