Went back to revisit Empire, a somewhat flawed gem. It's successors Napoleon and Shogun have surpassed it in every way except scope. (Gotta love that Grand Campaign) When Empire first came out I was amazed by the graphics and my computer could barely handle the lowest settings, now I can crank everything up and things still look a little simple compared to Nappy and Shogun. Not unpleasant but visually games have just come so far in the last few years it's really been left behind. Two Frenchmen practice wrestling holds Charging up the hill Low res textures The captain attempts an escape Cornered

The Dutch East India company vigorously defend their trade interests Fascinating sword you've got there chap, mind if I take a closer look? Overrun Prussian grenadiers Why are Prussia and Poland fighting in Afghanistan? Because this is a Total War game! Advancing over the hill

Thanks, it's a good bit of fun! Swedish artillery No idea why, these two guys decided to detach from their unit and squat down in the middle of the crossfire. CONAN THE SWEDE Tricorns vs Berets Spanish bugler The guys in the second rank look pretty relaxed considering that a thousand angry Austrians are bearing down on them

Certainly not with Darthmod Ultimate Commander which makes Empire the game it should have been from the start ! Both Napoleon and Shogun have a much more limited scope indeed.

I fifth and sixth and seventh it, darthmod really upped the game from OK to good Especially by reworking the atrocious stock AI

By the way I am also using Darthmod for Napoleon Total War, a complete revamp of how AI is fighting, no more easy victories !
