Empire Total War

[ZERO]

Actually you should follow those instructions I told you to stop b/c that is not what I did but I am running 7 not xp.

I have now taken spain in my last 3 turns however two nations declared war on me before I even got to spain lol. One was some random one territory indian and the other was that little nation below France who I believe may be launching a large inviason force to take England (which is completed un defended). I hope the united province fleet will stop them b/c I only have two sloops in Europe but hey now the game would not be fun if it is so easy for me to just roll over who ever I want. What gets me is I really would like to just finish off the people who are at war with me and have peace for a time.

At least I got a good trade agreement with Russia now. Now summer of 1709 with 13 territories.

Does anyone know if I take the other territory in spain will they fall or do I now need to get Portugal (Spain invaded them)

really well done vid.



playing as spain right now... kinda hard being half in the new world and half in the old world, but fun so far.

whats the deal with the cities n shit though. I got places with millions of ppl living in them... yet then I go into battle mode and it shows like 3 buildings, and a wall around them.... I don't understand this. in medi you had a huge ass settlement when you were attacked... something that looked like it was actually possible 2 house the masses... do the towns and citys ever look good in this game, or they always small little places with like 3-5 buildings?

In order to eliminate a faction, you must take out every territory they hold in their home theater, for spain, this means you must take italy, that island (cant for the life of me remember the name) granada, and every single territory they take in europe, what will happen when they fall is that, all of their islands will become pirate territories, and each individual territory they hold will either become rebels, or depending on location become independent nations (ex. Mexico)

Well at least I now know that I really am going to go though WWI to end this... fuck I really did not want to conquer Europe. However I have now been left with no choice. Europe, America, and the Caribbean are mine I will now need to plan how I am going to kill all of those territories. Luckily I will have fire by rank in the next 10 turns and that should basically triple my attack power. I will kill off the rest of Spain in Spain and push east on two fronts to take Europe. I will now need a navy in order to take control of the mediation. Therefore I will now try to move into a defensive position in Europe and take America first so I can have more resources.

I am really fucked now b/c I only attacked Spain thinking that I just needed to take the land in Spain to destroy the empire.

only way to stop the fighting... halt your advances... take no territories... instead focus on increasing defensive positions ie: forts towns etc... and send small bands of soldiers (i like 1 horse artilary and 1 line infantry) and just attack their little towns and trade routes (you can attack land trade routes by simply clicking on the road which they have trade) this will corrupt them economicly, forcing them to spend money on troops they cannot afford due to complete lack of production and trade.

Continue to hold where you are... try not to lose a single battle you enter (that goes without saying i think) and every turn try to get the best Vice pres (or w/e it is for england) so that you have improved diplomatic relations... from this by just holding and increasing production values of your own territories you will gain powerful commerce and be a valuble trade asset. which you will take the money you have and offer treaties to border nations... it will take several years for it to work but it does in the end... once territorial expansion is no longer a problem for your diplomatic relations you should be able to establish good relations... and from humble beginings you will be able to become a industrial giant and be on the verge of taking out massive territories and quickly seize the entire world.

Funny I noticed this quote in the game by Jefferson and I was thinking it did not sound like something he would have said so I looked it up and sure enough it is a Franklin quote: “The Constitution only gives people the right to pursue happiness. You have to catch it yourself.” How do you fail on pasting quotes into a game rofl!

I'm enjoying this game especially since I've always been a Revolutionary War buff back when I was a kid and growing up in Boston and visiting places like Bunker Hill, Plymouth Plantation, Lexington-Concord etc etc etc. I'm doing the Independence campaign where I'm focusing solely on fortifying all 13 states. Mainly focusing on New York on my defenses when the French want to take over Canada so they don't leak onto the states. I was making a fatal mistake of building in Boston, and not taking advantage of the Brits low defenses in Maine. After figuring it out after 2 tries, I've taken most of the north and heading next to Philly to take out the Brits from PA, VA, SC, NC, etc. Focusing on Naval, I fortified Allies with the Frenchies and the Spaniards. Once I use them to take out the Brits fleets, I'll take out the French from the West Indies and make ties with the Spaniards. Then backstab the Spaniards and take any remaining islands I can take in the West Indies.

Well I think I might just start a new game. Show cpu moves was turned off somehow and then a nation that does not have any ships lands a huge army on an island!

Too lazy to read through so many pages..
