I'd prefer they abandon separate unlockable elite units and focus on experience based promotions that allow any regiment to eventually become a famous "elite" unit. A regiment that performs plenty of heroic actions (successful bayonet charges against superior enemy numbers, holding ground against intense fire, etc...) or reaches enough milestones could either retain their earned buffs as that regiment or be reorganized into an iconic "Elite Unit" of history for that faction.

Empire 2 or a Victoria Total War are honestly the only two options I'm excited for in a new historical title. I feel like Napoleon was the last game in which battles felt truly large-scale, fitting for its period. No game since has managed to match the sense of scale that Empire and Napoleon did. I'd argue they've been progressively going in the opposite direction, with significantly smaller and shorter battles.

It has the most potential. Top 5 things they need to change: 1. Conscription/volunteer mechanic that can be turned off for players that don't want it. For players that do want it, an army loss is a huge defeat and it is more realistic. 2. New Map. Add Africa and Asia. Both are valuable in the 1700s and will make Empire 2 feel more unique. 3. Improved economic system. Restructure of trade and tariffs primarily but also a mechanic to hire privateers. 4. Navy and army combined attacks. This includes mortar ships that will bombard forts 5. Good uniforms and art. Empire's art and uniforms were garbage and an eye sore.

One can only dream. It was my first total war game and I remember it fondly, very much so

God, I wish we could actually get an Empire II 🤤

This era, renaissance, victorian, pretty much anything involving early to modern gunpowder up until aviation warfare, is my favorite time period. So I hope they do make another Empire Total War.

Fort battles should include trenches and multiple layers of defense like actual forts of the time.

Loved the province system in Empire and Shogun 2. Don't know what they were thinking with newer titles.. Good video 👍

I mean... Now that they figured out how to mod the campaign map in Atilla, perhaps we can make our own Empire 2.

I would LOVE to see Empire encompass the era from early gunpowder (1500, Spanish Tercios) through the 1600-1700s, and then into the 1800s, large range of time I know, and a time of significant tactical and technological development, but also many similarities in those areas as well. ... But watching and experiencing the progression of tactics and technology and strategies moving through that era would be so fascinating!!

Empire's campaign map is the best in any total war game hands down. The naval aspect was truly amazing. I know people didn't like the naval combat but once you got the hang of it I started looking forward to them more than land battles. At first it's a chaotic mess, but you can give structure to the naval battles with proper formations. Empire 2 would definitely be on the top of the list for the next historical TW game. Followed closely by a medieval 3.

First and foremost I think the biggest thing that needs to be emphasized in an Empire 2 is that this is an Age of Revolution. You should always feel like you are sitting on a giant powder keg. They could also extend the timeline a bit to include both the Scramble for Africa and the Great Game.

I still don't understand why they don't release or announce Empire 2. Every one of my friends who likes Total War wants it desperately. If it ever comes out, I hope sea battles will return in all their glory. WE NEED THIS.

I'd like to see: -Actual siege warfare with sapping, siege guns, and breaches. -Turns being two weeks instead of 6 months. -Coordination mechanics, especially as warfare evolves into the Napoleonic period and armies get larger, being able to send out scouts in front of an army and order multiple corps to take different routes and converge simultaneously or in succession instead of only being able to order one unit at a time. You could kind of set up this type of action in Empire, but it was clunky. -Choosing retreat distance and direction unless it's after a major defeat.

I still dont know if I'd rather have Medieval 3 or Empire 2

Just started playing ck2 for the fist time, story cut short creative assembly has to talk to paradox the grand strategy and empire maneging is amazing.

If there is a plan for empire 2 they better start with a napoleon 2 first, so they can fuck up and experiment with the smaller one instead of the other way around, again.

I hope they can represent accurately how campaigns were operated in that era; supply systems, reconnaissance, reinforcements, and most importantly the order of battle & the command structure; having battalions/regiments be the primary unit of maneuver being a part of brigades>divisions>corps>field armies, etc., with their appropriate generals. To me this is an aspect that being unrealized really leaves much to be desired when it comes to immersion in games based in this era. I hope the devs take inspiration from some notable campaigns and how they played out with all the maneuvering, FoW, and the order & phases in which battles were fought.

My first total war and my most played game ever

it's simply the best time period and setting for any total war game IMO. I love the warfare, the units, the time period, the uniforms. It needs a proper sequel.

love the video. Like to see some more minor playable factions with their own historical uniforms. Adding Holy Roman Empire schenario/arc would be fantastic.

WE deserve an Empire 2.

About battle AI: given than military tactics in the 18th-19th centuries were focused on the 'geometry'' of units formations (squares, lines, columns...) I would like battles to reflect that a bit more, so that units should feel like you are almost playing with geometric shapes. This would also possibly help the battle AI to improve, as it would have a smaller range of options for unit formations. In Napoleon, I remember that almost always the best way to get battles done was to form a line as large and thin as possible so everybody could shoot.

If they make a empire 2. Not only have naval battles have to return. They also have to slow down land battles again. This is maybe just me. In warhammer they just feel so quick. You always have to pay attention to what happens. While also true for empire total war. At least I felt I had more time just watching my army fight.

It would be great that the round system changes for multiplayers, so that 5+ players could play on one server for a set of time (1-2 weeks) while the gameplay time is going slowly starting at (let's say 1700 and finishes in 2 weeks at let's say 1815-20...); and while you are on your diplomatic map creating new buildings, units, relations, etc. you can zoom into a current stage of events (battle) to make decisions within the battle field and zoom out again if necessary

If it ever happens, hope they add the whole world!

It'd be fun if they did one that took you from the late medieval period up into the industrial revolution- roughly 1450-1800 or 1850. It'd be good to show how technologies changed during that period and how that affected the battlefield and military tactics. The original Empire did this quite well, but the relatively narrow focus on the 18th century meant that for most factions the units you finished the game with were usually just improved versions of the ones you had near the start. You spent the majority of the campaign churning out Line Infantry as you pretty much had to use them for most of your army, regardless. Broadening the time period would make you adapt your tactics and approach more as the game progressed, reflecting the real history. You'd start with relatively small armies of armoured knights and archers, then move into the 'pike and shot' era, ending up with much larger gunpowder armies and linear warfare. An earlier starting time would also allow you to incorporate the 'Age of Discovery'. One of the best things about Medieval II was when you realised late on that you could actually sail to the New World and encounter the Aztecs- the sense of adventure and exploration was great. More like that would be incredible, especially if you could unlock some of the historically colonised civilisations as playable factions and try to create alternate histories where they could resist invasion and maybe even turn the tables on the colonisers- e.g. if the Incas could defeat Pizarro, buy ships from the Dutch and use them to invade Spain...

They have mentioned a trilogy of historical games being the next big thing, I would love to start with Pike and Shot, have "Empire 2" be the middle game, and then end on Victorian. Expand the map a little each game until it is global in the third, or at least has major theaters to travel between. Real naval warfare would be a must.

To not mention the list of other things people in the comments have already mentioned, I wish that A) We'd get three campaigns: two global maps in 1700 & 1836, and a Europe map in 1618. B) These maps come out 1.5 to 2 years apart so to not repeat the mistake of Three Kingdoms having too many time periods released so quickly and none being super polished.

Something I've always found lacking in Total War was that logistics were totally missing in land campaigns, and that scouting, and vanguards weren't a thing. I want attacks on baggage trains, hit and run tactics and (anti-)scouting action which make campagin movement important and hazardous and add more flavor than just "2 full stacks of army meet in the middle, big fight".

it feels to me that, if CA will go forward with a new engine for the next gen of sequels, they HAVE to do medieval first for proof of concept. We can see hints of an elementary attempt at city-building in TWH3 with the siege tactics, and I think city-building is a necessary next step in the game's completeness. That being said, it would be a seemingly easier test-case to introduce city-building via medieval setting due to the relative simplicity of the building materials / tactics.

The thing I loved about Empire was it was the first and probably the only total war game that had my country in it where they were not this all powerful god tier lvl.

Ultimate Admiral: Dreadnaughts kinda fills the Empire/Victoria Total War niche right now, I advise ppl to give it a look. It's only naval battles, no land battles, but they are very detailed and the entire world is represented on the campaign map.

Shogun 2 had stuff like this that I’d love to bring back - provincial specialties like Naval Traditions or Schools, and events like a foreign missionary or infrastructure development affecting public happiness or settlement growth via ports, farms etc. Naval Bombardments and Marines getting involved are two things I’d like in a new Empire entry

Fall of the Samurai kind of returned to that time period or at least a very similar technology base. I felt personally it felt like a good example of what Empire 2 could've been. I'm just not sure if they'll ever return to that

The dream is that CA have been secretly working on the title since warhammer 1 launched and has a fully polished Empire 2 ready to go this year… I said it was only a dream.

Man, you are such a underrated youtuber dude. Love your vids.

love everything you just said, I still play empire total war to this day like 10,000 hours worth of game play .....well maybe not that much but does feel like it

Authentic world-spanning map and limitless modding capacity will do for me

Empire 2 is the total war game I've been craving for a very long time now. I definitely have a different wish list than you, but I'd be happy with most of the improvements you've outlined. I really likes the province system from three kingdoms, as well as rome 2's blending of navy and land, combine that with the line infantry tactics of the day and earth shattering events (american and French revolutions, maybe some family dynamics à la CK2) and I think CA could make an absolute juggernaut of a game.

We now need a musket/rifle time period. It has been years. With big scale campaign and battle maps

I have always been waiting for a empire 2. Only total war game to have world map, and I have always had such a fondness for that time period! I really hope empire 2 happens

Napoleonic era's one of my favorite, but if there will be games around this era I'll be ok with that too.

I agree with the expectations 100% i hope such a thing will come to fruition.

We NEED an Empire 2 seriously! It would be total war's biggest selling game yet im sure!

An Empire 2 made like this would be a dream

Land sea battle mix. Being able to shell anfort from the sea would be a game changer.

Empire is arguably my favourite Total War game but I would love a Total War game set in the late 19th Century i.e Crimea, Scramble for Africa etc

Takk for en inspirerende video! I would love to see a new empire with a real focus on how different and unique the factions and struggles was during this period, and show how long lasting these rivalries and wars was at this time. With a lot of freedom on how to play, at the same time having major events that will force you to act based on the circumstances. - With a focus on the continuous struggle between france, prussia, and austria on who can control the german states. (United germany with prussia, french vasal german confederation or larger austrian empire) - The deluge and the david and goliath fight between russia and sweden (showing two comparable, but totally different factions at war, with a split and chaotic poland clinging to power, while fighting the former mentioned and the cossacks). Russia playing the long game, while sweden and poland having high stakes and short time period to win. - Smaller factions that want independence, but need to pick a side to have a chance, like cossacks, wallachians, moldovans and german states. Having to supply tribute and men to their vasal lords, or fight an uphill scheming battle for independence. - A real balance of power system that sees factions team together to stop anyone from being to powerful, or attacking a faction that is losing a war, to get land and resources during peace negotiations (like the silesian wars, deluge, great northern war). - Ethnic groups always being an important factor, with rebellions and having to keep each group happy or suppressed if you have an empire or multiethnic nation. With the ability to grant autonomy or fund rebellions. - Unique strength and weaknesses like russia with large army, but weak at beginning and with a large land to protect. Sweden with well equipped elite veteran army and effective, but risky army doctrine, low population, hard to defend and few allies. Poland with best cavalry in europe, but internally fragile with opportunist subjects and nobles and powerful enemies incroaching from the start. Austria having consolidated control and influence over neighbours and strong military, but overstretched, diverse populations, constant conflict with strongest powers. - A focus on army supplies, with the ability of attacking enemy supply line with light units. Also to prevent the ability of directly going to the enemy capital in a few turns. To do a major invasion you need to save up or steal enough supplies, or risk catastrophe. And holding territory you need a functioning and constant supply line and garrisons. - More focus or raiding and protecting smaller settlements, factories, ports and food supply. This makes forts and their strategic placement crucial, and is a major bargaining chip at peace negotiations. And ofcourse the ability to do scorched earth when you are desperate to hinder an invitation. - For sea powers there should be the ability to set up small or big blockades, forcing the weaker sea faction to try to break it, ignore it and stop major trading or try to trade through the blockade if the blockade is spread out. All with totally different consequences. - Engineers should be a big factor, from building fortifications, trenches, bridges for armies river crossing, siege mines and other siege equipment. Loss of important roles like engineers and officers and generals are hard to replace and will consiterebly weaken the army and need time and funds to be replaced. - More freedom in choices, ability to cut corners in desperate times, like with having low trained troops to boost recruitment time and numbers, less firearms and more pikes for cheap equipped army, worse uniforms and boots to save funds (no winter clothing to save cost), low rations/bad rations to save food. And drastic measures as stealing critical food from population, binding farmers to their landlords to have more control or mass drafting to scrape your nation of manpower in a total war. And ability to choose where to recruit, like if you want to rely on your vassals to keep your population happy, with the risk of angry, low moral, treacherous vassals. - Last, have the ability to be conquered and keep playing, either having to give land, play as a new subjugate ally, vassal or incorporated ethnic group ready to revolt or change allegiance.

If there can be a bridge between the mechanics of Empire and Europa 4…that would be an amazing game. Consequences to both warfare and diplomacy on a massive scale

One thing I do hope they take from Empire, is the huge battlefields. With room to actually manouver and skirmish and stuff, even with very big armies and many players

Tw reformation/empire2/Victoria will be amazing

hears an idea just slap on total war combat in vic 3 for combat. Boom, everyone will now be happy with combat and well get our new total war

Empire has a special place in my heart, and just as the original game heralded a new era for Total War at the time, so too could an Empire 2. If we get Medieval 3 next as a sort of culmination of this generation of TW games, taking the best things from 3K and Troy and Attila and Rome 2 (and maybe even some lessons from Warhammer), Empire 2 could follow as a new horizon. I genuinely think seeing naval battles make a comeback would be just as exciting as seeing them debut for the first time.

They could implement two different map modes. One for big scale battles and a good overview and one with a lot of smaller towns and smaller units. You will have the choice to use your whole army or only detachments. Example for romans: Use one or more legions or use cohortes or even centuries. You can decide then as well to play as a general or start as a leader of a small unit. With experience, you can get promoted and command more men. Napoleon did not start as a commander of the grande armée, he started as an artillery officer.

A feature that I would really like would be weather & status accurate skins for your units - for example impact of your state beeing bad in finance leeding to worn down uniforms and maybe even having impact on equipment quality & stats -or bad weather battles having units wearing coats and stuff. Apart from that I would really like to see more realistic battle mechanics like we found them in the NAP Toal war 3 mod. And for battles I would suggest 3 types of scale. Skirmish, Engagement and full scale Battle. These could differ like you chose a different rank of leader - for Skrimish beeing Brigadier General, for Engagement beeing Division General and for Full Scale battle be it on Marshal/General Major. These then could have historic characters and sub General units with each special capeabilitys on the field - so each army could be really unique in how it behaves in battle and on campaign map. I aswell imagine that you could establish regiments - who then could have battalions - each battalion beeing a bit bigger in size then the company sized units in NTW and ETW. For City Fights I think Rome 2 and Atilla did some cool things - I would really love the charge on a city district even if its partial displayed - with or without any armorments - like we have it in Rome 2 - civilist city, militaristic city something like that :) diplomacy needs to be improved a bit on the campaign map. Computer steered countrys do very often take stupid decissions & interaction/influence is somewhat functioning randome. Also I would love more variety in characters on the campaign map & more options for diplomacy overall like we finde it for ex. in Shogun 2. Also production of goods and weapons could be a bit more diverse/unique per region. Thats it :D

The ultimate total war would be one that combines the economy of victoria 2 (havn't played viky3 so thats the one I know) with the zoomed in battles we know and love, with a full world map, with customizable provinces with the entire history to play through and also being able to choose at which point in history to start like CK2, maybe its too much to ask, and maybe too hard to monetize and balance but dam it would be awesome. An idea on how to monetize would be to sell like the one time in history which would be most popular first like the middle ages maybe and then release previous and future times as DLCs

The naval battles are what made empire really stand out. I would play a whole game just based on the naval feature

I would love to see a pike and Shot total war.

I liked how I needed to manually replenish units for money. Too bad they made it auto-replenishment. It just doesn't feel right. But we also need a manpower pool from which we can recruit and replenish.

I doub't they'll do it, but active trading like the cathay caravans from Warhammer3 might be the best System for trade in Empire 2: You send out a convoi of merchantment/tradeships/gaĺleons who have a capacity/ combat ability trade off going on. They can be attacked and defended by themselfs and warships, however sending a lot of huge Warships with your convoi is gonna cut into your profits. This would incentivise Colonisation in a more historical/organic fashion: you're not conquering all of China for their taxes, you're trying to get a trading port to increase your trading profits.

A man has the right to dream. No? I've become more cynical regarding Total War, but hope to be proved wrong. Cheers.

Bring back more micro management to the economy, make it feel more like your building an empire. Also have more strategic location in a region to draw out the army from the major city location. We need more grand strategy features and events in these games.

I am strongly recommending playing Absolute Dominium mod. Even Mysore gets new units. Every faction playable with original vanillia feeling. And every faction has unique UI.

The scramble for Africa setting is nice. With some dlc like the unification of the German and Italian States, then the crimean war. With some balkan war for regional setting.

What's the classical choral piece which begins to play near the beginning of the video?

What I would want from a tota war empire 2 is solid non floaty infantry various ways of making troops fire ie ranked fire platoon fire and counter March, I would also want the date to be set back father so more pike and shot combat around the 30 years war, even if it takes the form of a shogun 2 type same location different time period dlc

Fort battles need an overhaul and mechanics from Shogun2 like naval bombardment and tech upgrades. Use events like Industrial Revolution and invention of percussion shells to challenge power structure as small rapidly modernizing factions can temporarily achieve local superiority. Tactics should evolve as tech evolves. By late game have trenches, bunkers and campaign map areas of attrition from fort gun batteries.

Let's be real... Everyone loves TW because of realtime battles, gunpowder tactics even though are cool, oh man knights clashing into combat are even cooler!!! Mediaval 3 FTW

8:55 Well, keep in mind that amphibious assaults were not done contested in this era. It simply wasn't practical, so no D-Day landings. If a spot was contested, it was easier to just keep sailing to a point there was no contest, because a ship could move much, much faster than an army. Expanding on the piracy system, it'd be cool if letters of marque could be issued, and if piracy was a more constant problem. I'd personally love to see the time period expanded to some of the industrial era units, like the ironclads.

Absolutely spot on.

For me it needs: Scramble for africa. So you control the Provence meaning you control the trade area. You choose who can send their ships and get money from it. In return, you protect the waters etc. The ability to build smaller ‘towns’ in wilderness areas. Certain areas give certain benefits (bison huntin increases food in the main town, trade depots for stop offs for trade and improved trading in the area) Privateers. It happened and we need it in a game. Robbing gold ships etc etc. be a great addition. That’s the main things I’d think of. A

Like these guys from TW could dominate the massive strategy area if they only put some love into one BIG game with a highly detailed world map.. How I've been wishing for such a game, lel. :D

Which mods are you using there to have access to Norwegian units?

I often consider learning game design just to create a new game like Empire Total War.

My favourite Total Wars from all time are Napoleon and Shogun 2 FOTS. I would love an Empire 2. Medieval 2 remake would be cool.

I have some ideas on how to improve on Empire. First, keep the army “stances” from Rome 2, make it also linked to the total ammo you have for the battle (like 200% for fortify, 150% for raiding and 50% for force march) and make units out of ammo a frequent occurrence if you are not careful, making melee attack a necessity. It also should have more provinces per faction (like in Rome 2), but keep the population dynamic of the original Empire (like if a region have enough population surplus, it spawns a new city that has only a couple construction slots, but can be conquered by another faction). To avoid the “1 turn sieges” in the early game, it would need to remade how sieges works, I would like to see better fortification on the first round (with multiple ditches, walls etc) that would be slowly be damaged by each turn the siege goes on (maybe even with the player choosing which line of defense should be eliminated first). Having separate research trees per faction could also be a way to balance the game, with the Spanish and Ottoman empires having a strong position and poor research options, while the British have stronger research ti compensate the weaker positions at the start of the game. It would be good if the internal politics of Rome 2 would be replicated in an Empire world (but I wouldn’t abandon the ministries system), specially with the HRE electing an emperor and having civil wars and choosing between an absolute monarchy, a parliamentary system and a republic. But it also should merge with dynastic diplomacy, being able to inherit an empire if you play the cards right (but that would make all your neighbors declare war on you, like what happened in the Spanish Secession War). It could also cause a civil war if another nation leader has a claim to your throne. In the unit roster side, it would be cool to see more unique units depending on the nation (like Caroleans for Sweden) and I would like to see a trade off between line width (that would increase fire attack and limit the damage caused by cannons) and speed for infantry, maintaining the square formation against cavalry.

That Soundtrack is pure nostalgia

I'd add three more things that should be fleshed out: 1. Dynasties were immensely important for the politics of the time and I always thought that Empire did only scratch the surface. They could for example use the system from Attila for that. 2. Internal politics are always kinda underdeveloped in Total War. Taking inspiration from the interest groups from Victoria 3 could make a huge difference in gameplay immersion and difficulty as one has to balance these interest groups with the drive to expansion. 3. Demographics, colonization and migration is a key element for a game set in this time period and should be fleshed out more. The development of new cities was a great innovation at the time, however one has to remember that the 18th century was a time of massive colonization projects in the Americas and Europe. They could easily borrow some mechanics from Victoria 3 for that.

Hoi4 like Capitulation would be a lovely mechanic if done right

Map size wont be an issue for empire 2. We do now have a map in warhammer with 550+ settlements on it after all, which is significantly larger than any other total war title to date by quite a lot. Plus looking at some mods out there for total war titles, that could he even higher if they wanted it to be. There is a mod that adds 119 more settlements to fall of the samurai, and one that adds like 300 to rome remastered

I really liked the "path of independence" campaign, if they made empire 2 and they make the entire world map. Edit: they should make a 30 years war campaign.

Fantastiske forslag. Jeg har spilt Empire siden det kom ut husker jeg brukte 3 dager på å laste det ned på en sliten gammel nettlinje. 😅 Jeg spiller det fortsatt ofte, og finner stadig nye ting jeg liker ved det. Men jeg vil ha mer! Mye mer. Jeg har så vidt begynt å se litt på mods til Empire, men det er så mye å velge mellom, og det er ikke direkte lett å implementere mods krirkefritt. Sist jeg forsøkte mods endte jeg med å måtte installere alt på nytt. Hvis du har noen forslag til hvilke mods som er gode for å gi mer glede i påvente av Empires 2 hadde jeg satt stor pris på det. Gleder meg til å se mer av videoene dine. 😁

Doing a Qing playthrough sounds nice if empire expands east

I think you more or less got it spot on bud. would love a ne total war Empire game (old one still my fav of all) like you said the map\deplomacy\trade should be a massive

Also, want latent smoke on the battle fields (toggleable setting for those who do not want that)

I've poured over a 1000 hours in Empire now (mainly using Minor Factions or Darth Mod) but we really do need an Empire 2 or maybe one set around the 1800s. The game has so much potential to go further with new features, units, factions, regions, technology etc. I could go on.. I really do hope CA considers developing a new Empire game, so many possibilities.

I'd love a Victorian Total War running from the 1848 Spring of Nations through the Spanish American War/Boxer Rebellion (the Russo-Japanese/Balkan Wars might be too ambitious). Just hoping they'd also implement: An actual coalition system (maybe run it like the crusade mechanics). Multi-day battles, sieges that don't necessarily break just because an assault failed, and the choice to pursue a fleeing army on the campaign map a bit after a victory (the distance can be calculated by the remaining stamina of the units and a detachment(s) can be made; same for the defeated army to create a rear-guard to save other units; these detachments could then receive any reinforcements which weren't able to reach the initial battlefield; the ability to select which units of which armies come to aid in battles and that impacting their campaign map locations (and impacting their ability to reinforce other battles during that turn. A map scaled in such a matter that rail is vital, Expeditionary forces are a must, and events like the American Civil War can play out in Campaign instead of as an expansion. Oh and a return to the old style of melee combat that doesn't see units standing around because the animations are 1v1. Probably asking too much, but one can hope 😅

I still play it. Absolutely my favorite Total War game still. And don't underestimate the Campaign. It was very simple, but it was perfectly paced and created a lot of diverse battles, both at sea and on land. I find also, if you play it cleanly just for fun, and don't cheese battles, or the campaign, in order to beat it on the hardest difficulty, it is a lot of fun. It definitely is the game for the casual history enthusiast, rather than the hardcore gamer.

Empire TW was and still is my all time favorite Total War game. It had and still has it's issues (buggy siege battles), but that's never been enough to knock it off it's number one spot for me and I've by far put more hours in that game than any other TW game. If Creative Assembly put Empire 2 up for pre-order tomorrow, it would be an immediate purchase for me. I so badly want to get lost in that scale and scope in that era again.

A 1600-1800 empire Total war would be redic

Shogun and Empire are great. I liked playing as the unplayable factions and watching the gun battles. I would like a little bit of mechanics from CK3 and/or Iron Hearts 4 tacked on.

As the warfare doctrines hadn't changed drastically from early 1700s to pretty much early 1900s (line formations, use of artillery and cavalry and such) I hope CA will cover that entire period, Empire 2 encompassing most of it, and maybe having either DLCs or Total War Sagas of Napoleon 2, American Civil War, Franco-Prussian War, Crimean War, Russian Civil War and, perhaps even WWI...

A new Empire 2 Game would be appreciated. For the Provinces, maybe we could use the Rome2/ Attilla mechanic. 1 Region. With 3 Province in it, one main City 2 smaller. PS: good Soundtrack I love Empire OST, but some OST were from Napoleon. Weren't they :-P

I agree with everything I see I also saw Norway taking over Sweden hehe

I cannot currently think of any game I want more than Empire Total War 2

I just want a full world map that’s what made empire total war one of my favorites growing up, the ability to traverse and invade multiple continents and not just Europe made the campaign feel grand

Ciao a tutti e soprattutto grazie agli sviluppatori che sono sempre pieni di idee, Ho appena scaricato la versione 3.7 di Total war empire 2 ,

If they go back to this time period i want heavy musket sounds with scope ans thick smoke, and brutal bloody battles where u hear and se the effect of a musket bullet ripping true soldiers and dismemberment when cannon fire drops. I know its spygo but look up what damange a musket bullet does its grazy nasty.

What's the name of the music piece at 1:10?
