Empire: Total War

[Jaffa]

Release date set as Tuesday 3rd March, anyone else excited?

Playable factions announced so far are Britain, France, Sweden, Ottamans, United Provinces (Netherlands/Belguim), Russia, Spain, Prussia, Poland-Lithuania and Austria. They are announcing new factions as the release grows closer (there will almost certainly be an "American" faction)!

Game date starts 1700, and includes North and South America, Africa, Europe, Middle-East, India, and i think south-east asia.

It sounds like its getting into that era where it starts to get boring.

This is how Age of Empires 3 failed. Moving from pre gunpowder (ok there were some cannons but, mostly sword/archer units) to post gunpowder makes a big difference.

Might buy it still...but the expansions are a rip off.

I've been waiting for this one to come out.

I forgot to mention it actually has proper naval combat in it!

A few years ago there was a rts game called Imperial Glory, using a total war style game engine, and with ship combat etc. Was fun, had some bad bugs in it, and stupidly OP AI, but is worth looking into

England was beginning to own the world at the time, including India.

There will be several indian factions i'm sure, and they'll probably make one playable (if not all, if they nclude the all factions unlock again)
