We like the uniforms, get attached to certain historical regiments, and enjoy the aspects that gunpowder brings to the battlefield. We want to see historical battles played out as if we were the commander. This mostly appeals to the kind of individuals who enjoyed old school war games. It may just not be your cup of tea, I think a lot of the Warhammer crowd feels that way in general regarding the historical stuff. It would rival EU4 for best game in the time period. If I were king for a day Empire 2 Total War would have a more "Grand strategy" vibe to it while keeping the Total War battle pedigree. Give me big battles that are very impactful, and then give me some super fleshed out diplomacy, intrigue, trade, and naval stuff. I'd love it if they made a total war that focused a lot more on the overworld, instead of the battles happening every turn and such. The only issue I think is that the current TW formula feels a little too fast paced for the vibe of Empire. Hopefully they revisit the time period, I'd like to see it again with better graphics.

Darth Mod is also very good, love Napoleon Total War with Darth Mod. They felt long, there was decision making and wide flanking maneuvers, I felt like Napoleon when I was playing. It renovated the formula of TW up to that point, had a lot of very ambitious ideas, and really had some of the best battles in the series. The sequel to Empire can't get here soon enough.Įmpire Total War was one of the those games where it was so close to greatness. Anyone who might be interested in trying it can contact me via PM, as it's not officially released.īTW, the mod pack includes my portrait mod I released in 2020, but it also works with vanilla, and apparently Darthmod too: And pretty damn polished, if I may say so. Graphics, AI, sound, factions, units and more, but still retaining the core of the original game. I have made my own Vanilla++ overhaul and shared it among like minded people. While the big established overhauls are really cool, they can be unstable and/or suffer from feature bloat where things that didn't need changing were changed for the sake of it. This is the main reason, besides polish, that I started modding on my own a few years ago.
#EMPIRE TOTAL WAR DARTHMOD FLEET BATTLE MODS#
This is the reason why I use Darthmod instead of newer mods like Empire II Imperial Realism looks insanely good for me but the problem is that despite being an awesome mod, stability issues are still a major pain in the ass. With the right systems in play I do genuinely think an Empire 2 could be the best TW game ever made, it might not have the swords, arrows and calvary combat many people love but by god the combat was still brilliant fun with a brilliant naval combat, economy warfare and a world map that actually felt massive unless you were a competent sea faring nation. The big one too, the one that I think would be brilliant if it was official, playable pirate nations, whereby you do pirate shit, you can get contracts from the British to ransack the French trade routes or attack the Spain fleets. If they made a second game either keep the time line the same but expand the regions, so rather than trade nodes let's have entire theatres, bring the new political/loyalty systems into it to make the government more important that slight bonuses and buffs that only the keenest of players interact with. Spain itself can suddenly become a Republic and everyone hates them for it, even France become disillusioned by it, some games the Monarch prevails. The variation meant that you couldn't predict what your game was going to be like past the first 25/30 turns, as Spain you knew you would be at war with the Natherlands early on over Flanders, and it was a matter of time before the UK, Portugal and Morocco decided to have a go, but some games Sweden like you because they like France, some games they hate you cause they like Britain, some games Maratha likes you some games they like you until they want a piece of the Americas. Some games Sweden would steam roll, some games Prussia would steam roll, some games Russia, sometimes nobody would they would equally fuck each other hard enough that all that really happened was the borders between them shifted around. The only consistency was that the Marathan Confederacy would steam roll the middle east, but they would sometimes appear in the Americas and try to take over North America, or the Caribbean, hell I had one campaign where they decided to take Iceland for whatever reason. Empire deserves another game, that game was so brilliantly unique and each campaign felt different from the last in a way I haven't felt until hilariously Thrones of Britannia.
