empire total war tips

[spikeownzu]

Heya, i been kicking about on empire total war, i'm finding it much harder then the previous games.. anybody got any tips?

the naval combat is quite annoying.. the fuckin ships dont fire when their told to either lol

For Naval battles I would recommend you use the broadside command (the little circles showing the cannons i believe) this allows you to decide when to shoot and fire all cannons at same time (devastating effect). Also I found its best to cut there fleet in half, not just go down the line like they try. bring ur ships in on both side then after passing 3 or so ship, have a front ship cut in front of the ships that are behind the three u passed. This cuts up the fleet and causes those front 3 ships to be blasted on both sides by all ur ships, while the rest of the enemy fleet tries to maneuver.

Great game too, gotta love that land battles also, a lot more casualties in every battle though. I use to lose like 100 to there 1000 in medieval 2 totalwar, not im losing 600 or more to there 1000. And Indians are a pain in the butt.

true, even with high difficulty it was too easy to lure the AI into a devastating defeat, even when i was outnumbered 5:1

The totalwar AI always sucked mayor balls, thats why MP got me more then a little bit excited.

But I digress.

The AI has a few areas where it lacks (a lot), like when they're attackign a fort they'll all charge into the center without even firing one musket and when a group of them are hiding behind a low wall (on the land battles), you can swing a group around behind them and just shoot them in the back without consequence. Also, cannons using cannister shot can be a bit fickle, as they'll all fire on either the left most side or the right side of an enemy unit.
