Must Try and explain
User Rating: 8 | Empire: Total War PC
I was hesitating on how to write this. I found it a great game. I had no real problems wit the game. The only problem is that I was hoping for large scale lighting fast battles. Instead I found long, complex, sluggish, decent graphic battle. I noticed they did realistic movements. I have not seen all the types of actions yet so I still want a few surprizes. The biggest pet peive of mine, the loading screens. they take for ever (read this part slowly times that by ten and you have a small fraction of the loading time). Now that the negitives are out of the way the good can come in. Goods, Concept was a great idea. Playing as that many cultures smoothly was a great idea. I found it to be very historicly acurate. The who hated who was spot on. But I noticed that diplomacy was near imposible. I tried very hard to understand that, but to no avail. An example is in the Road to independence chapter 2. I made allies fast with the natives. The problem they never helped me once. I had ot fight the french with no back up. I considered stopping the assault on the french for a couple years and kick the virtual natives butt. But I doubted if I could so i left them alone. Another problem is that the AI does not contact you, they supply no help as to what they want. If you want to aid them, you must attack them by going on their land. But back to the good.The battles on sea are a great touch. All the ship types, shot, formaiton. It makes it a great strategy base. Good for land battles are that their are so many units that you needed to diversify. Keep in mind this is the first time I decided to pick up a Total War game. My final problem was that the whole world was not open to play. That would have made it harder. On second thought maybe the small map is better. Overall this game was very tough to judge. because it was so back and forth. I enjoy the game because... well just pick it up and you will see.
P.S. the quotes are sometimes humorus.
