This game takes the series and adds so much to it.

User Rating: 9 | Empire: Total War PC
I find this game adds so much to the series that i dont even know were to begin. For starters i have all the previus total war games and all of there expansions. so when i got this i had high hopes. Those hopes were met with succses. I will however state this game is much harder than past games of the series. To start about the game the graphics are great. Get that done with. Past that gameplay is very diffrent as it is more gun concentraited. This isnt that bad though and gives you the feel that you are in the imperilism age. Second off new features fill this game. There is more than eruope, Africa and the Middle east. You can go to north america and the carribean as well as India. There are also areas you can send ships to to trade with these key areas like the phillapeans or Brazil. These allow you to make more oney. Finnaly for the last of the major new additions is Revolution in which you can join the Rebels and creat a new goverment which will change sevral things, from your flag to how you work with diplomacy. Diplomacy works very diffrent and is quite changed. You often start out at war with a country and it says how friendly or hostile you are if you have trade and sevral other things. AI is a bit stupid but as is it in all of the total war games but it is a bit improved. It is much harder and more complitcated than other games but you can nderstand the game within a hour or so of play. I find that this game really improves on the few minor flaws of the series and keeps it moving.
