Does anyone still play this? Its been patched up alot since the beginning and now it has a ridiculous Mod out for it called Darthmod. If you have the computer to run it, I highly recommend it.

Re: Empire Total War
Does that make the campaign mode better, or is it only centered on battles/naval?Nintendo Switch Friend Code: SW-7009-7102-8818 -
Re: Empire Total War
It makes it ridiculously better. The diplomacy, the mix of units in each stack. You should see the number of additional units in this mod. Basically every distinct regiment that existed during this time is in. The AI uses naval invasions much better. You play on hard now and you will have to have game to pull out a victory.
The only thing I do is houserule out my own forts by destroying the walls of any city I own because they are too easy to defend.
Even if you only play the campaign, its very good.Chalepa Ta Kala.....Comment

Re: Empire Total War
Literally, this is now the game that I've waited forever for. It also looks like CA is going in a different direction, making games smaller and a little more scripted. It will be a long time for a game on this grand scale comes out again. and now with this mod, it's pretty awesome.
Literally, if this was $500 with this mod intalled, you would have to contemplate buying it if you like this period. You'll get that much play time out of it.Chalepa Ta Kala.....Comment

Re: Empire Total War
I've had darthmod for a long time, haven't played it in months because I've been busy. I would HIGHLY recommend it. It makes the campaign much more difficult and made the battles better. The only negative is it can be fairly resource intensive and sometimes can be unstable (though the original empire was unstable for me as well). The Total War series has some of the best mods I've ever played, and darthmod definitely lives up to that. Latest version I have is the in the 5.x so I may have to download the latest.Comment

Re: Empire Total War
darthmod made an amazing Rome: Total War mod. I haven't played more than about 5 minutes of Empire, but maybe I'll d/l Darthmod and give it a go.Comment

Re: Empire Total War
Its sweet. Its like playing a real person. Now, I am no TW guru, but I was playing my Austrian campaign last night and Prussia got all bent because I would accept their offer to trade provinces with me and they attacked. And it was a great battle. The actually flanked me on both sides last night and rolled up my left line. I ran some reserves up to hold the line and they counter attacked on the right. The battle ebbed and flowed until I finally was routed in a close defeat. I guess I should have traded it to them.
But the AI uses tactics and lines up in orderly fashion and delivers volley's. No more blobbing or chicken dancing. If they are out gunned, they charge with bayonet's or withdraw. You have to stay right on a unit that you have routed otherwise, they will reorganize and come back.
Its about as good as its going to get. Not perfect because there are limitiations. But if you don't use the pause button during battle, its non stop chaotic fun.Chalepa Ta Kala.....Comment

Re: Empire Total War
Are you on Windows 7? I accidentally downloaded the 6.2 patch to my programs file instead of programs x 86 and it wreaked all types of CTD havoc.
Anyway, just load up DMUC 6.0, make sure its DMUC 6.0 and then install the 6.2 patch. Load the game through steam just like you would vanilla.Chalepa Ta Kala.....Comment
