Empire: Total War

Empire: Total War brings a groundbreaking array of features, including immersive 3D naval combat. For the first time in the iconic Total War franchise, players can command individual ships or entire fleets across beautifully rendered oceans with stunning water and weather effects that directly impact your path to victory or defeat. After bombarding foes with cannon fire, engage in close-quarters combat by boarding enemy vessels and leading your troops in intense melee on the decks of these colossal warships.

Additionally, Empire: Total War enhances the series’ hallmark 3D battles and turn-based campaign mechanics. Real-time combat introduces fresh challenges with the integration of cannons and muskets, demanding players to develop advanced strategies and formations owing to the crucial impact of gunpowder on warfare. Meanwhile, the Campaign Map—often considered the lifeblood of Total War—reveals a wealth of new and improved features, from innovative Trade and Diplomacy systems to Espionage with agents; a refined user interface; enhanced Advisors; and an expanded scope that encompasses the riches of India, the dynamic landscape of Europe, and for the first time, the untapped potential of the United States.
