One month vacation for me and I'm playing ETW like crazy. Started an unmodded, fresh, 1.5 campaign with Prussia on normal/normal to see how I can create the German Empire and so far I'm enjoying it... :) So, anyone still playing ardently despite NTW out and running? I prefer the variety of ETW...

Did a few searches but didn't find anything recent (I apologize if I missed an obvious thread due to poor search word choices :bow:). I'm just coming back to try ETW after not playing it for a year (finally have a computer that can handle it). I've heard with the recent patches the game is much...

I know there is little attention anymore for ETW on this forum but I hope there are still some around. So far I've only played MTW (the original) and ETW. Both had there flaws but I enjoy them both immensely. The only thing I miss in ETW, compared MTW are the interesting battlefields. I've been...

I finally went out and got ETW after months of procrastinating. I was quite pleased with it until I came across the following situation. So I was playing as great britain and Prussia declared war on me over the succession. No big deal, whatever I'll just raise an army and send it over with John...

I cannot load saved game files beyond a certain year. They simply will not load. Instead EWT crashes, and I get the following error message: I've gone back to older files, and tried to play past this point, but every saved file beyond that point continues to have the same crash issue. I...

So I finally got ETW when it went on sale on Steam. Admittedly it was an impulse buy, but then I've played every TW game so I knew I was going to get it eventually. Just finished my first campaign playthrough, as GB, and I figured I'd give my thoughts on the game, good, bad, and ugly. I'm sure...

Well, I opted for ETW over NTW, main reason being Target dropped the price to $19.99. I have some experience with TW, but haven't played in awhile. I'll eventually get NTW, but I wanted to play in Colonial America, and try out the Civil War mod. Anyhow, as I await for my game to be patched, I...

sup all i would ask this on TWC fourms, but its down atm anyway i keep hearing that if you gain a protecorate it counts as your region on the objectives pannal, however this is not the case for me, is there something wrong with my game?:help: i have a mod that unlocks all fctions but makes no...

Hey all! So, I bought E:TW a LONG time ago but never really ever got into it. I don't know why, but I just never really got into it. Anyways, to make a long story short, I'm trying to force myself to get back into it, haha :P But since I'm downright freaking TERRIBLE at the game, I guess I'm...

It's been a very long time since I've played any ETW, and figured I'd focus on doing a bit more naval stuff this time around, so I have some questions: Isn't there a command to highlight an enemy boat so all your boats will concentrate fire on it? I seem to remember it, just not what the...

Maybe other factions but to me it seems marathas is the only viable choice. Plz advice.

ok so darth mod v6.0, also regarded as the gold version, is out. download link here also, for those who want to know what its all about: read this! cheers!

How to stop? I guess I just have to start fighting them, but they're my trade partners so I'd go broke. They just took over Britain and are currently sending several full stacks toward the European mainland. I'm the Dutch, I've taken over all France's lands and all the Americas except for the...

This is a slightly different thread to the other, it is more about tactics, observations and other things. Started Long Campaign, Normal/Normal with Plains Nations. Few observations - Do NOT auto-resolve battles against European armies. (you always lose, even though you can win...

I said I would start playing again when 1.6 came out. So has any tried it out yet and has it improved ETW?

I've heard line infantry from faction to faction vary. Some are better than others. For instance, Prussian Line is the best while Russian Line tends to fare not so well but doesn't mind as much if it takes more casualties than others. Is this true or have I just been hearing false thoughts...

As Maratha , I conquered all India , Persia and Ottoman Turks. By the time I step in Europe the Prussians had 1 province and the Austrians were eliminated by the Polish. So Europe had 3 major powers. British, France and Poland. Russia was having a hard time fighting Sweden who have expanded east....

I have an interesting story to relate. I was fighting a battle in my current campaign, I am Russia and was fighting a Swedish army. His army was a few calvary, many line infantry and one demi-cannon. I thought demi-cannon couldn't move, and it was set up well out of range of where I set up my...

Is there a "cheat" to play as Minor Faction without finishing the Independence campaign first? Thanks.

They won't pick up a shovel! Hindu muskets seem a fine counter to Euro militia, but the Euros will dig in. Baggies will, according to the states, shoot and stab even with sepoys and come close to company line, but they won't dig in. Do Sikh's dig in? If so, they'd be as good as Prussian Line or...

Not by much. Only 5 or 6 hundred separate them in numbers. The games are 9 and 10 on Steam and seem to be staying there for the last few weeks. http://store.steampowered.com/stats/

I want to ask my fellow Orgahs what would they be thinking and playing after the end of the TW franchise. I feel that after Napoleon, TW has nowhere to go since modern battles are not suited for this strategy game and the only option is reworking the existing games or going really ancient like...

"SEGA Europe Ltd. is pleased to announce that "Update 1.6" for the award winning Empire: Total War will be available today. The update introduces a large number of revisions to the Artificial Intelligence in real time battles. Amongst many other improvements, the Battle A.I. now maintains its lines...

Hi all, Ever since 1.4 or 1.5, I've noticed several map and GUI errors. - The gold crossing arrow from Newfoundland to Canada is gone - The gold crossing arrows between the islands in the Lesser Antilles are gone - The Ministers sheet has a big orangish square sometimes appearing in the...

I have the PC version, but as I am now moving everything across to my mac. I am looking to see if NTW is available in a Mac version? I have searched on steam, but havnt found anything? Thanks in advance.

There was a hint that Empire would have some additions and upgrades with the installation of Napoleon. So, whilst I still ponder on a purchase (and work out how to move Steam App to my 2nd hard drive)...was this accurate, have you noticed anything in play?

I'm really not looking forward to invading a unified India again, and I'm plum out of ideas to at least stretch out the Mughal's existence for a while longer short of me invading and racking up major negativity in the diplomatic front. One would think that the other Euro powers would be trying to...

Dear all, After checking with the esteemed TosaInu, I am letting you all know that there is a letter to Creative Assembly on behalf of the Total War modding community. Without flaming in any way,and as die hard fans of the Total War series, we are concerned at the lack of modding tools that are...
