    Default What's your ideal Empire?

    This thread is designed to help create the perfect colonial empire for when ETW comes. You can get a copy of the map in the spoiler below:

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 


    Below is my ultimate British Empire. Its based around Britannia really ruling the waves, with control over almost all islands and strategic ports to link the colonies with each other and their homeland, and control trading routes. As you can see, I've also reclaimed my feudal possessions in France, with Calais also being taken. In addition to this, the long-time ally Portugal has been integrated into the Empire, and the Union with the Netherlands is still in force.

    My Empire is in white on the first map. As you can see, my unbeatable army of octupi has wrestled control of the oceans from our arch enemies, the dolphins.

    Your empire sucks. My empire has BEARS CAVLARY AND PENGUIN INFANTRY. Your sharks and octopii are no match.
    Besides, I can just melt the icecaps and screw up the oceans salinity. THEN WHAT, HUH?

    My Empire is in grey and white on the first map. And the penguins, bears and octopi all work for me now. Along with the incredible manbearpig.

    Incorrect. Your claims on our empires have united us in opposition against you! Now face our combined wrath!

    The people over at TWC have so much more imagination than you lot.

    Either that, or ourselves here at the Guild are just so good at TW we conquer every map entirely.

    Of course we do. Whats the point of having an empire if you cant have it all?
    Like I'm gonna leave potential opponents hanging around the edges of the map just waiting to build up an army big enough to attack me.

    Then you fail in your lesson, young Padawan.

    The first rule of a successful empire: a scary external enemy just waiting outside the borders! An enemy that will eat your children, rape your sheep, and steal your wives in your sleep! And only the Emperor can protect you!

    ...or was it the other way around?

    Psh. People in my empire behave or I eat their skulls and make cups out of their souls. Which I fill with cheese.

    This is the Greater Greek Empire where the Greeks are fighting to expand their colonial holdings in NA, SA, and Australia.

    Nice effort by the Greeks there.

    The whole world map won't be in Empire, right ?

    From what I've heard...Europe, the middle east, North Africa, India and the Americas will be included. I might be wrong, though.

    Probably some sort of magical ship-teleporter built on the coast of the Sahara.

    I thought one of the specialised troops available only to Cairo and Panama might be the 'Navie', thus allowing you to build the 'Grand Canal'.

    Suez Canal

    The canal allows two-way water transportation, most importantly between Europe and Asia without circumnavigation of Africa. Before its opening in 1869, goods were sometimes offloaded from ships and carried over land between the Mediterranean and the Red Sea.

    The idea for the Empire I already posted in not to be the biggest in the world, just a leading Asian power. Í'm going to change the red in the flag to orange, it's more representative.

    The Pirate Confederation shall rule waves from the Caribbean to Java ! That's going to be the next map I'm drawing up.

    My ideal empire? Consists of the land of all countries who ever attacked me and my heartlands, but no more. Ruled by wise men who keep greedy warmongers within the country under good control. A powerful, technologically advanced fleet, and an army known for its fast marching speed, its quality over quantity, and fearsome unmatched morale!
    Under construction...

    yeah but even thought the suez canal was not built until 1869, u will see it built in M2TW. if CA knew that the suez canal wasn't built until 1869 and still included it in M2TW, then they'll probably add it in ETW..or maybe the only way to get to the indian ocean is by conquering the arabian peninsula or egypt making both provinces strategic trade point in the game. i suggest going historically accurate and not include the suez canal

    Actually, there've been many canals on that particular site. I believe the Egyptians built the first one in fifty bajillion BC or something like that.
    A quick Wiki shows that the original canal was only totaly destroyed in 700 AD...but the watercourse might've remained in some form or another for quite a while.
    Still, yeah, out of the time frame. Maybe it was just CA being silly. Like with Portugal.

    Japan, some sort of Californian (almost impossible given the time frame, maybe in the sequal?)

    Hmm.... no idea?
