Empire: Incomplete?

[Relic]

Mind if I ask what battle it is? Some of us are still waiting for our copies to arrive you see.

I can't be bothered to clarify this just yet, (but I'll PM you the name when I go back on).
It's another Sea battle, 1v1 is all I can remember.

Perhaps you're used to Medieval 2 where every faction attacks you within 20 turns?

Actually I have/played ever single total war game except for Medieval 2 and Kingdoms.
