    Default Empire: Total War Screenshot Thread

    I thought it would be a good idea to create a single thread for all the screen shots to be posted in so that everyone can easily see all that there is to see. Please use this thread to post links to any new pics that come out. Please try not to post doubles.

    Having seen those screenshots, it makes me wonder how someone can make a thread saying the graphics look poor. They look amazing.

    Am I the only one who considers screenshots about the campaign map just as interesting if not a little more so than screens of battle? I've always enjoyed building empires not just killing hoards of enemies, though that obviously is a good portion of the fun.

    I agree totally, NodachiSam. Sometimes when I'm bored I'll just rampantly autoresolve through a short campaign trying different building and taxing schemes. Have you seen any campaign map shots yet? I'd like to see it as well, but haven't stumbled across any yet.

    Are there any campaign map screens anywhere? I'm very curious about the mentioned revisions that (apparently) show buildings on the campaign map itself. If this is true, I'm curious to know if they've integrated those locations into gameplay.

    Since the RTW campaign map changes I've been hoping for an infinite zoom, like Black & White or the forever-being-developed Spore. They've still likely separated the campaign map and battle map, but LESS separation would be wonderful.

    I disagree. That would be very unrealistic. Right now the battlemaps are supposed to be small areas sampling terrain from the area. If you were to make it seamless, the scale would be absurd. At the distance from the earth that you view of the campaign map, the earths crust would look about as thin as a nickle. If you could zoom all the way in, there could only be two very absurd possibilities: 1. The entire earth in full scale would need to be created (The reasons this wouldn't work are apparent), or 2. They would need to pull and AoE and have the different continents tiny.
    If this is what they intend to do, I don't think I will be buying the game. I think the idea would be a total leap from realism that would really pollute the Total War series.

    I have long thought that TW as we know it could work all the way through to the advent of massed rifled weapons. This ought to be the end of the line, timeline-wise that is.

    Screenies are up in the summary thread as well

    To my knowledge, no Campaign map screenies have been released.

    A lot of the released screenies have focused on naval battles...I SO hope CA follows through instead of deciding to punt once more.

    Land battles become a little less complicated in this era (armies have become more standardized) but well-done naval battles would more than make up for it

    Because they do look poor, someone from CA even said they aren't finished shots.

    Is it! If so, If so, I would be quite happy. I always enjoyed the throne room in STW. Meeting diplomats, talking with the old adviser, looking at the map. Perhaps CA decided to bing this option back for Empire?

    Indeed. I mean, how fun are the battles still going to be, what with two opposing lines simply standing around and blasting away at each other (to charge the image, so to say)? Unless cavalry is put into the equasion to the level it was used by, say, Frederick the Great or Bonaparte, I don't quite see much potential for excitement on land anymore (save, perhaps, for the occasional bayonet charge and maneuver warfare like the Prussians did at Rossbach). Methinks most of the fun to be had will be seen at sea.

    It is confirmed that diplomats, spies, assassins will not be on the campaign map. So I guess that is how it is done. I want that magazine :(.

    Australia as an emerging faction? Seriously wtf? Didn't even become an independent country until 1901.

    But as a colony, 1788. Sure it was sort of controlled by GB, but it is stilll playable.

    It wasn't "sort of" controlled by Great Britain. It was part of Great Britain. Colonial Governors and assemblies had a limited discretion as to how to manage colonies but they couldn't do anything which an independent country can, like formulate foreign policy and declare war. In fact even 38 years after Australia became independent Pig Iron Bob still considered that whether or not it was at war was still determined by Westminster and Number 10 Downing Street. Aside from that the colonies were all separate from each other; not only was there no independent Australian government until 1901, there was no Australian government before 1901 at all. Total independence really wasn't achieved until the passing of the Australia Acts in the 1980's.
