    I bought it and of course already read it and it's very interesting.

    One already said here "in the magazine there is a screenshot with soldiers fighting in a dry channel and others firing from a bridge." That's what the description of the screenshot in the magazine says, but it is wrong though. It's not a dry channel but a massive fortress's dry trench it seems. So it looks like we're going to fight for really massive forts with bastions and trenches I think.

    I just this morning saw a German Magazine with about a dozen pages dedicated to Empires...but I forgot to get the name of the publication...maybe later in the week if someone else doesn't post it before I get back there.

    The Campaign map was a world map and there was something about Australian Colonies founded in 1788...I didn't realise it was that lately settled.

    Sorry I don't read enough German to give a more compleat report but it sure looks like it is going to be a beautiful game if nothing else.

    Yes, it is very likely that it was. Sorry I didn't see the other post! But it should expand our knowledge a bit once we have a translation and some screen shots.

    this does not seem to be the full article so there may be more info there.

    If you quote it, it has already been linked, so its fine. I cant read german, so you'd be best off IMO asking Ituralde.

    Australia, China, Southern Hemisphere Africa, Antarctica are excluded as stated in GameStar. We can only wonder how weird their map would look like.

    Disclaimer: The map was put together by myself, taking into account the mentioned exclusions of regions in the GameStar-article. The red line is an approach and not a definition of supposed map borders in ETW.

    Actually I think the picture may be a bit backwards. I f they have india and some of the east indies on the side of the campaign map that Eastern europe is normaly on then you could expand over land with the Ottomans. And on the other side where the americas are now on the M2 map they would have the far east indies. That way you could take the seroiusly hard overland route to make it too the east. Or you could go west. @_@

    Well lets hope you can conquer The Northern bit of Australia....
    I can already see a expansion, one with new factions and a extension of the map to include Siberia, China and Australia....

    Reading this summary thread I think my possible appreciation for the upcoming ETW is increased (Of course I maintain skepticism.)

    The fact that a large part of the world will be represented (according to that magazine) is good and that alone scores many points with me.

    not trying to insult but Australia ? i dont think they have any hope of making an apperance, i did australian history for a year in school (most unfortunatly) and they didnt do a thing until world war 1 (got shot to bits at gallipoli) , there was never any massed rebelions or wars, just a slow genocide , mainly through desease, but with the odd skirmish between natives and settlers

    i couldnt really see what kind of units they would field anyway

    any one have any idea if there will be any previews in any uk magazine soon?

    I have a question....Will the timeframe include 1878?

    Post Re: Empire: Total War Summary Thread

    Sorry Galapagos. The timeframe is 1700-1800, although some sources do claim that it extends 1820. Sorry.

    I wasn't sure they said early 1800's.It would have been to good to be true to include late 1800's.

    I don't see why they don't extend the end date to the late 1800s. I don't think warfare changed too much until WWI when multi-shot rifles came into the picture, but I'm no expert I could be wrong.

    Well, that makes sense in my opinion.
    First from a marketing point, they can sell a expansion
    Secondly - let's imagine the Americans are wiped out already by the British or a vassal.
    Would anybody like a event Civial War then? Would make no sense!

    Additionally the U.S. doesn't belong in the vanilla game, because they were just a colony by the start of the game - so leave the U.S. for a expansion like kingdoms.
    A Napoleon/Civil War(but you would need railroads for this) expansion.

    Well nothing's been officially announced yet, but I would be shocked if the game didn't come out around this time next year. Thus far, CA has faithfully stuck to a schedule of releasing new games in late summer of even-numbered years, and expansion packs in late summer of odd-numbered years. Ergo, ETW will most likely come out August/September 2008.

    I highly doubt CA will ever make the Civil War for the TW series regardless. With only two main factions, the American Civil War wouldn't translate very well to the TW style of play.
