Melee fighting was as vicious in the 18th century as it had ever been.
There’s nothing tame about a battlefield of any era, and hand-to-hand fighting was still a major part of any engagement. The period was full of successful bayonet charges and cavalry attacks. This ensures that the tactics of timing and maneuver are vitally important. The land battles are being designed so that there is no single ‘right answer’ to that decision. At the start of the period, players have to make the choice between shooting at the last moment and not being prepared for melee or fixing bayonets. Muskets are not modern assault rifles - requiring massed coordinated volleys to create casualties, and once they're fired, soldiers had to close with the enemy and use cold steel. Terrain, cavalry charges, enfilade firing, artillery bombardments, morale, and other tactical considerations must be taken into account. Infantry combat in this period revolved around the use of firearms at close range, resulting in heavy losses. Land battles are fought in real time on a large battlefield, as in previous Total War games. For example, generals and admirals can recruit units in the field (which are dispatched from the nearest settlement or shipyard), and there are new formation tools for warfare that revolved around gunpowder weapons.Įmpire: Total War was originally released for PC in 2009 with a Mac port, developed by Feral Interactive, following in 2012. It features some of the largest 3D fully featured naval combat ever seen in a game - a new addition to the Total War franchise - newly refined diplomacy and AI, a larger campaign map which includes North and South America, Africa and India along with Europe, and new campaign mechanics. The game covers such important events as the growth of European continental empires like Prussia and Austria, the birth of the French Republic, the American Revolution, as well as the rise of global empires through naval supremacy and trade. Empire: Total War is a strategy game set in the 18th Century.
