Am close to taking over it all ... have just 8 left to do ...Bevo wrote:
Anyone taken over the entire map yet?
I figure it wouldn't be too hard if you can get a small hold in each theatre and expand from there. Or just conquer an entire theatre, set up minor defenses on the outside and zerg/roll everything else.
I figure it's a good thing. If there was no timer, I'd just turtle until I earn a lot of money and get tech, and slowly conquer easy nations.unnamednewbie13 wrote:
Expanding across the entire map would be more fun if the game didn't wave a Mario timer in your face. At least you got to play around in Medieval 2 and Rome.
Would it hurt to have it as a toggleable option?Bevo wrote:

Barrage, pause. Barrage, pause. A single barrage an knock down several soldiers, but they're only as good as how well you defend them from flank attacks and frontal rush. Check them out in custom battle.krazed wrote:

what like in real life? there shouldnt be timers in total war and each turn should last for different amounts of time depending on what the player chooses. It took like 8 months max for an army to reach india by sea from Britain in that age. im guessing in empire it takes around 4 years?Bevo wrote:

Probably takes 3-4 turns, so around 2 years. I think each turn should last 3 months instead of 6, but that's just me.Vilham wrote:

And yes, and option would be cool.
Then don't turn it on. Hence, toggle. Warcraft 2 had 'cheats' and it played just fine. CoD4 had cheat unlocks for the mission, and it's still a solid game. Nobody has to use them, but they're there. All this would do is remove the year cap.aerodynamic wrote:

lol i wasn't suggesting removing turns, I was suggesting giving players the ability to tweak how much time a turn counts as. Basically making the actual movement of troops realistic. Like in Rome Total War an infantry force would take about 3 years to go from Rome to England. In reality it would take 6 months max. A marching army Roman moves 15 miles a day. Thats 50 days of travelling. Not 3 bloody years. It makes conquering the entire map and reinforcing your armys fighting on the other side of the world annoying.aerodynamic wrote:

IF they're rebels, destroy the university, exempt region from tax and leave an army in Paris for a few turns.
If they are French armies, go find there other regions and capture them.
Think of it this way - If you conquer the indians, you'll get all the stuff that they trade to everyone, plus spots where you can build good farms, plus their taxes.RavyGravy wrote:
im playing as the Dutch and im torn between attacking the indians(orange ones) to get the territories i need off them or trying to buy them, i dont want to attack them because they are my best trading partner and loosing them would cost me a lot of money, ideas?
