BF2S Forums [Empire Total War] The Discussion Thread

Yeah, Manifest Destiny thrown out the window. To be honest, it's a bit late in real history for the general <1850 setting, centering more on the latter part of the 1800's. Give it an expansion, and hope we get to play to 1920, and have grand campaigns with no year progression. It would be awesome to advance your 'era' beyond others.

But you should be worrying about the lack of the Civil War first.

Could be a planned exp. pack...


Empires: World War 1 would be awesome.

Australia


but i dont think they can do real wars because in order to stay true to the wars they take out all of your options in conquering, alliances and all the good stuff that makes total war what it is

the last section of Road to Independence allows you to play as America same as in Grand campaign. The only difference is that you will not see it in GC menu when choosing states. You will have to always go to Road to Independence menu and just click the last chapter.

Damn the Ottomman empire are stubborn as fuck. I have taken over every one of their regions but 3 and yet they refuse to surrender every time I lay siege. It's also really time consuming trying to take over their whole empire, whilst keeping their damn population happy. I need more priests.

Remember to destroy their mosques and build your churches

just a quick question, are you supposed to loose the battle of bunker hill? cause i did then everything continued fine for me

I figure it doesn't matter either way.

So, my first ever Total War game I decide to be Prussia and take out Poland-Lithuania soon as the game starts. War against them is a success but the towns are revolting ect, how do you keep them happy? I put religious gentlemen in them and am going to build opera houses ect, and I could lower taxes but that would really hurt my income. I thought I seen somewhere you could set taxes per region is that true? Halp pl0x

You can't change tax rates in different regions, but you can exempt them from tax.

When you take a new region the populace will resist foreign occupation and if the area isn't the same religion as your capital there will also be religious unrest. A few things you can do are:

• Keep a large enough army in the capital to keep repression up.
• Destroy all competing religious buildings and build your own.
• Exempt the region from tax.
• Build Coach Inns.
• Destroy all schools. (not recommended unless very necessary)
• Destroy industrial buildings. (not recommended unless very necessary)

Things you can do for all regions is place a good person in the Justice position in Parliament, with high theater repression (Much harder to do when/if you become a republic). The other ministers will also have an effect on public order, so look through their traits and change out the ones with too much -1 happiness (especially to lower class).

Early on, I recommend keeping taxes pretty low. For money try and get as many trade routes as possible, even offer them a free tech or ~500 gold so they accept. Don't worry you'll get all that money back the next turn anyway. To be more successful in diplomacy get a good head minister.
