Looks like the big surprise will be a multiplayer campaign ! !! ! !

What are they saying in dutch Arjan ? :scratch:

They 've played Naval and Land battles: It's really intense
there's a episodic campaign and a normal campaign the episodic campaign consists of 3 parts: Colonizing Jamestown and the rest of American. Defending your colonies against French. And playing with 13 US states Vs Britain

They say the Naval Battles work really good. Nice graphics, you can zoom in far really intense.

The game adapts. You can build more than one thing a region. If you have lower taxes in one region people will start to move there. If you play a historical battle ( in episodic campaign ) that turns out differently there will be little movies that adapt to it

Land Battles:

Realistic smoke (quite a lot) but doesnt last long. Weather makes a difference. Frost can freeze your guns, Fog or blizzard makes your units less accurate. Rain makes powder wet.

Game is not too f***ing heavy but still quite heavy. If you can play Medieval 2 Total War properly you can play Empire total war

Soon a preview by these mo*** fuc****.

Thanx Arjan for the translation.

Well what I love to hear is the frost that would make your guns unusable.

:twisted:

Speaking of Dutch, I actually just did some research and found that my surname isn't German, but actually comes from Drenthe.  God dammit....

Whats your surname then Jakob?

"Felts"but it was originally "Van der Feltz"
