#Empire total war map 1700 Patch

The map has been updated as far as is possible under the Empire: Total War engine.

The Campaign AI will most likely be left completely untouched, but the Battle AI may be edited slightly in order to take into account the difference in weaponry and tactics in the late 19th Century from what it was in 1700.

On another note, I think this game could really benefit from some fancy tech like GPU accelerated physics or something because I'm on a 4GHZ i7 and if I have a sea battle with say, 10 ships vs 10ships the framerate crawls along just enough to make it bearable and this is after they released their 'multithreaded' patch (which helped alot btw).Victoria: Total War will use the tried and tested DarthMod Campaign and Battle AIfor the optimum performance of the game's AI. I agree that making peace is still hard if you've been at war for a long time (I'm at around 1750 and France and Spain have hated me since 1700 despite numerous offers of peace) but with 1.5 sometimes they'll counter offer with some interesting deals (usually the smaller states-the Barbary states are making peace with me in every campaign). I don't know where you people with the Diplomacy problems have come from because that sounds more like 1.2 to me- in my current campaign I own a ton of regions and still have like 4 allies that are happy with me.

In my experience, I had a CTD with some of Nvidia's drivers so makesure you have the latest, 191.06 or something, whatever the latest WQHL is has worked best for me- so before you blame the game makesure you are up to date. I'll keep it installed but I don't think it will remain so very long, I need more space for Borderlands in about two weeks.

I don't 'regret' buying Empire anymore (I did regret it before 1.4), I played it recently on-line, it was. I thought about buying Napoleon, but I decided to go for other games instead, Borderlands and two others, I've had my fill with the 1800's time period and the generally boring battles it 'offers', I just prefer to see melee clashes with shields and swords between two armies like raged animals instead of lined infantry standing still and falling like little statues one after the other, as a 'spectator' it ain't very exciting compared to the others, but that's just me. I just prefer their respective context and time periods. If I do that in 1.5 now sometimes they hesitate, they split their forces, they move back, they change between walking and running stances, and sometimes they send cavalry charging WITHOUT their general, which is perhaps the first time I've seen that happen in a Total War game (that means their general is usually surviving much longer in 1.5 than before, which in turn means better overall troops morale and more challenge for the player).īut, despite all of the improvements I still believe that both Rome and Medieval 2 are generally better. It has its problems still, Naval invasions, path-finding issues during sieges (a lot less than before though), but overall it's much better (yes, much) than it was at release, that's for sure, the one thing I really like now is the flanking maneuvers based on the situation (dynamically, or so it seems) rather than by pre-sets, for instance, before 1.4 when I placed Grenadiers as my second line and Line Infantry as my first line and made all of them walk towards the enemy in a straight line then the enemy A.I would always try to flank me the same way. Since 1.4 and a little more since 1.5 the A.I is not 'incompetent' anymore.
