Empire: Total War - Games - Facepunch Forum

That might also make the game unplayable FPS wise.

Well that is everyones own problem.

Sent a small fleet of six 2nd raters near the coast of Portugal to gauge their strength. Immediately five Portuguese galleons and one brig attacked me. And I kicked their asses. My war against Persia is going quite well. Took two towns now. Also the Ottomans are attacking them from the other side, so there's no way the Persians will last long, getting sandwiched between two powerful nations.

They need to make a modern day total war. Or at least a world war 2 one.

[QUOTE=Xystus234;14089403]They need to make a modern day total war. Or at least a world war 2 one.[/QUOTE] But then it wouldn't be a Total War game... the whole point of TW is that you control 1000s of soldiers on a single battlefield. The Second World War just didn't work like that.

[QUOTE=Xystus234;14089403]They need to make a modern day total war. Or at least a world war 2 one.[/QUOTE] That wouldn't even be a total war game, that would just be another generic RTS.

I haven't read this thread but I just wanted to inform you guys I love this game. There you go.

I would have liked this game if I could run a skirmish match on high settings without the engine telling me "Lol Fuck you guy, I run bad 20 frames now". So I have to try and combat the engine by set it down to medium settings, "Bitch, i freeze now".

Some questions. What do trade ships do? I built a bunch, but nothing seems to have changed, and they don't seem to have any special abilities. Is there anyway to replenish the entire army without individually selecting each of them? How do I name my own Ships/Battalions/Generals/Agents/Cities?

Alternatively, shift click. 3: Right click on unit icon, rename at top, where it says '1st regiment of foot' or whatever.

Minor Theatres?

[QUOTE=TrouserDemon;14092952]Minor Theatres?[/QUOTE] It really confused me for a while too, just look for where some of the other rectangles go, on each major theater (America, Europe, India) there is usually a travel rectangle that goes to a minor theater (East Indies, Madagascar, some other places that I forget...)

Yeah, I found that, but it's all infested with pirates, gonna have to send my navy to clean it out.

The trade theatres are all infested with pirates? Damn. But how much income does it bring in per trade ship after you park them there?

This is really pissing me off whenever I capture a new region my game crashes, really halted my invasion in Russia (I'm playing as Sweden) anyone know if there is a way to fix this. Sorry if there is bad grammar in there but its 2am and I got up at 6:45.

Ugh. Anyone else get horribly uneven framerates in this game? My computer can handle it. It runs at about 20-30fps all the time at 1280x1024 all medium with no AA or AF, but I get random framerate drops. I've made sure all unnecessary programs are closed, and I can't figure out for the life of me what's wrong. It's not even when I zoom in and it renders more detail, it just happens randomly every 20 seconds or so. My FPS drops from the usual down to about 5 FPS and less. I've tried setting it at 1024x768 with everything set to low but to no avail. Same framerate issue.

So, are we going to organise some online games of this, particularly when they patch in multiplayer campaign?

I'd love to, but a few of us have some problems with joining games. Like error messages saying "Game was closed" or "No response from host" show up.

I get that sometimes, but I can connect the majority of times. Add me on steam if you want to try and play a game, I'm sure you can guess the name. You might want to add me through my email address, in case there's another person with my name, and you can get that from my MSN name in my profile.

Q4560 2.66 9800gtx+ 4 gigs ram I'd believe thats a poorly coded engine, if it's runs around 20 frames on High. Then when the game was set to medium settings, the system freezes after a few minutes... You must be an angry person.

The games engine is fine, at least on GPU level (I can play on high 1680x1050 on a 8800GTX). They should focus on the crashes, afterall we all knew it was going to be a demanding game, you shouldn't be surprised.
