Empire Total War Emergent Factions
Welcome to!A subreddit for all of those who love the Total War series.
Total War: EMPIRE - Definitive Edition. Plus with the various all factions mods you usually get emergent factions which DME doesn’t address at all. As to the OP I can't say with certainty but I have tried to run Minor Factions Revenge and Empire Total Factions with DME and that set up did not work. I, like you, would love to be able to.
What are you guy's favorite factions to play in the GC in Empire in your opinions? I really like Spain and the Ottoman Empire, Spain because it's really easy to take over all of South America, which yield great farms and such, and they are in a great position in the Eastern Hemisphere. The Ottomans I like because, well, i'm a Muslim and plus it's really easy to expand in the beginning. I suck at naval battles but am a beast at land (probably because i've played all of the Total Wars with the exception of Shogun), and you don't get much naval fights for the Ottomans if you pick your enemies wisely.Please post, even if you've barely played!Thanks a lot!:D. Russia or Ottomans.Or the native americans with there insanely overpowered abilities; like being able to walk without being visible.
Bows seem to be better than muskets. They have a longer range and will 1hit just like a musket shot (faster reload aswell). I've also seen native americans fire arrows without appearing on the map as well.
Rain of white streaks as my cavalry was running to flank so other infantry. Their cavarly is also very good (because they use spears).
Their infantry is better in melee. The only real way to beat them is to take on their forces slowly and force them to rout. You also have to make sure that your infantry isn't being pounded by invisible archers. Their armies are also insanely cheap and can produce 'full' armies every couple of turns. I'm glad I at peace with most of the native americans.
It says the Dutch have a strong Navy, but mine always get pummeled by the three major powers in the carribean. :OMrPeanutNot really, they have the best navy.
I love playing as the Dutch because of their naval power. You just need to destroy a commercial port in a region (like Dutch Guyana for example) and build a shipyard/drydock etc.
You will get a lot of good ships and they will be very powerfull. And in the beginning of the game you have the Fluyt ship. It's expensive, but a lot better than the brigs and sloops.

You can defeat the enemy fleets easily.That's what I like about the Dutch. First get rid of the two pirate islands, and spread you navy in the indies and hold 3-4 trade posts. The pirates won't come after you that fast so if you can capture the pirate islands in the Americas, the trade posts in the Indies are all yours. Its amazing how much money you get from it.I also suggest to keep fighting in the Americas. A lot of european nations are in the Americas and you need to be faster/stronger then them.
If you go for India first you will lose your strong position in the Americas and when one of the european nations declares war on you, you will fighting at 3 fronts at the same time and that sucks.I'm in 1740 now, still at peace with Spain but I kicked France out of the game. Paris and Strasbourg are mine, Brussel is still owned by Spain. I got both Dutch and French Guyana, got all the small islands (Leeuward, Marinique etc.), and captured Louisiana from the French and captured all Cherokee Territory. There trade route to Amsterdam is over 25,000 now.I also just started with the Russian Campaign, pretty hard start too.
At war with Georgia and Dagestan at the Caucasus, at war with the Ottomans near Moldavia, and war with Sweden near St. Really hard because a lot of towns need developing and I also need to defend myself on 3 fronts at the same time. I managed to request a peace with Sweden, but they broke it one turn later, hehe. I managed to destroy Georgia and Dagestan, and captured a couple of Swedish regions and pushed them back into Finland.All in all a hard but fun campaign to play too:). As they still haven't bothered to patch the risible AI, I'd say no faction is worth playing. There is simply no way to lose this game as long as you do actually send troops to your objectives.
The AI will do nothing to stop you other than launch nuisance raids and is completely incapable of launching amphibious assaults, thereby making the taking of N. America and the Indian subcontinent a mere matter of attrition. Bogaty Sadly, this is true.
The AI is just too dumb to be a challenge. I am the Brits in the GC and had been taking over the Maratha's territories one by one, and their response was to send a single fixed position artillery unit to retake one of their cities.
I had a full army in that city. That's how bad the AI is.
