Posts: 1674 08/29/07 07:22:45 CA Staff and Admin	Tags : None Hi guys, Similar to the Kingdoms Q&A we started back in April, we are now interested in getting your questions for Empire: Total War. Of course we won't be able to reveal everything right away, but we'd love to be able to shed more light in some of the areas you are most interested in. Post away and then I'll use my somewhat questionable interrogation techniques to get the Empire team to dish the dirt! Thanks, Mark O'Connell (aka SenseiTW) *Edit: Our Empire Q&A has now been posted at TotalWarBlog.com! Last Edited By: SenseiTW 10/24/07 06:15:11. Edited 1 time.

Posts: 57 08/29/07 07:35:18	1. Is the whole planet on the map? 2. Will the uprising of new governmental systems be reflected in the game? Will we be able to play as a monarchy or republic and will that affect the gameplay (and if that is not asked to far: how)? 3. Will the game be totally different from M2TW?

Posts: 4589 08/29/07 07:36:23	heheh I think mark will have some difficulties in answering some questions :D afterall every answer will be like a new announcement:) the A's that I can answer is... 1- no... they said it will sonsist of 3 continents supposedly america (north and south) africa, and eurasia (all of europe middle east india and parts of indonesia) 2- It is a high possibility since we know the french revolution will take place as an event and I'm sure republic will be adoptable after it.. or am I wrong? 3-yes... everyone knows that a new engine will be used, plus there'll be some new physics settings in the game...

Posts: 1032 08/29/07 07:39:01	Will every region just have one settlement still? Is it certain there will only be 10 playable factions, if so will the remaining factions be modable? Oh one more thing, when will we get to know all of the playable factions? Last Edited By: Haols 08/29/07 07:44:52. Edited 1 time.

Posts: 1594 08/29/07 07:39:30	I'm wondering if combat won't be a little boring. Won't troops just line of in front of each other and just fire away? Also, will there be army gathering actions such as crusades and jihads in MTW2? Will religion be an important item in the game?

Posts: 196 08/29/07 07:48:46	1. Will distance to capital still effect far away colonies or will it be reduced? 2. Do we get to choose to have a government and a monarchy at the same time or do we have to chooes between the two? 3. Why was this game realeased before kingdoms was even out, dnt get me wrong this game looks great and i love it but why not 6 months later then we wouldnt have to wait as long? 4. Will GB be split into scotland, ireland, wales and england or will the whole of the British Isles be know as Great Britain?

Posts: 13667 08/29/07 08:17:46 Administrator	A lot of new games coming out at the end of this year are cutting off support completely for older hardware (e.g Pixel shader 2.0, SSE), any plans to still support older hardware in Empire?

Posts: 273 08/29/07 08:31:22	1. I believe I've read that only North Africa will be on the map. How will this effect ships traveling from Europe to Asia, as the Cape of Good Hope won't be on the map? 2. It's now possible to build collonies. Is this just about conquering and upgrading a native village or can they be build from scratch? If they can be build from scratch, what will happen to the province in which it is build and that province's settlement? 3. Will the number of provinces in Europe be dramatically decreased? Could you maybe tell us how many provinces the British Isles (or any other area) will have, just to give us an indication? 4. Will America be an apearing faction and if so, how can it be playable?

Posts: 32 08/29/07 08:31:59	excellent idea Sensei. Will replays be still be refought instead of recorded. With ships transporting units will each ship a unit on board etc or will there be transport barges and if units r on ships will they defend themselves or are they (if possible e.g not cav) gonna get up ond eck and and engage in boarding etc. Will ships gain chevrons like before and if so will they be gained by ships sunk or men killed ?? Will there be historic sea battles Will uniforms uprgrade like armour did in the previous games depending on the time period etc Will trade be more important than any previos totalwar game Will sailour of sinking ships swim for it and if so can u have fun shooting or capturing them Will each ship have it's own name readable on it's hull How big is the industrial revolution gonna be on the warfare side of things i no it'll affect ships and econmy but what else movement speed, urest levels? Will this game rock my toe socks

Posts: 106 08/29/07 08:51:40	Is there going to be a feature of naming individual units, or having the game name one for you depending on the region the unit was recruited? regimental naming...off the top of my head... 95th Rifles ( Inspired by Sharpe ;) )

Posts: 121 08/29/07 09:10:53	1. Will castles/fortifications still act as a city or will we be able to construct them where we please despite if a city is in the region in question? 2. Will we se more realistic "consequences" for raising an army and marching long distanses? For ex. will starvation, looting, sicknes, desertion and/or the risk of your soldiers freezing to death during harsh winters be among the new problems the player will have to face? 3. As armies of this time were more or less mobile cities, as families to the soldiers and people who were seeking to profit of of the soldiers traveled along, could CA possibly have some intriguing diplomatic or penalising system which could act at random, as a plague, for example, did in the previous games?

Posts: 155 08/29/07 09:20:23	How are the Physics of naval combat going to work? are there going to be factors to do with the wind/weather etc. Also if America is at all included in the game, towards the end of the campaign would things like Ironclad ships be available?
