Game Description
Empire: Total War, also known as Empire Total War or simply Total War: Empire, puts you in charge of building and ruling an 18th-century empire. It’s a blend of turn-based strategy on the campaign map and real-time tactical battles on land and sea. Ever tried managing diplomacy, trade, and espionage all at once? Now’s your chance.
What’s the Gameplay Like?
The game splits your attention between strategic planning and fast-paced battles. On the campaign map, you manage resources, negotiate with other powers, and build your economy.
