About Total War: EMPIRE

Command the seas, control the lands, forge a new nation, and conquer the world. Total War: EMPIRE transports the franchise to the 18th century, the Age of Enlightenment—a time of political upheaval, military breakthroughs, and radical ideas, all meticulously depicted in-game.

Total War: EMPIRE introduces revolutionary innovations, including 3D naval battles. For the first time in the Total War series, you can command individual ships and massive fleets against stunning maritime landscapes filled with realistic water and weather effects, which significantly impact your glorious triumphs or humiliating defeats. After bombarding enemies with cannon fire, get up close and board enemy ships, leading your men in hand-to-hand combat on the decks of these wooden giants.

Additionally, Total War: EMPIRE features enhanced 3D battles and a turn-based campaign map unique to Total War. Real-time battles with cannons and muskets present new challenges for players, requiring mastery of new formations and tactics as gunpowder becomes increasingly pivotal to warfare. The campaign map, often considered the heart of Total War, includes new and updated elements like trade, diplomacy, and espionage systems with agents; a revamped user interface; and improved advisors. The map has expanded significantly, allowing players to seize the riches of India, conquer Europe, and for the first time, unlock the untapped potential of the United States.
