It is not a game I would recomend anymore, as ETW is much more rich in development in all aspects, and might get quite boring at the mid to late game,once you have actually conquered 1/3 to 1/2 of Europe and noone can oppose you, so there's no real danger or risk after this point. It's an 80-100% strategy game (depending on whether you want to play the action fights or let it to computer to decide), where you can deploy troups, build all sorts of buildings (barracks, trading, ports, universities, hospitals, etc), create alliances, declare war/truce and these sorts of stuff. This game is basically a precursor to ETW starting at the French Revoluton at 1789, where you choose one of the great forces (GB, France, Prussia, Austria, Russia) on the quest to conquer the whole Europe. It kinda surprises me that has no reviews or ratings at all as it was quite decent at his time, obviously before Empire Total War arrived (ETW). So I felt like spending 10 minutes to write a review about it. I would definitely not recommend Hearts of Iron 3 if you are looking to have "fun.I was checking my old games the other day and stumbled across to it's dvd disc and gave it a shot after more than 10 years. But yeah, there definitely is a learning curve. There are also really informative youtube tutorials and moderately helpful in-game resources as well. Alternatively, if you want to start in Crusader Kings 2, I would recommend starting a british isles games to learn the mechanics. Just start as a medium power and play it a couple times to learn the ropes. Europa Universalis 4 is extremely complex, but also really addictive and rewarding. The battle mechanics are quite good.ĮDIT: If ya'll haven't tried the Paradox grand strategy games, I would give them a shot.

I actually only know about this game because I played the demo on a PC Gamer disc quite religiously as a kid. Knowing about this from total war is not out of the question.

Hell, even TW: Rome was already out before this game. Shogun Total War 1 actually came out in 2002(?) I think. Imperial Glory is better than any Total War game imo (let's not even talk about the derping animations in battle of total war games).

Imperial Glory came out in 2005, while Empire came out 2009? The fact that both of you heard of Total War before Imperial Glory is mind blowing. I love working on a great economy in order to fund an enormous, unstoppable army :D It's a shame about the lack of empire building though. Personally I don't care too much about controlling the battles myself, as it's the overall strategy that interests me. You can't play the turn-based campaign in multiplayer, which is probably due to the huge amount of time that it. Originally posted by Mark, a musical sasquatch:I was introduced to Imperial Glory as a kid through my dad. In terms of multiplayer, Imperial Glory only limits you to real-time battles. They have the mechanics you are looking for, though battles are automated and you have no real control over them.

Plus the games are focused on only military aspects, so there's no empire building or diplomacy really. Only thing is those games are pretty complex and require a fair bit of effort to learn. You /might/ like the Wargame series, then? In the campaign, battles are forced when opposing armies share the same territory. This is the case in many board games (Risk and Game of Thrones Board Game spring to mind), but I haven't seen this feature in a single Total War game. I like games with the territory borders, where you cannot have your units and an enemy unit in the same territory without it forcing a battle.

I really don't like that, and that's completely different to Imperial Glory. For example, in the one I played (which I was told was the closest to Imperial Glory), you had to chase down enemies who were in the same territory as your units just to fight them. Neither of them seem to close enough to Imperial Glory though. No idea how he found it though.Īnd I don't think I said I have never played Total War. I was introduced to Imperial Glory as a kid through my dad. Originally posted by LOGAN THE HAPPY, DUDLEY:THE FACT THAT U HAVENT TRIED TOTAL WAR BEFORE THIS GAME IS MIND BOGGLIN
