Empire: Total War Patch 1.4 Detailed & Dated

 

I am pleased to confirm that update 1.4 will be out in late September.

 

The focus for the update has been AI, both campaign and battle along with improvements to sieges and the naval rebalancing. A lot of work has been put into the campaign and diplomacy AI, focusing on how it wages war, makes alliances and peace as well as use of naval invasions. Battle side improvements have been made to most areas of the AI with the focus on the siege AI which has had major changes made to it. Sieges have also had a lot of work done on them with a lot of bugs fixed, improvements made to pathfinding and how guns and troops on walls work.

 

Changes and fixes:

 

First off, some new items that will be going into 1.4:

# 2 new historical battles: Battle of Rossbach and Battle of Fontenoy. Both available in single player and multi player.

# Missile cavalry can now fire and reload whilst on the move.

 

Balance Changes:

# Overhaul of naval balancing

# There is now a cap on how many of some units you can take in MP. Examples of such units are Ferguson Rifles, many of the Elite Units of the West, and other unique units such as Royal Ecossais etc.

# Dragoons are available from higher building levels and now have fire by rank to allow them to better fulfil the role of mobile infantry.

# Light Dragoons have gained longer range guns to allow them to skirmish better.

# Reworked cavalry costs to better reflect their value on the battlefield.

# Increase in cost to Windbusche Jaegers and Ferguson Rifles.

# Some improvements to projectile balancing.

# Balance improvements made to Road to Independence Episode 3.

 

Additional Fixes & Improvements:

# Significantly increase the rate of naval invasions. Including those across theatres.

# Increase AI aggression and improve use of armies.

# Increase the creation and retention of strong mixed higher level unit armies by the CAI.

# Fix for texture allocation in sprite cache that was causing a memory crash.

# "Backstabber" and "Dishonouring Treaties" diplomatic factors change so don't apply when joining an ally in war.

# Fix for some towns in regions still giving bonuses to income when damaged for raiding.

# Improvements to siege AI in how it approaches and assaults walls.

# Units with fire by rank now fire correctly when behind walls.

# Bug with fort cannon targeting fixed, making them much more accurate.

# Many fixes to sound bugs improving overall sound across the game.

# Fixed issue with default battle preference not being saved.

# Fix to include protectorate owned regions in explicitly-specified victory condition regions.

# Various crash fixes.

# Fixes to various group formations to improve formations used by player/AI.

# Fix for routing unit cards losing faction colour.

# Fix for auto unlimbering causing the attack order to terminate prematurely resulting in an inability to stop the unit from firing.

# Fix for troops on fort walls not using fort gun range when judging when to fire on enemy troops.

# Fix for fort guns using wrong targeting formula.

# Fixes to fort pathfinding and use of ropes.

# Multiplayer soft lock fixes.

# Cumulative updates to improve AI invasion behaviour.

# Bug fixes and improvements to AI counter offers.

# Improvements to AI diplomatic valuation of military access and alliances.

# Fixed bug that was causing issues with embarking an army containing multiple characters.

# Minor tweak to stop some ship sails endlessly play furling sound.

# Fixed path blocked bug (pathing into ZoC).

# Diplomacy counter-offer improvements.

# Fix for fast forward not working as intended on some PCs. Will always speed up if camera is still, if camera moves fast forward will be as fast as possible on each PC.

Μα και στο κανονικό campaign δεν είχες north america map? Και το expansion με τον Ναπολέων θα βγεί μετά?

[kostacurtas]

Το Napoleon: Total War δεν είναι expansion του Empire: Total War αλλά νέο ξεχωριστό παιχνίδι.

 

Αναμένεται το Φεβρουάριο του 2010.

[LuxJaja]

Α δε παίζω. Μας αγχώνουν. Κάτσε ρε παιδάκι μου να το λιώσουμε λίγο ακόμα το ETW και φέρτε και το expansion.

Empire: Total War - Warpath Grand Campaign Integration Explained

 

Wondering if the Empire: Total War - Warpath downloadable content would integrate into the existing Grand Campaign? Then wonder no more:

 

1. Warpath comes with its own dedicated North America map, expanded beyond the original featured in Empire.

2. Warpath does not open up the Native American factions for the single player full campaign.

3. Warpath does open up the Native American nations for the multiplayer campaign beta, allowing you to use the full unit list and play as the Native Americans with / against friends.

Empire: Total War Half-off Sale Begins as New Campaign Launches

 

Creative Assembly's strategy opus Empire: Total War expanded considerably today, with plenty of new content now available for purchase.

 

The $10 Warpath Campaign promises a more detailed North American map with which to conquer using five extra Native American factions, new units and technologies.

 

Three new units--the Death's Head Hussars, USS Constitution and Dahomey Amazons--have also been added to the existing $2.50 Special Forces Units DLC. Anyone that's already purchased that pack will get the three new units automatically.

 

On top of the new content, Empire itself is now half-off on Steam--or $25--until October 12. Considering the big patches of late, it may be an opportune time to jump on board the Empire boat.

Ωραίο addition αλλά άπαιχτο. Μετά από τέσσερις γύρους απλά κάνεις πόλεμο με όλους. Και εντάξει οι κοκκινούληδες σα και σένα αλλά οι ευρωπαίοι δε νικιούνται. Ειδικά όταν σου επιτίθονται και οι πέντε παράλληλα. Αλλά τα units και το όλο feel μου αρέσει αρκετά.

[Snoob]

Από ό,τι έχω διαπιστώσει ως τώρα, μόνο με ανταρτοπόλεμο βγάζεις άκρη με τους Ευρωπαίους. Κοινώς, πιάνεις τα δάση σε κομβικά σημεία, ρίχνεις τυράκι (καλοζυγισμένες ομάδες με όσο το δυνατόν καλύτερο xp) και κοιτάς αν θα τσιμπίσει η AI...

 

Δεν πετυχαίνει πάντα, αλλά όταν πετυχαίνει είναι εντυπωσιακό (ειδικά αν γίνει και ambush και τους βρεις σε φάλαγγα).

[LuxJaja]

Με τον μόνο λαό που έχω καταφέρει κάτι (δηλαδή να αντέξω πάνω από 5 γύρους) είναι οι Huron. Αυτή τη στιγμή κρατώ Ισπανούς, Plains και Εγγλέζους. Αλλά μόλις πέσουνε οι Cherokee τότε θα έχω και Αμερικάνους και the End.

 

Υ.Γ. το παιχνίδι είναι πάντα ρυθμισμένο στο Hardest, Hardest εννοείται.
