Joey Lock Posted September 27, 2008 Posted September 27, 2008 Imperial Glory Anyone heard of this before? I was searching through play.com when I came across this and downloaded a Demo. It was awesome! I defeated the Austrians in Hanover hands down but when I was fighting in Cyrenaica I lost badly with only 30 men taking cover in a House with over 100 Austrain Ground troops, 30 Calvalry and Artillery bombarding it. I had to retreat... This is my favourite Picture: So detailed. Others: Anyone got it? I need to buy the full version! It looks much better than upcoming Empire: Total War! Quote
Joey Lock Posted September 27, 2008 Author Posted September 27, 2008 Is the Demo for MAC, also? Demo Link I know play.com has it for Mac but not for PC anymore... Here Quote

Zorro Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 (edited) I will take notice of it, I am still new to this forum (less then 2 weeks) and I did not know all those functions yet. Your post is a reason to learn it and while posting this, I actually have learned how to use the functions it had to offer. Thanks for pointing this out BTW Edited September 28, 2008 by zorro3999 Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted September 28, 2008 Governor Posted September 28, 2008 This game has quite nice artwork. Do we know if the first and third images from Joey Lock's first post are actual screen shots from the game or are they merely artwork? Quote
Imperial_Guard Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 (edited) Anyone got it? I need to buy the full version! It looks much better than upcoming Empire: Total War! I HAVE IT, its a bit like Hearts of Iron/europe universalis, but easier to control and manage! It is a cool game and I used to play it A LOT !! Have it too! fantastic game! very addicting and excellent graphics! Has anyone else heard of the new Total War game entitled "Empire Total War"? it takes place during the 18th century, apparently is the first in the series to have naval combat!

Scouty Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 This game has quite nice artwork. Do we know if the first and third images from Joey Lock's first post are actual screen shots from the game or are they merely artwork? Might be screen shots, but with really, really good physics engines/graphics card. I just played the demo and it's quite fun. I'm finding the Battle of Cyrenaica extremely annoying, because, no matter HOW strong I set my defenses, infantry walk right through my line and instantly kill the howitzer crews. Of course, they got their own cannons, which I can't get near because they have puppy guard Cavalry units protecting it, rendering any attack on those batteries useless. If my guys are in a Square, Cavalry don't attack; the second I go into a line of battle, they go start charging. Controlling the houses provided there didn't help, considering that the Cavalry units just up and walked right into it, killing all the guys in there, without any hope of escape. Quote
MagPiesRUs Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 I bought a copy off TradeMe, but unfortunately the game didn't work. The seller was nice enough to give us our money back though. Nevertheless, the game looks very good, although it's rather disappointing that there is no morale system included and that the faction unit rosters are practically the same : Personally, I will wait for Empire Total War, as it is only 5 or so months away... This game has quite nice artwork. Do we know if the first and third images from Joey Lock's first post are actual screen shots from the game or are they merely artwork? By looking at them, I'd say that the first one is art, but the second one is from the actual game. Quote
Captain Cavinano Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Oh, I've downloaded the demo Quote
Scouty Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 I just beat the Battle of Cyrenaica. Taking the highest ground there was a smart tactical move. I was able to fire my cannons on their infantry way before they got near me. Granted their cavalry, but of course, went straight to the cannons to destroy them. This is a really fun game, and if I had the chance, I'd get it. Quote

I did what you said and only had to ruin 1 more Cannon and Calvalry but the Horses got my Cannons and Men... Quote
Manta Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Doesn't this belong somewhere else? I'm gonna download the demo and check it out. Quote

Did you have your infantry completely surround your batteries? (except for the back, which the mountains take care of that.) Try to intercept their cavalry before they get a chance to destroy your cannons Quote
Manta Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Can anyone say if this is the right forum for this discussion? I thought it belonged in Community. Quote
Zorro Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 My favorite are the dragoons, cause they have great ranged attacks and still a good cavalry meleeattack. And they are fast and have a good price/quality. But most infantry units have even better price/quality nonenthless... Quote
Joey Lock Posted September 28, 2008 Author Posted September 28, 2008 Can anyone say if this is the right forum for this discussion? I thought it belonged in Community. This is the correct forum if its a Pirate Forum, there has been some Threads about Voyage Century and lots of others. No offence but why did you post twice about if this is the Correct forum? My favorite are the dragoons, cause they have great ranged attacks and still a good cavalry meleeattack.And they are fast and have a good price/quality. But most infantry units have even better price/quality nonenthless... I hate Dragoons because they attack your Artillery...You would proberbly need alot to break through the Infantry and get to Artillery. Quote
