Imagine that as part of a peace treaty, you can include a 'Redraw borders' option, significantly altering the political map between you and an enemy.

Now that history is over, imagine that in Empire 2. Near a hundred years after World War 1, legions of gamers modelled their own balance of power system in a game called Empire: Total War, only to annihalate what they created and topple the system.

Well, we can see how that worked out because the Franco-Prussian War and the closely following World War 1 wrecked that concept. The result was a continent that was based on 'balance of power', where no one country would be more powerful than the rest. After Napoleon's downfall in 1815, the Congress of Vienna worked to redraw the map of Europe, whilst restoring the monarchies that were displaced by Napoleon's France. I'm putting it under Expanded Government Options though, so it won't be entirely spread out.ДЇirst, a little history lesson. This really should belong in 'Expanded Government Options', but since I really don't think that it is necessary (I got places to be, man!) I decided to make this it's own section. Ok, I'm expanding on it, so it's not TOTALLY stealing. If you win, you keep your own dynastic ruler and maybe even claim lands of their own. Why not expand that feature and have actual penalties for that war? If the enemy captures your capital, for instance, you should be able to surrender and have a ruler from their dynasty on your throne, forcing an alliance, regardless of your position. If there is one star on each name, that means it is possible both ways.Д¬urrently, Wars of Succession are no different than regular wars, except with a cool little screen saying 'Yo! Austria says fk you!' But first, here's a list of the nations that I have experienced who declared war on me See, this statement alone opens up new possibilities. Wars of Succession generally happen when one nation's line of family declares that it has a relation to another nation's ruler, and once that nation's ruler dies, they should have the throne. However, this lowers happiness and should only be used if church-building and priests are out of the question.ДЄ war of succession happens sometime in the campaign, and seems to only happen in some European nations, although there have been notes of the U.S. You can order a 'crackdown' on populace that do not support your ruler's beliefs. Like Inquisitors would do in Medieval 2: Total War. All nations should have their own missionaries. This therefore increases the need for priests and churches. A line infantry regiment trained in London would have all the strengths it is meant to have, but a Line Infantry regiment trained in Cairo would most likely follow the Islamic religion, which would grant them some boons, but increase the chance of desertion among the men. Troops recruited in regions with differing religions could follow that religion. Personally, I'd love to play as a Buddhist Britain. Being able to change your nation's religion. Well, here's the effects more religion could have. But in the main game, they never really evolved into anything more than public order buffs. Spain was a heavily Catholic country, Great Britain was Angelican for the most part. They certainly had purpose in many of the wars. Imagine if all the religions (and more, if even historical) had more purpose. Thank you guys for the ratings! It really helps to get this known!Д®ver wondered what Buddhism was doing in the game? This is like a thought-provoking piece on the new ideas Creative Assembly could add or re-add to Empire 2 if they ever get down to making it. I believe that there is more in store for Creative Assembly after, but what should Empire 2 have if they ever get down to it? Many of your ideas are different than mine, and you do not have to follow them if you dislike them. So, given that every game but Empire has a sequel, what about us Empire fans who loved the campaigns and nation variety and more? What's next for the series? It's been forgotten now, but there's still a following. It introduced a massive unit roster, which could be bolstered more by DLC packs, and had a great variety of units, nations, and diplomacy options to choose from. However, as the Ottoman Empire has shown us in this game, old doesn't mean bad.Д®mpire was the first game that introduced the 1700's timeline and is the only game to have all three theatres of India, America, and Europe in one. But does that mean we can't hope for Empire 2? The Multiplayer Campaign beta for this game is untouched, the server strength hasn't been upgraded.
