I have tried the game on various difficulty settings and even after leaving the homeland relatively weak Britain has never been invaded. To begin with, the fact that you are on an island and not continental Europe is a huge bonus. The ideas here are by no means the only way to gain a victory, these are just the things that worked well for me. They start with a number of advantages so it is far from impossible to achieve a crushing victory. This guide will suggest some strategies that should help you win as the British. Can you rise to the challenge and develop the home territories while seizing more colonies abroad? Can you rule the seven seas with a well drilled navy protecting your ill gotten gains on the trade routes? Can you defeat the natives, put down rebellions and hold your own against the powerful old nations of Europe? Will you spread the Protestant faith in the face of Catholic opposition and avoid a revolution such as that facing the French? Time to find out as we take a look at the British in Empire: Total War. Many believed they were improving the world as “civilization” was spread at the barrel of a musket and others just seized the opportunity to make a fortune.Įmpire: Total War gives you the chance to see if you can match those achievements and brings back a time when global empire was more than just a dim and distant memory. Of course it was achieved through violent pillaging and widespread slaughter. A steady trade into bustling ports made the country rich and a strong navy combined with an efficient army led to this small, craggy island being the most powerful country on the planet. In the glory days they used to say the sun never set on the British Empire and there were colonies run by the British all across the globe.
