EU 3 and Empires won't they overlap each others?

Against Erie Edelward his bowe-strynge drewe;
But Harold at one blowe made tweine his head;
He dy'd before the poignant arrowe flew.
So was the hope of all the issue gone,
And in one battle fell the sire and son.

They're very different types of games; I don't see much overlap, really.

I think i will prefer Empires Total War when its been de-vanilla'd by modders. wash out the colours of units, historical names, places etc.

TW games has always been better looking, with massive battles that player itself can command, but loosing in strategic and diplomatic aspects in the game.
Most likely this won't change when Empires TW is released, it will be much simpler, better looking and in general made for the masses where EU3 takes more realistic and historical approach but due to its old looking graphics and harder game play will have smaller, but even more loyal audience.

Most of the time period covered by Empires is already covered by EUIII without NA, if I'm not mistaken...

How long until Empires is out? When is EUIII out? Get the drift?

you mean, completely change the game?Originally Posted by Marku
i agree with u tbh (on the subject of modders improving CA's games)

Re: EU 3 and Empires won't they overlap each others?
Yes, all CA games are better when the fans finish them. Too bad all the hard coded BS makes the games still unplayable for me. I refuse to play a Medieval or later period game with vast rebel territory.

Damn i played EU3 like 10 times longer and M2tw is 10 times bigger (well in bites only ofcourse :p)

And EU3 is 10 times the better game.Damn i played EU3 like 10 times longer and M2tw is 10 times bigger (well in bites only ofcourse :p)
With Empire I dont even trust CA to make a good core game to mod from. Especially since they add pointless things like ship combat, which will of course take programming and QA time from regular combat and the campaign map, which will make the two elements taken from the previous games even worse.

EU3 Campaign Map and AI + Empires battles = win
Re: EU 3 and Empires won't they overlap each others?
Bleh, for a game like EUIII, tactical battles would make it a LOT more tedious to play. The current system used in EUIII is perfect.

Re: EU 3 and Empires won't they overlap each others?
Yeah the idea of what "total war" is in TW is a lot different than in EUIII (more realistic in EUIII, IMO)

Re: EU 3 and Empires won't they overlap each others?
I see the reason they did make all of those rebel territories. Imagine how long a single turn would take if EVERY faction on the map historically is in game. In EU3 it isn't as bad because the graphics are simplified, but in TW it could take forever. TW games have their place, as do EU games. They are both separate genres, really.

Kingdoms was better in this regard.
According to the Theory of War, which teaches that the best way to avoid the inconvenience of war is to pursue it away from your own country, it is more sensible for us to fight our notorious enemy in his own realm, with the joint power of our allies, than it is to wait for him at our own doors.

The rebels are not "rebels" they are independant minor nations. I don't mind them.
