OK. My first thread!
This is DeValiere’s dream of a perfect Empire TW.
:::: The Dream ::::
===============
1.) No bugs!
2.) Complete World Map, and I mean complete!
3.) Napoleon TW Diplomacy and replenishment / supply / attrition features included, updated to encompass tropical / desert attrition etc
4.) For the ultimate world map, a combined tech tree from Empire TW and Napoleon TW becoming available at more historically accurate dates
5.) Napoleonic era units becoming available and replacing your earlier “Empire” units. Ideally some older units could be upgraded to their later versions (especially Line Infantry, Grenadiers and the like), others would have to be disbanded or maybe have to be taken to home region to be recycled / retrained... Not sure how it would work, but mere details will not get in the way of the dream!!!
6.) Colonial troops for SE Asia, Australasia and Africa etc, and obviously indigenous factions for same... China could be EPIC!!!
7.) Ability to sponsor resistance cells in occupied home regions of other factions and if rebellion is successful, the chance to become that nation's ally and lend it military and economic support.
8.) Ability to also establish consulates in other nations, possibly via a new agent type. This would be with a view to act as a counter balance to other negative factors acting on your diplomatic standing with nations... Maybe even "no consulate, no trade deal" or something.
So, that’s my current dream of an ultimate Empire Total War and dreams are free after all.
What would YOUR perfect Empire TW be like?
