Had another fun night with Fraps and Empire Total War

. Just having to much fun.

Nice Prussian Charge incoming on some militia.

The Charge hitting, they routed soon afterward.

Just have to love the smoke effects.

Nice little melee fight here, silly militia and no bayonets.

More melee.

Thank god they weren't Swedish pike men, those guys are tough.

Great mod, I'm loving taking screen shots as you can see. :whistling

Re: APE: TI Screenshots and Videos! Cleaned!

Emerging from the woods on a foggy spring morning, the 16th and 2nd Infantry march onto the field of battle just east of Paris, ready to take revenge on the Spanish forces who liberated the city at the cost of lives of British soldiers just a few weeks prior.

They are joined by General Tory, a Parisian by birth, but of English noble line and education. His army arrays itself in a line stretching more than a mile wide.

Harassed by Spanish artillery firing into the mists, the Red Line marches forward, undaunted, into the teeth of the deranged king's army. They will take not one step backwards, either emerging on top of Spanish dead, or buried in that shallow valley.

British guns fire as one, and all down the line, the Spanish lines falter. The Spanish troops are inexperienced and outnumbered, facing vastly superior numbers and battle-hardened veterans of the Louisiana Campaign. The resistance to the Queen's rule is short-lived, and the Spanish are driven from the field in shameful retreat.

Glad I have screenshots to post! Great naval shots, Grandpa!

Here is a large preview of some of the changes we are trying to make more evident in the APE: TI Battle AI;

AI unit firing out of full formation;

--

Here is how the last battle I fought went;

On approach, the AI is double lined and waiting;

As we approach the AI breaks off ONE unit;

Who move up and fire, followed by the rest of the AI army, still in double line;

When they break, the rest of the AI units moving up in double line commit, one unit even firing from behind another AI unit;

With no leapfrog;

And more firing from behind, this shot is right after the other two units ran in front of it, no leapfrog;

The units broke quickly as they were militia against the Prussian Life Guard and the Potsdamer Riesengarde -- the musket firefight would have lasted longer!

Let's hope we can make this more common!

Ok so here we got a screen of my Swedish campaign map at year 1715.
The 7 gray Provinces is previus Ottoman controled areas witch it seemes they culdent keep under control so they all clamed independans and formed one big rebelion kingdom :laughter:

Will uppdate this post with Some more screens soon! Just gota Watch thrue all of the replays(I have replayed every battle I have faugt, think its 18 battles so far). :tongue:

EDIT: It was 20 battles

Here we go, here you gott some screenes from a small battle in the "Polish-Russian war" originaly caled "The Polish war" but later got the name "Polish-Russian war" thanks to there where a cuple of large battles in russian teretory betwen Swedish and Russian forces.
Anyway enjoy these screens, from a rather small battle

And also my "12th" battle

Swedish dragoons firing at the Russian artilery possition and at the same time at the russian general.

Swedish artillery firing on the russian artillery.

Swedish artillery continues there bombardment of the russian artillery after loosing 1 of there 3 artillery pices.

Swedish artillery looking out over the battlefield.

Russian artillery flee the battle after the cowardly general routed.

Seconds before the Russian artillery men meets there doom.

Smoke after some newly fired artillery

That was it from me for this time

grandpa · Feb 2, 2010

gotta love the arty, hehe

hey e1, has anyone noticed any particular faction that has a better BAI than the other?
IMHO my battles with Spain have shown an improved BAI versus Poland in particular. I have seen Spain march an entire line to my line, touching and not freaking out, and fire more than one volley before rushing my line. Whereas the Polish charged the whole way (touching and not freaking out), yet never firing a shot. Was wondering if anyone could look into it, and then someone a whole lot smarter than me can see what is diff. about them in thier stats...or wherever you look . lol of course being the noob I am, I didnt save the battle for the entire spanish line movement, but I do have them holding thier line, while engaging mine. Cheers ev1. :thumbsup2

Spain

Spain, touching, advancing through thier lines toward mine, not freaking out

spain, engaging

Poland

Never fired the first shot, never slowed down.

Here is a short video on some of the progress being made! Enjoy!

this doesnt happen for me....atleast not all the time...could terrian, fences, walls etc hamper that? i assume it would in real life so maybe.

custom battle: exhibit A....

now this could very well be from the fact that i had light infantry out in front to harass the main line as it advnced. Th Spanish charged them after firing once and then stopped to fire a few volleys at the flanks of my main line, but the center kept charging straight at mine. the above image is of that moment

doesnt really matter because the Spanish crushed me, i had battle difficulty on hard. campaign is slightly better than this though.

BroneSaw · Mar 1, 2011

Yeah, there is about as much done as possible for the BAI -- most work relied on the CA actually patching it.

There could be a lot of things that come into play; your movement, the army composition, and other factors. Sometimes the BAI performs pretty well, other times the same old issues are present.

I almost always get decent results and I attribute this to the campaign battle maps with varied terrain coupled with my active movement of armies aginast the AI.

I have RARELY had good results with just standing still while fighting the AI on grassland. I have had some great results as well, though, lol!

Pope Gregorius I · Mar 2, 2011

just one screen, not great quality, yet a cool image.

I just wish Empire had the same option as Medieval II to have all the UI stuff on mouseover setting. the UI in Empire and Nappy is definitely a DOWNgrade fro Medieval II :thumbsdow

and some epic fail on part of a Prussian general who thought he was the second coming of Frederick Barbarossa or something and had vowed to take out the British single handed!

the feared highland charge...a bloody madrush it was

very nice indeed....+rep

The "Elite Provincials" Watching over the march, these are veterans of pretty much every battle the UP have fought in Europe...

...and unlike some of their infantry brethren they don't forget their equipment, like bayonets.

The 5th Rate Gideon moves to assist the 4th Rate Triton who despite of only being lightly damaged, took an unlucky hit by an French Indiaman causing it to start sinking.

The French however are a bit lower priority for Rescue....

How did you guys change the unit sizes?

Wollollooo!

grandpa · Apr 20, 2011

Govna...that is an awesome shot. You should seriously consider posting it on the picture of the week.
If you really want to change unit sizes you can look to the empire mod tools...tutorials,...and download "pack file manager", and give'er a go.
There are some extremely good tutorials in the modding tutorial section.

Thanks grandpa. By chance do you know where the picture of the week thread is?
