EMPIRE 2 TOTAL WAR: Modders Have Achieved The IMPOSSIBLE!

It’s not often you see a mod in Total War that can effectively do what an ideal officially made game in the series could be like. In this video I’m going to show you all the reasons why, especially with the latest and final update released last week, the mod I’ll be covering today is pretty much the Empire 2 Total War we could ever want and desire.
While Empire 2 Total War might not yet match the stature of mods like Darthmod, Imperial Splendour or Pirates Uber Alles, this latest version modernises the game in so many ways while innovating with new mechanics and expanding faction rosters and replayability in ways that are so far beyond any other mod out there let alone vanilla Empire Total War.

Empire 2 does a lot of really great stuff for the game that for me makes it one of the best mods you can play. The combination of lots of different mods here, the great changes to UI, unit visuals, various mechanics and scripts are super impressive. The only thing I'd want now is completely unlocked map modding to add more regions, cough France cough. Hopefully one day that actually happens. Also, seriously the installation is not easy, consult the doc in the download or ask for help in the discord or here in the video if you're having issues.

One of the most forgotten problems of Empire that must be solved: cities being depicted in the battlefield as two random farms and a town hall or just a hollow fort.

@ppp-vz1mi 10 месяцев назад

There actually are bigger cities if you look outside of battle arena. I think it more represent battles near these locations. For example Battle of Vienna didn't actually took place directly in Vienna. Also from technical perspective, AI struggles at pathfinding, especially during siege battles.

@armandom.s.1844 10 месяцев назад

@@ppp-vz1mi I know, and it makes actually sense as 18th century battles were mostly on the countryside, but the almost total absence of buildings in a game that included the revolutionary mechanic of garrisoning houses and firing through windows, makes sieges and city battles quite hollow.

Since the copyright law doesn't cover stuff that are more than 40 years old after the death of the artist or composer. It's a whole overall, so as almost any of this type, won't work out with the mod. Since it modifies everything on a base level. But we have other optional mods that can be used.

I downloaded it yesterday. I've been playing with the Thirteen Colonies. I must say this is by far the best mod I have ever played for a total war game. There are minor things to be fixed. Some units cannot replenish, cant build walls in settlements and some generals and family tree are missing either their title, or their names. The mod is very playable, no lag and no crashes. I am already in 1720, which I love how each year takes 4 turns. The amount of new units is amazing. The sound of the shots for both land and naval are impeccable. Feels like a totally new game. 10/10 for this mod!

Units should be able to replenish so long as you're using the submod, and settlements don't have walls by design. Forts, however, should have walls.

Empire has been, and might always be, my favorite and most played Total War. If been waiting, and may never get an Empire 2. Darth Mod was a great mod but my biggest frustration with Empire has always been the AI. Nothing sucked the wind out of me more than having the enemy throw their cavalry at me in the beginning then engage me with a broken formation. Many battles began and ended with me just creating a solid formation, even with inferior troops and numbers, and waiting for the enemy formations to just partially throw themselves at me. I had a handful of battles in my Empire Campaigns with Darth Mod that were truly nail bitters that came down to the last few army groups being paired with my general for the morale boost just to steal a victory. Those battles were few and far between but I will download this Mod.

While the installation video says drop the whole mod file into "common" I found that one has to select each file and interpose over the vanilla files for it to secure. Also, be careful to do the same with the script files. In addition, Hard / Hard (standard on Darthmod etc) can be disappointing, as your units break and run at first contact.

This was my biggest gripe with the battle system.

@MgelikaXevi 8 месяцев назад

ty, gonna check it out! For me tho, the worst part of Empire was that it had very low "battle replay_ability" - everything was so uniform and repetitive, that there was no real motivation to play say, as UK when you already played as France - only campaign experience was somewhat fresh, while land and naval battles were literally copy-paste. So, I am actually looking forward to mods that at least make campaign worth replaying by adding events and historical immersion stuff. Not sure if I like mention of more AI armies tho :D , since again, battles are becoming boring really quickly in this game (much faster than they do so in Rome, Medieval, Warhammer etc.)

The morale is the only thing I dislike about this mod. I’ve had similar situations to what you have described happen to me too. Indians throwing axes just walk up, toss and bunch of axes and before I know it my well trained infantry is broken.

@jasonhansen 10 месяцев назад

I would say Imperial Destroyer with VDM is the best so far I would agree with floppy about the unbalanced combat with empire 2 and vdm also is not meant for it either it needs to be that extra help you need to survive with a mod like imperial destroyer

i didn't think it was possible, but here it is. just one question, is there an option or a mod to keep the vassals at the start of the game (like 13 colonies/louisiana/new spain for uk franc and spain ) i liked the kind of mission that had do be done to annex them.

CA really should be taking notes. This is what an Empire/Napoleon II should look like.

So I didnt play TW Empire yet and wanted to start a campaing soon. Does it make sense to dirctly start with the Empire 2 mod or play vanilla first?

@canadianbakin1304 9 месяцев назад

i ruled this game with bayonets and square formation and the sea with 4th rates all the time those should be your go to for early expansion, also the modder just put out an installer that just worked for me :)

@delfinenteddyson9865 9 месяцев назад

I do have a question on the mod: does it allow to force peace between your vassal and another faction or between two vassals of yours?

@ashleyburns6752 10 месяцев назад

Most annoying thing (other than random declarations of war like Prussia declaring war on the British), was that you were often forced to say, conquer France as the British to end the war, what you need is a Napoleon feature where you can make them a vassal.

I still wish people could properly mod the map. It would be nice to have more settlements in the world, or even a fantasy version or two.

At 4:45 and for about a minute afterwards, every time you show the map, I see a Central Asia region, and then I also notice the Americas are all filled in. Like time I checked this mod, it did not have that, and only Imperial Destroyer had it. Does this mod finally fill in the empty regions like ID does? Does it include the Bajar Sultanate in the East Indies trade theatre like ID has? Do any other trade theatres have occupiable regions in them? Are all factions playable? Sorry for the many questions. I've Loyally stuck with ID for years because of the extra regions, and now that I see them here, I want to know more. But was thrown off that some parts in the video the campaign map looked like vanilla. Lastly, what's the orange circle in the Sahara at 4:45? Is that a new region as well?

@alexandrepois 9 месяцев назад

Judging by the thumbnail of this video, I tought the point of it would be how they stole a LOT of things, from units to ideas, from a muuuuuch more fleshed out mod without even asking for permission, called Pirates Uber Alles. Check it out Terminator. You'll love it! :)

@CheriShin21 9 месяцев назад

Glad I found the PUA mod after playing Empire 2. Almost everything that Empire 2 is being praised for, was taken from the PUA mod. Those modders deserve the recognition being given to this mod.

@TheSpicyLeg 9 месяцев назад

Empire was the first time I was disappointed by CA. Not the last, of course, but it was the worst. Having the enemy general streak across the battlefield to go down in a hail of musket shot blew my teenage mind. I was so jazzed for naval warfare (even today, the ships rocking in the water after a broadside barrage gives me chills) only to find the rest of the game was so lacking. I will check this mod out. Maybe these modders can give me the experience I was hoping for at 17.

@TimeTalesTT 8 месяцев назад

Does it include UHD texture mode too?or we have to install it saperatley?

@UlpianHeritor 10 месяцев назад

Yeah. Not to take away from the hard work of the modders, but we really need an actual Empire 2 (meaning brand-new engine). You can put as much cream and frosting on a pile of horse manure as you want, it's still a pile of horse manure.

@markdavidson1049 10 месяцев назад

Does it fix the issue of the game crashing which I think was due to a "memory leak" and also does it fix the Maratha creating dozens of small units just moving back and forth around the map clogging-up the turns?

Is the co-op like Napoleon, or is it true coop with both campaign map and battles? I remember Napoleon having multiplayer campaign, but it only allowed auto resolves iirc.

Quick question, hope i get an answer(: i bought empire 2 month ago and i have 35 Hours playtime, and just now i feel like i know how to actually play the game (i dont get the trading system all the way but it works) now do you guys recommend getting this mod or is it overwhelming, because from this video it looks pretty complicated. So what do you think? (If it is just because its better looking but the gameplay is like 3 times more complicated i dont think im going to have fun with it) im more of an 4 times a month player.
