FRANCE UNITS EXPLAINED EMPIRE TOTAL WAR ETW GUIDE 

Yes it is 😁

For real

Eh, why would you ever want to go back to absolute monarchy? Constitutional monarchy is much better and gets you the same units.

@@teemuvesala9575 probably wants the ability to change his government ministers freely. Also I know I’m late.

@@thatnnoob6109 Changing the ministers freely is basically irrelevant compared to bonuses you get with constitutional monarchy vs absolute monarchy. You can build entire regions full of industrial buildings with no separate public order buildings and still have public order under control with constitutional monarchy. You'll make lot less money as absolute monarchy since you have to build public order buildings to just barely keep your population happy, and even then you may have some issues. Constitutional monarchy is basically cheating as industrial buildings don't give you any negative public order, as you only have nobility and middle classes. Its lower classes that are by far the hardest to keep happy and absolute monarchy has even constant penalty toward lower class happiness... At least in republic they're bit easier to keep happy.

@@teemuvesala9575Exactly I don’t get why people like Absolute Monarchy when you make so much more money with Constitutional Monarchy. Ability to change ministers is irrelevant because the candidates usually aren’t much better than what you have anyways and like you say you have to build happiness buildings (and/or spend a lot on garrisons) to keep the lower class happy whereas under CM you can just keep building up your industry and not worry about happiness.

Thanks so much Abe! You da man

Nice try.....It doesn't matter.......Dave will continue to butcher the pronunciation😛😜😝

He is so right lmao 😂

@@stephenmichalski2643 just use line inf and some light inf that will be enough to win.In Empire Total War line inf is basic unit in the game so you will pretty much confident theae guys you can win just only using line inf in the game.

Thanks I have a plethora of them

I actually think I will be doing a russia campaign very soon.

@@FaramirsRangers WOOT, sign me up,

yes that is very true. I will be covering that in a seperate artillery video after I finish all the nations but you are so correct.

So right it is guard artillery

@@FaramirsRangers i have a question, where can i meet some empire noobs to play with?

@@zira9827 I will start a steam group maybe that will help

@@FaramirsRangers oh nice

France's Artillery is amazing. It has 24lb Guard and 18lb Horse Guard that no other nation has. Super good loading and accuracy. Do not overlook these amazing units that only France has.

I hear ya. I like them too

Their Line is among the best in the game.

ATK Productions especially in world wars lol

In 1806 it was quite the opposite.

I keep seeing u

During the French Revolutionary Wars, and the Napoleonic Wars, not that much. The Prussians even suffered great defeats.

During World War I, it wasn't that easy for germans either.

No not in the same way because of the changes to range. It will work if you demast the ships but that is huge risk in darthmod. Basically they force you into slog it out naval battles where it becomes super hard to micro your fleet. This is why a huge percent just auto resolve making what was a fun part of the game disappear

@@FaramirsRangers ahh thank you! Yea it's a shame that was probably my favourite part of the game, I guess it's more realistic but would be cool if it was optional. I was so surprised when I tried to sail against the wind and my fleet was practically stationary haha 😂

Honestly I don’t even see it as realistic because I truly doubt that even Great Britain had 50 fleets of all 1st rate ships like you see people have in darthmod lol. I would like to get a survey up to see how many people actually fight all there darthmod naval battles lol

@@FaramirsRangers oh wow! Yea that's crazy I had no idea people resorted to that... I'm still in very early game in my first try of a darth mod campaign, will be interesting to see if I end up having todo the same. Its my favourite total war due to the naval aspect. I always like trying to have my fleet based around what was at the battle of Trafalgar which I think was basically third rates with a couple of first rates as flag ships Yea I'd be really interested to know if that's what the majority do too. I'm so glad there's still a channel with empire tactics videos, very happy I found you 👍

Glad to have you here. If you like darthmod you should also check out twmala he has some great campaigns. Also seth chiaro productions has great cinematic battles on his. I’m also planning on a livestream tomorrow where I will be discussing empire on RU-vid from its start in 2009 with the likes of POM and Heir of Carthage to where it is today on RU-vid. Should be good. Maybe I will have some guests on the stream too. We shall see.

right lol

Agree but the real crime will be exposed when we cover Russia

Well french has the best line and elite inf reserve and the best horse artilery so their missile cavarly is weak.

with france you keep your regular units. I don't remember ever seeing them as France. I will go to an old campaign save to check for sure shortly.

I stand corrected. They do take the place of swiss guards and Maison du Roi. I guess my age is showing now.

I am going to check it real quick

Yeah I did the same on an old campaign. I guess I’m just used to seeing some of the other units and assumed they didn’t lose the others. I will say though if memory serves (which I just proved it usually doesn’t) that all the other European nations lose all other guards for rep guards. France at least keeps a few.

@@FaramirsRangers yes I do belive so I just wanted to play the game again
