This is not clickbait you can destroy the British in one turn, however the process is very intricate. Enjoy! Make sure to like and sub because I'm aiming to hit 1k subs by the end of this year.
One more piece of advice; you can give the conquered territory to Louisiana to remove resistance to foreign occupation and stop them rebelling, and annex Louisiana later. Though I would recommend destroying the school in England first.
He did. See my answer. He concentrated his army unopposed, sent his fleet to Antilla as a diversion, and when the fleet appear in Gulf of Gascoign, it should have confronted the split British fleet. Won or lost, the battle would have freed the other French fleet in Brest to cover the invasion flotilla against the damaged British fleet. Time for the British blockade forces to come back from Spain, London was lost. But the French Admiral did not dare to fight and lose a battle, he will do it later, in a pointless battle at Trafalgar.
Love that Edinburgh/ Scotland's reponse is just "Oh noooooo, don't take me out of the Uniooooon! I suppose you do have guns thoooough" *happily joins France*
Lmao I've never ever thought to cheese by spamming generals as if they're mercenaries in Rome TW. Good shit man, and always nice to see someone else still posting Empire content all these years later.
@@johnedington6083 hehe fun fact : when i play France i always spend a lot of money to be friend with the GB, that allows me to be free to move my trade ships upon the seas, to avoid a second war front, to concetrate my troops against Prussia and Austria and sometime to keep Quebec a bit longer. When all this is done, I invade America, free Scotland and Ireland and let them (+Spain) deal with England.
@@someoneuppingdudetechnical6320 I mean the fact Britain was probably the most liberal empire of Europe and pretty progressive for its time and we saw how they treated their colonies its pretty true. Plus think Britain gave their empire up the French fought to keep theirs imagine that bloodshed magnified with the British borders
@@Freedmoon44 French diplomatic system was : alliance with Southern Germany, peaceful competition with UK, support to Italy. It was effective to reduce Austrian and Russian influence in Europe. It could have been effective against Prussia, which was 2/3 of French population, army and GDP with a very narrow common frontier... Except that after Prussian-Austrian war, Bismarck secretly signed a military alliance with Southern German States, increasing his force by 50%, and creating a much larger war theatre. A few provocative move and the blunder of Napoleon III made sure that France declared war, compelling Southern German states to side Prussia.
What the hell I didn't know you could recruit that many generals from just 2 units Heck, that you can use a small mobile unit to lay siege and then increase your numbers by getting more generals for more numbers is such a big brain
Napoleon ordered his Mediterranean fleet to Antilla, to divide British fleet, then back to join the Brest fleet and force the Channel. But his admiral coming back from Antilla did not dare to sail so close to the British fleet, fought an inconclusive battle in Gulf of Gascoigne, then retreated all the way back to Cadiz.
Nice Idea and Guide,i played it myself a few minutes ago and won with just the army i had in Ireland and London without recruiting generals. Just try the auto resolve a few more times and give the ireland army one more line infantry from Scottland!
Aaaaaaaaah ! Ce plaisir délectable et indicible de voir s'effondrer l'orgueilleuse et perdide Albion d'un claquement de doigts... J'en ai eu des frissons. Merci merci merci !!!
Pretty cool! I used this but changed some things. I sold access and research to GB and The 13 for $. I used my 5th Rate to transport troops to Waterford then used my 5th to capture the 2 5th's, Then I used them to finish off the GB fleet keeping them for future adventures. Cheers
Napoleon alternative : Move your whole army to Boulogne Send your Mediterranean fleet to Antilla. Part of British fleet will follow As soon as you hear of the British fleet in Antilla, go back to Europe Attack the small blocus forces to free the blockaded ships of Spanish and French Atlantic small harbours. Napoleon plan : go to Channel and confront the main British fleet. Winning or losing is unimportant, even a Trafalgar in the Channel is fine : the British fleet will have to repair. The still unused Brest fleet can now travel securely the whole Channel and protect the crossing of the Boulogne flotilla. Once 200.000 veterans are on shore, London is lost : British professional army is too small and militias untrained. Once London is lost, the whole financial system crash, the Royal Navy cannot be paid and collapse, Ireland revolt start, pinning a third of the remains of British army, and King George has to negotiate. Reality : The French admiral had an inconclusive battle with 20 ships against 15 and went to Northern Spain for repair. Unaware of the thereabouts of the French fleet, the Royal Navy concentrated at the entrance of the Channel, but split again between an Atlantic and a Channel force. As expected by Napoleon, the French admiral had a two days opportunity to attack the Channel fleet on par - and the result did not count, since the Brest fleet would be freed. But the French admiral did not dare to attack and retreated to Cadix. Napoleon turned against Austria. The French admiral, hearing that he had permission to attack when 3 to 2 but will be dismissed nevertheless, went out of Cadix to fight Nelson with 33 ships against 27 and was utterly defeated.
@@LawAcieIV No, he staid in the thick of the battle all along. And he was a clever tactician, he devised a couter-measure to British "break the line " tactic before the battle - but his clumsy fleet could not stand their position. It was worse : he as unactive, not bettering his fleet by frequent exercise, contrary to his predecessor Villeneuve. Also seeing British Navy everywhere, making him indecisive because he did not perceive the strategic goal, to sacrifice his fleet at the entrance of the Channel, to disable most of the opposing British fleet, so that the intact Brest fleet could sail without opposition to the Pas de Calais and protect the invasion.
@@LawAcieIV Exactly, overwhelmed by the size of the task. Like Ulysses S Grant as a beginner, before he understood that the ennemy also has fears and doubts and shortcomings.
Title: "How to Destroy Great Britain in ONE TURN in Empire: Total War" Me reading the title: "Huh, thats gotta be interesting" Also me checking the channel picture: "Oh, now that makes sense!"
It is incredibly buggy, the combat system is crap and the UI is full of things you don't need or care about. Shogun 2 and Medieval 2 were the best, this one is truly terrible. And are we going to ajip the faxt that Britain has only 3 cities? Come on ma
@@amog10 I was disappointed with the displays and general feel of the game. All they needed to do was grow on shogun focusing on more units and eras and maybe more battle options for ambushes and setting up units in buildings. For me the beginning of the letdowns was Rome 2.
Another big brain strat is to have all of your navies consist of a single fast ship. Set naval battle timer to the minimum (15 minutes iirc) and fight every defensive naval battle. In the actual battle, just have your single ship stay as far away from the enemy until the timer runs out, and the enemy navy is destroyed.
Impossible, the soil of old Albion is specially grown to poison any invading Frenchman trying to force garlic on us, and the mere presence of a British Tar on the main causes every French ship to either sink, burn or strike her colours and surrender.
Considering Napoleon had most of Europe and it’s labor force I wonder why he never pulled an Alexander the Great and just ordered the building of a land bridge. Probably would’ve been cheaper than marching on Moscow
Im gonna go ahead and assume that someone who spend enough time playing Empire to figure out you can beat GB in one turn with France is well aware of the spacebar speed up.....
Ha ha I basically did similar to my friend as Spain. Sold all my territories, shipped a tiny force over, then spammed generals. Must have had 6 or 7 armies of nothing but generals. He then proceeded to rage quite. It was glorious
You can skip transferring troops to Brest and then adding them to other ship. Just combine the ship with troops with other navy, then move only new ships. Old ship will remain in place and army will move with new ships.
I used to do this for open field battles, but it never works with star-forts, etc on higher difficulties. Problem is the algorithm doesn't think cavalry units can storm a fort... so it seems to exclude them from battle. In fact, if your units are ALL cavalry, you can't EVEN attack a city that has the city-walls around it.
@@captainrex7168 no, they are cavalry. If they would dismount the unit would not be called cavalry. Its not like infantry can magically turn into cavalry either.
@@simonnachreiner8380 I was definitely disappointed with the game regions. There is no Belize. Hispaniola doesn't have French Haiti. I don't think Frankfurt and Cologne belong in one region (one is German, the other is French), Voronezh doesn't belong in Tataryia (Kazan)- it's a completely separate region. Montreal probably shouldn't be in the same region as Tkaranto (Toronto). The Caucasian units- in Georgia and Dagestan are completely inaccurate. Wales should be its own region. Sicily should also probably be its own region. Baltimore should be a port not a land city, if anything, Baltimore should be the region capital, while Annapolis should just be a port (They have it backwards). Those are just the deficiencies I caught, I can't imagine how many more inaccuracies there are that I didn't catch. Would be nice to have a mod that corrected all that, improved the AI, had more various battlefield landscape, and added more diplomacy features like request to declare war, or the ability to install a puppet government after you conquered a region. There are probably other things that could be updated/fixed too but that was the main stuff I could think of.
