Andy's Take this is the 7th week in a row you've shown "We need Empire 2" to the class

i hope empire 2 whole world map

Empire was my first total war and still my favorite. I played every total war from then, I always dreamed of an empire 2 and I still hope one day to see it 🥲

Empire 2 is the next historical title I want and have been wanting, even over Med 3! Another great video, Andy. CA needs to hear it from the mountain tops haha

Full world map. More provinces. Better pathing. More Focus on the Navy ( Navy was king in this era ) That's it.

clown&assembly must make that game immediately! And also should add historical city looks and also port assaults!

Everyone used to say "We will never see another Victoria game", few years later we got it.

I would be happy if they even remake/remaster actual Empire and make a proper mod support for it. Modders will literally improve it.

Empire 2 should cover 1600-1836ish if not to 1900.

I bought Empire randomly, on a physical disc. There was some trouble with getting it to work with Steam, so I tried to return it. Gamestop wouldn't take it as it had been opened or something, so I decided to give it another go and send a request to Steam to help me, with a picture of the receipt and everything. Heard nothing for days, then suddenly, the game had appeared in my library without the use of my disc. Somebody at Steam had just given me access. I've been a fan of Total War since, and I continue to return to Empire due to its scale and setting. I so wish for a sequel with significant improvements, but still having the old feeling where units had weight, something that disappeared with Rome 2.

Empire is one of my favourite TW games. If they can make its battles and whatnot as good as Napoleon, empire 2 would be perfect. And maybe add in different campaigns for different times, maybe a 1783 start so that you can play as the US or some other nations. And maybe with empire 2 you could go to parts of Japan and China for either trade or genuine theaters of war. I really hope they do it justice and combine napoleons battles with empires scale it would be so good.

The best start is 1600, because there is the biggest technological difference from the sword to the musket, and most of the world is nobody's - ready to be discovered. Besides, in 1600 all European countries had a chance to be great. Including Portugal, Spain, Venice, Turkey, Poland, Sweden and Russia. In Empire 1 from 1700, only Britain and the Marathas have such a chance, and a little bit France and Prussia.

I have wanted Empire 2 for so long but I’m getting older now and my love for gaming is waning rapidly. I fear by the time it comes out, I probably won’t even want to play it 😢

CA need a new engine, the limitations of the current one are starting to show, we need better ai, bigger battles, more dense maps and so on, all aspects of the game would benefit from a modern engine, maybe they could do a whole world/globe scale

Great video. I can’t help but agree on the lack of province settlements in empire.

I have lost all hope. RIP total war. 2000-2013. It was good while it lasted. I dont think we will ever see another main line historical Total war ever again.

Even if CA will try to make sequel,well,they wll f..k up.Guys just understand,modern CA isnt that CA that made Empire,Shogun, Rome amd Attila.If it was still old CA they'll never let the company in that deep crisis.

That’s all I have ever wanted

I was so excited for the release of Empire I rode my bike from high school during lunch to the mall just to pick up a copy of the game and have it when I got home from school.

I hope we get this eventually, it's a crime that we ever lost epic Naval combat like this. Or even a Pike and Shot/Renaissance game which might be a good compromise for the camps that want Medieval 3/Empire 2, while also allowing CA to try something new.

Damn we are actually seeing a real mobile Empire Total War, and not those bad scammy ads we used to see all over in the late 2010’s. We’re getting that before an Empire 2 is the funny part.

You didn’t mentioned that you wanted a playable Norway but I saw that modded Norway gameplay😂

Stopped watching what I was watching because I saw this title in the watch next list and thought "No way, we don't have Empire 2 finally do we?" and Nope, we don't.. but I love that you're talking about it and I'll keep coming back hoping the next video is announcing it LOL!

If the rumours are true about the Star Wars TW and WW1 TW the engine should be in a great shape to do Empire 2.

I really think what we need is a Warhammer trilogy but for historical. They already regularly release multiple games based off the same engine, so CA should build a foundation for empire 2 by first making a medieval 3. Larger time period DLC could include map expansions, especially featuring the landmass that is being expanded into. Then a Total War: Renaissance game (1450-1650) could bridge the gap further expanding the world, finally ending with Empire 2 being a truly global game.

Largely agree with everything you said. Wouldn't make it a worldwide game, though I would take South America down a bit to include at least a part of Brazil, in order to give Portugal a presence in that theatre. Even if you do it in the coast of Brazil trade node as 'Imperial Destroyer' mod showed how it can be done. I also would split France and Spain into more regions, and release Crete and Cyprus from the regions they currently they belong to. I would also hope they fix the mess of what is called 'Cologne' in the Absolutum Dominium mod I currently play, and other things in other mods. Take Cleves out of it for another Prussian Region; Make Hessen-Kessel, and maybe Munster for a third. More Indian factions would hopefully mean that the Marathas have a harder time taking over all India, Asia Minor and Russia, as the often end up doing. Religious buildings are the least useful to build. I would give them the ability to reduce the odds of Ministers and rulers gaining negative traits, as well as conversions and increasing happiness. Let us choose from the whole range of possible buildings when pop increase gives us a new city. Maybe even incorporating some of the buildings from Napoleon. For tech, I would like to see more faction specific tech, and a new medicine tech tree to go next to the philosophy one. More trade zones (Fur in the Canadian Far north, Tea in China), and more commodities and their values in the commodities screen. (At least wine) Another thing I'd like is if Generals could rally and inspire like they do in Napoleon.

An empire 2 would be awesome, but Id prefer a napoleon 2

CA could do some substantial customer research. Instead they'll try to make another game geared for Esports

Empire was my most played TW game until WH 2. I really want an Empire 2 that goes from the 1700s to the mid-late 1800s. I want to experience the Wars of Austrian and Spanish Succession, the Napoleonic Wars, the Austro-Prussian War, the Franco-Prussian war. And a larger time period could make tech more impactful. The main problem I see with that idea is pacing though.

Whenever I play the previous parts before Rome 2, I also dream of improved versions of these games. But I'm afraid, judging by the direction CA is going, we won't be able to wait for such games anymore.

We can only dream 😢Great video & footage!

Empire 2 will be the game that brings me back to total war ...after quilting the series after being a part of it from its birth unit Atilla ......

I need it! I'm quite literally abstaining from starting Total War until Medieval 2 or Empire 2 comes out

Full World Map More Provinces Longer time period (1700-1837) Include other american independence wars (Chile, Argentina, Colombia, etc.).

I hope you continue releasing videos regarding empire 2. Maybe that will open CA eyes because they seem to be blind regarding what fans really want. Don’t stop, please

I need an Empire 2 in my life before I get too old! Please, total war gods, hear my prayer.

I am good with a remaster that takes care of the bugs, gives us some better graphics and improves map and diplomacy KI.

Empire total war was the most fun title I’ve ever had. The most hours played next to Attila Total War.

if we had a game with the same scale as Napoleon, applied to the entire world, that’s Game of the Year material

I wish they should do a thirty years war/ Jacobite rebellion title it’s such an interesting time period that doesn’t get much love

@Total War Make an Empire 2 already. It will be your highest selling game! Just Imagine Millions of Chinese 🇨🇳 fans buying the game to play as the Qing dynasty emperor in 1700s, Millions of Europeans🇪🇺 buying the game to roleplay their country's previous glory, Millions of Japanese 🇯🇵 Fans buying the game to play as the tokugawa shogunate conquering the globe with katanas, Millions of Americans 🇺🇸 buying the game to play USA, millions of Middle Eastern and African fans 🇹🇷 buying the game to restore Ottomans previous glory, millions of pirate fans buying the game just to raid trade routes from the Carribean to Asia🏴‍☠️😂. If you make it diverse as much as possible with many countries to play with. This game will sell 100M+ copies world wide 😉.

I honestly loved the navel warfare, once I got used to it

Empire is my favorite in the series, Empire 2 would be an instant buy

As large as the map is it doesn't feel that way at all. Especially when you look at factors like faction KO ability. France is literally 2 regions, Netherlands 1, Portugal 1. When taking the home front a faction dies. All it's colonies become independent states. And I get it they had to make cuts at the time. But it really shows it's age now.

One pet peeve of mine in Empire, is that I can’t toggle between volley fire, fire by rank, platoon fire, and fire at will. Each of those modes has their own advantages and I wish I could utilize them.

Honestly - I would be extremely happy with a new Empire: total war expanding to China / South east Asia / Japan, Joseon (Korea) etc. for the true global dominance aspect while using fall of the samurai's battle engine which I think was as close to perfect as they could get.. I really don't care about graphics to be honest. I just want a game that makes sense and has pathfinding that a new age total war could absolutely achieve. CA could even make TONs of DLC with different expanded periods of history spanning different timelines/ wars after 1600 to even the US Civil War. The world is for the taking! Creative Assembly - Your move.

i would love an empire 2 i hate the magic bs that total wars been wrapped up in the last few years it just no longer felt like total war.

Where is the money gonna come from to complete this long list of wishes? Remember, CA just pulled the plug on a bronze age trilogy halfway through, rushed the completion, and gave it away for free

I want Conquistadors, Aztecs, African Tribal warriors. Napoleonic line battles, Steamships, Samurai. A full early modern era. 1492 to 1914 timeline. I will neglect my child and divert significant potions of my income for that game. Isnt that what you want CA?

More likely we ll have Alice in Wonderland Total war...

We all can dream. But for the moment (do not want to sound pessimistic), the current CA isn't the CA from older times. Will be a buggy mess as always and rather to fix it on the long term, they probably abandon ship as always. Games like this you need to think on the long term. But CA from today is a very short term minded gaming company. I really do wish this. But the reality hasn't been the best. I mean the Sophia devs are maybe the best devs out there. But yeah...CA is still CA.

Not gonna lie I really want an Empire 2 before I want Medieval 3. We’re overdue for some good gunpowder games.

Tw3k army fits empire 2 so much...

You will make another 50 of these videos before we get it😂

Am i the only one that want a napoleon total war 2?

Empire 2 time period 1850-1918 would be peak

If they make Empire Total War 2 it will need to be such a game that evolves with time also, let say you start already around 1786 ish, a few years before the french revolution, and then ends about in 1929 right when great depression start (that will be the end game message). I want to be able to play as a startup of the mega empire before the become huge with a size of Victoria 3 Map (yea it needs to be the whole world) and then you see all the wars going left and right as to get more and more land, and the ''end game'' main thing will be world war 1 where you can rewrite history as you see fit. Can you imagine starting to play a line infantry men in the beginning and then having to adapt to trench warfare? I would pay a lot of money to be able to see Artillery Strike fire from accross the map as it hit no man lands, planes etc, I know it's possible now because they added tanks in Warhammer, flying units with drakes and stuff so they can easily add planes. I think that will be the epidome of Total war games. I mean and with how they can add DLC to the game where they add playable countries with their own unique flavour. In my opinion I don't care about multiplayer for a total war game (i know there is a a big community for that) but for me Total War always has been a single player Sandbox go at your own pace type of thing.

When Rome1 came so I was thinking of the fututre of the Totalwar... but nothing happend at 25 years :(

This time era just provides in such a great worldwide campaign map. The scramble for africa, the seizing of European Asian trade posts, the tragedy of indigenous south american downfall and much more. PLEASE make this game happen, since it has so much to offer and even when it provides us with the first game in such a basic way, it can only get better…

There should also be many options to manage provinces- should the occupied territory treated with violence or peacefully or even extremely brutal(each one gives other bonuses) Imperator Rome should serve as an example there and also the La resistance dlc from Hoi IV. You should also make laws(Also Imperator Rome as an example) and different ways of managing your army and navy(Should it be in a very good shape or kept cheap). Also the different Nations should get different bonuses and also maybe maluses. For example: Spain should get +10% on trade routes and maybe their standard line infantry -10 points of accuracy.

Empire Total war was one of my favorite and most frustrating total war games of all time haha. I always thought they’d make another one and just fix the bugs and AI logic. Also give us some freedom in Custom battles to use all the regional troops!!

I hope you have fully recovered. Pneumonia sucks.

Sorry to point out the writing on the wall, but the fact they made Empire mobile just proves they have no intention to create Empire 2 any time soon. Why on earth would they bother porting Empire to mobile if they knew they'd be developing Empire 2 in the foreseeable future?

Fall of the Samurai will scratch that gunpowder itch fine until Empire 2 🫡

Check out the Empire Total War mod called Imperial Splendour. It's fantastic.

If they can't do all of Asia then a total Africa map would be great.

Just take examples of the mods and make it a standalone. Expand the map to more of the globe available for conquest. Include African, pacific & South American nations It could be incredible Total war empire 2 or A Westeros total war would be amazing

im glad i saw ur video i just got like £10 off asseto corsa on that website

Hope you're doing better!👏🏻

I hope they would keep the reinforcement system found in Empire, Napoleon and SG2. I never knew why they got rid of that system

To be honest, I prefer Medieval. Empire 1 game engine is still the current game engine we are playing today. Prople do want both Empires made with the same engine? I don't a like Remastered version, I prefer brand new game.

Needed so much more than Medieval 3 imo

i think GTA VI will come out faster than Empire 2 : Total War i love historical games and total war makes some of the best and i truly wish they make Empire 2 : Total War literally every Total War fan wants it

They should add coastal forts for the navy to attack.

I hope this game focuses on the societal ramifications of colonialism. I also hope if we get an empire 2 total war it will address the issue of gun violence and its effect on society.

Always my favorite total war game first on I ever played

Don't get me wrong, Empire is my favourite in the series, but it is by far the worst and most broken title in the series. "I had 6 copies of Empire: Total War sat on my shelf intended for close gamer friends that I didn't send out because I was too embarrassed about the flaws. Old friends are the harshest critics" Direct quote from Mike Simpson, the Creative Director for Empire total war. Even CA was embarrassed by Empire, I imagine the mobile port will still be as much of a buggy mess, but I do hope this is a sign to try drum up some fresh interest in black powder and not a cashgrab. we know they can do it right, the majority of players that's played Fall of the Samurai would agree. Imma choose to be cautiously optimistic thinking that CA knows it deserves a second chance. If any other reason than I wanna see modern day boom mechanics when a full broadside strikes the magazine of an opposing ship with modern graphics. 🎉

I am not fan of total war fantasy genre but but if they can make a house of the dragon total war that would be nice

Empire 2 has so much potential. I hope for full map all 7 continents. 1700-1800 But I would really wish for one up to the start of the great war. I dont think they will do that but It could be a cool DLC. If you think they dont have the assets for WW1 total war or it doesnt fit the formula, You clearly have not played warhammer total war (or any post 1800 total war). Given the scale of warhammer 3, they could combine 'medieval 3' and 'empire 2' and just make a game from like 1200 AD to 1800 AD. That would be quite grand.

We won t see Empire total war 2 in 20 years stop coping

CA: best I can give is Victorian era

Empire needs a campaign much closer to Victoria

Playing the Empire 2 mod right now...fun...fun...fun....

Are instant gaming codes safe to use? I mean is there a danger that steam punishes me?

You should understand that most of americans for example don't know history and geography and are not drawn to historical titles: they just lack education and thus much of background information. Some of them even think that for example Europe is one country.

Im the only schmuck that enjoyed the heck out of napolean total war.

I love Empire, but it’s so hard to play those old games with the terrible controls

As fort and city maps I would like to see Rome an Attila Total War maps What mod was the footage from?

I doubt CA will do sequels at all anymore. Because of the tech debt the sequels would likely be worse in many ways. For example Empire 2 would likely have no naval battles and not be able to do the multiple maps (maybe a world map is possible but they've never done it) and would have like 5 factions on release. Until they solve the tech debt a sequel would just shine a light on how much worse their games have gotten.

I would pay 200$ for new Empire Total War game

Ready to pay 1000 usd for empire 2 😂😂

What peole have failed to notice is that the same company and people that worked on the historical total wars before the release of Warhammer total war is long gone, they cant make historical total war games anymore

Would love a new Empire, but slavery is a bit of a hot topic now. So I doubt it. Also Opium = drugs would probably not be the best thing. I dont mind though.

I hate this time period, so I'm hoping they'll do some other setting

not happening. also if they do, i guarantee you'll hate it

I still play empire Total war. I have like 1500 hours playing lol

I love empire total war I just wished empire total war used the same battle engine as Rome Total War also I wished I had a super pc and could have thousands of soldiers XD

I would absolutely LOVE an Empire II. I still play Empire with mods till this day. There aren't many games in that kind of historical setting, unfortunately. I haven't really been able to get hooked on Paradox's games so far because I don't feel as immersed.

I would love but we won't have empire II.....only the mod
