Empire: Total War

En un principio me parece un tanto decepcionante, sin embargo he de verlo en alta resolución para ver qué pasa en el video.


Respuesta de Richard Bull tras la inmensidad de críticas recibidas en los foros:

Hi chaps!

Thanks for all of the comments! I just wanted to make the point that - what I was really hoping would come out of the video - is the concept of the AI using a "special tactic", where it responds to the make-up and advance of my army, and uses it's units coherently and together in a way in which only an expert player would be able to (i.e. surrounding it's cavalry with line infantry in a manually-constructed square, leaving it's General's bodyguard and support cavalry inside the square for protection of both it and the line, positioning it's artillery and light infantry tactically outside for covering fire), and then going on to try to maintain this formation over time by repairing "holes" in the wall. I deliberately picked a massively over-powered heavy cavalry army to freak-out the AI into using this behaviour, and eventually overcame it, although the battle actually went on a heck of a lot longer than the video and I took a bit of a beating in the process, including getting my General wasted!

Anyway, the video was filmed quite a while ago, and we've obviously made a tonne of logic and animation fixes, and unit balancing since then. I think bayonets against Cavalry were maybe a little underpowered when that battle was played out, for example.

Putting together an AI opponent which both allows new players to the series to enjoy themselves, and satisifies the hard-core veterans, is always a tough prospect, and you guys rightfully have huge expectations, so I hope you enjoy the game in a few weeks time. We certainly are here!

And if you don't, at least you know what I look like now so you can hunt me down and kill me (- joke image).

All the best image,

No sé vosotros, pero este tío no me da ninguna confianza.
