Synopsis

In Empire: Total War, you'll travel back to the 18th century, an era of relentless territorial expansion and near-perpetual war. The Age of Imperialism reigns, and around the world the seas are filled with ships belonging to the superpowers of the day. This ambition, however, inevitably leads to conflict. Take to the high seas for extraordinary 3D naval combat as you prove you have the daring and determination it takes to conquer the globe.

In this next installment in the Total War franchise, you'll take command of single ships or vast fleets for exhilarating real-time naval warfare. Pound your enemies with the power of your mighty cannons, then board enemy ships and engage in exciting hand-to-hand combat. Battle both enemies and the elements as the new DX10 graphics engine renders seascapes and dynamic weather to stunning effect. Experience war on a global scale with any of more than 30 in-game factions encompassing an array of major world powers, including the United States, then take the fight online to battle with far-off friends in a variety of new multiplayer modes.
