Great Britain UNITS EXPLAINED EMPIRE TOTAL WAR ETW GUIDE

I wish they made Total War games as good as this still. I feel they have become pretty arcadey recently, especially since the success of the Warhammer series. Three Kingdoms and Troy just didn't do it for me unfortunately. Edit: It's nice to see somebody uploading regular Empire Total War videos, subbed!

One of the things I do in the British campaign, due to her strength in shooting and weakness in melee, is retain the start-of-game pikemen and transfer them to theatres where melee enemies are expected, such as Indians, Barbery, and native Americans. Positioning them behind musket infantry for the infantry to fall back behind, the pikemen can take charges that British musket infantry are ill-prepared to fight in the early game. In the mid-game, they retain limited utility in sieges for blocking enemy-controlled gates in tight formation, but are gradually disbanded as melee-competent musket units slowly become available. For most major powers whose line infantry are ok in melee, the pikemen can be disbanded the second the campaign begins.

33rd Foot was Wellington’s Regiment in India

The green jackets always irked me when I played as GB, they were available to be recruited way before they would have existed historically....Their uniforms look drastically different since they are a late 18th early 19th century design. It also bothers me they didn't make the weapons look more unique. Since the baker rifles used a sword Bayonet. I typically chose not to recruit them in a campaign lol I feel like Empire total war might have been intended to be played in a bit of a broader time frame. Starting in the late 1670s, and ending in the Nepoleonic era. But of course Nepoleon Total War took care of the latter.

The 33rd foot is for protecting the flanks against flanking cavalry and for taking forts in campaign

Loved this

Very enjoyable

Enjoyed the video very much :)

I mean there are some mechanics in the new games and UI improvents that i like but overral mostely i agree the new games lack a lot of stuff the old games provided back in the days i didnt really like empire but lately i figured out how to actually play and how all the machanics work and now it became one of my favorite total wars beside attila and original rome

Good video

Ask any Sharpe fan, "What makes a good soldier?"

God save the King!

I saw aperr on my screen saw you online wean I was fighting battle with uk

So how useful is platoon fire over fire by rank? I’d assume with higher reload, guards would be absolutely deadly with fire by rank.

Would be cool to see maratha and poland

Rule Britannia!!

Can you do one on America?

Using Darthmod my games are locking up at 20-30 turns, it is so annoying. I was not paying attention The British infantry correctly to the melee score instead I was going off of some history that says that the British would shoot 3 times and charge. So I was not playing the British infantry correctly. So defend and not charge with them. In Empire now I only now get line infantry. No Militia etc.

Great Britain has some of the coolest and most useless units out there. Like the Brunswick Dragoons...better stats but don’t have fire by rank like regular goons. Regular goons are still useless tho lol. Something interesting I noticed was that Russian ships cost more even though they don’t have better stats.

Can you do one on russia please?
