Extreme Legends Vs Empires

[Chris]

I already own Extreme Legends, is it worth it to buy Empires?

[Moga CMDR]

if you want to take over China with your own named character and say to hell with history maybe.

That's why I got Empire over the other one myself. I like being the person who unified China with my own story and getting married and having kids keep up my legacy.

Cept my kid came out looking nothing like me and was a huge disappointment.

I've unified China 3 times now and I'll do it again probably. Being a ruler and setting policy is kinda fun.

Other scenarios are also possible. I played as Jiang Wei and led weakened Shu to victory. And married Zhuge Liang's wife in the process (u mad, chancellor?). If you like mad hypothetical scenarios - it's a must-buy.

Depends on what you want from this game.

Since you have DW8CE you know its mostly story driven scenarios related to how china got unified.

Empire does not follow a traditional story as tightly as DW8CE since empire focuses more on you being able to create a character and using him/her to conquer china. Of course you can still use all the characters from DW8 if you dont want to create your own.

For example you can start out as LuBu and recruit cao cao, sun jian and guan you and go together to rule the land under your banner or you may decide to serve as xun ye helping cao cao realise his dream and then back stab him by trying to rebel and take over his lands.

Basically you get more freedom to more things outside of battle that can effect what happens in battle.

any other questions just ask

So @Mblades is would you say there is more to do in empires or extreme legends, having trouble to really find the difference and do not want to make the wrong call.

The only difference between the two is the option to create your own chatacter

DW8XLCE is more fleshed out and looks better.

Empires is basically a big add-on, but DW8XLCE is the actual experience.

Pretty much. when you get sick of the main story, but still want to play, then Empires would be a breath of freash air, as you can decide whatever you want to do. Including having a whole team of unimportant NPCs, while you slay all of the history changers!
