I bought this gem on sale; and oh wow, it was the masterpiece I had waited for all my life. The first battle I hopped into was epic. Every lover of the 18th century would appreciately nod at the thin lines of well uniformed men firing glorious volleys into the other, and the heat of cavalry charging through a dense forest.

Unfortunatley. The optimization is terrirble. For those of you wanting to play looks over quality, you will try to boost the graphics to high, or ultra. But be warned.... Total War Empire is a realistic game...So realistic, it does not understand modern technology.
