@redpanda79675 жыл бұрын
Sam Horder I agree but the joy of empire is that it’s simple and total war politics are very basic usually. Research trees need to have faster research but more stuff because end game tech you only can really use at the last few turns

May as well go all the way, make it as deep as EU4. That'd be amazing. Vicky 2s population mechanic would be pretty cool as well, but just a simple population system such as in Rome 2 DEI would be sufficient.

Started my first campagne 2 weeks ago. I guess that this unpolished diamond makes for a game that seems super interesting and makes u feel free to go nuts with your campagne, also because you feel in the beginning like there is so much detail to take into account, IF it was only polished enough and was given more time to develop more in detail, so it’s potential could be used effectively for the enjoyment of the game. THIS ( I think) makes people want to know more about the game; because you wish it had more dept, care and attention to detail given given to it so
@Jan_III4 ай бұрын
Yup Same Here, but I have to say the list tip is really nice, because I often forget to move this one army. Though I have to say the way tax works in empire isn't exactly the way portrayed. More people doesn't equal to more tax. Tax is a percentage of the regions wealth. The regions wealth grows due to the towns and different technologies and the growth is hampered by a high tax rate on the upper class. So to sum it up: lower taxes on upper class = more wealth in the provinces = more tax in the long run Lower taxes on the lower class = more/faster towns = more regional wealth grow = more taxes (or other stuff like research if you choose so)

before you start playing campaign (if never played total war series) to do a few battle you create, also battles where you are in disadvantage so you can use those grey brain masses. when you start campaign I advise starting with a bigger nation so it takes longer for you to die if you aren't used to the game (that way you learn as you die) for example I started with Great Britain (used to total war) and I took over quite fast. have fun playing

Actually a larger population doesn't affect your wealth. It's what structures you build that give default wealth to your regions and there may be a steady growth over time. However, everything else you said about population is correct.

---READ--- making the population grow will not make your taxes income higher. What increasing population does is to make your villages grow up to towns, and your regional capital increase there amount of slots if it's not at it maximum amount already. To make the taxes icome higher, lower the taxes to the noble, which again will increase your townwealth turn by turn. The townwealth will be taxed with f.exampel 32 %, and that is your nations income.

More people = More towns + more building slots The taxes are taxing from the region wealth, which again is based on what your towns are producing, and what my political buildings are effecting this increasing production.

That will say that i get 1000 each turn from that region, + 500 from my political buildings each turn, pm back
