It’s taken a few years for Empire: Total War to reach the Mac, but it’s a huge game that will keep strategy fans absorbed through the long winter months.
Set in the 18th century, at a time when the European super-powers were expanding around the world, Empire: Total War provides a huge canvas for your military exploits, with battles on both land and sea raging across Europe, the Americas and India.
There are three main strands to Empire: Total War. The heart of the game is the Grand Campaign, which allows you to take control of one of 11 European nations (the manual says 12, but we could only count 11). There are also four different campaign options here, ranging from the ‘short campaign’ that just requires you to control 25 regions on the world map, to ‘world domination’ that requires 50 regions. And, as well as military might, you also need to develop your culture and economy in order to earn prestige points that enhance your international reputation.
