It's also a really cool way of playing through a very interesting story.
So it's a nice introduction for people who haven't yet played Total War games. The point is, that decision is made for me by the timeline in which I'm playing.
So you're not going to go, I need to achieve this objective, maybe I'll attack this, defend that, make this treaty or whatever. So you've got a number of resources, there are certain options available to you, and you always know what your next move is and why. Now what that means in real terms for players: it's a focused, goal-driven campaign. And then finally you move into the last phase of the campaign, which of course is Washington and the revolutionaries kicking the Brits out of North America and establishing the thirteen colonies as an independent nation. So you've got George Washington fighting on behalf of the British as a Virginia colonist, not as a Brit but as a Virginia colonist, and you've got to get the French and everything else alongside the Brits out of North America. You then go into a second phase, which is the battle to remove other European powers from the sphere. We haven't made it accessible by "dumbing it down." We've made it accessible by removing a lot of the micromanagement. It's separated into three chapters, so if you imagine it like, the first timeline, kind of comprises of the foundation of Jamestown by the British, the defense of those new colonies, surviving the winters, and defending your people essentially. It's another campaign for you to play in the box. Kieran Brigden: Road to Independence is a story-driven campaign that sits alongside the grand campaign. Shack: Can you explain what the Road to Independence campaign entails? The interview also covers how Creative Assembly approaches these projects-and where the studio might go in the future. We went over the new mode, and of course talked about the game in general. When Empire: Total War ships in early February, it will include a new type of mode for the series-the Road to Independence, a story-driven campaign centered entirely around the American Revolutionary War.Īt a recent event, I got the chance to speak with developer Creative Assembly's communications manager Kieran Brigden.
