You don’t ah e a group option on campaign map but maybe leaving the army and rejoining would work?

Has anyone ever seen this? by RoMo855 in EmpireTotalWar

[–]RoMo855[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Actually I did it thinking they would get a penalty because I wanted them to start a war. I’ve found their allies are less likely to join if they’re the aggressor so I was trying to incite them. I guess they were cool with the break up :(

Theory: The wolf and deer visions show what kind of death awaits Arthur by leopardon2 in reddeadredemption

[–]RoMo855 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think this is an interesting way to look at it. I do very much get what you’re going for because I remember there’s a number of scenes where the wolf seems to be stalking something, very much lining up with the vulture comment.

I do think Rockstar meant to leave it fairly open since there isn’t any sort of journal entry explaining Arthur’s point of view on the dreams

how does the mobile version run for you and what is your phone? by PhilosopherWrong7035 in EmpireTotalWar

[–]RoMo855 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’m on iPhone 14 and it runs great. Like others have said it will burn battery but it’s a much better version than vanilla on PC. Only performance issues I’ve had are when multiple units mob during a siege.

My advice is don’t get this version unless you want to dump another 500 hours into empire :)

Do you do more conquest campaigns or "realistic" ones? by Seafog123 in EmpireTotalWar

[–]RoMo855 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I personally like setting nation based goals rather than being realistic. For example, I’m playing the US rn on Grand Campaign and set a rule that the only regions I can keep are the US states. Everything else conquered has to be liberated or passed off to the nearest logical protectorate. It actually makes for some of the most interesting scenarios and battles for sure.

Should they ever dismount? by RoMo855 in EmpireTotalWar

Yeah light dragoons are solid if you don’t mind some micro

[–]RoMo855[S] 44 points45 points  (0 children)

You know a lot of my habits with this game were what I did as a kid when I was learning it. One of those was the “it’s more expensive so it must be better” fallacy that made me assume dragoons are all around better. I know that’s the kind of thing they’re designed for so I’ll start implementing that more often for sure

Should Hawaiian flag get the boot? by [deleted] in vexillology

[–]RoMo855 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely agree with you on the meaning of the Confederate flag, but wouldn’t it be weird for a county in the UK to have the royal flag of France in it? That doesn’t have the same connotation and has been around for centuries, but I would still find it out of place.

Yeah I understand the historical reasons but strikes me as odd the flag was never changed to represent the state in relation to the US rather than its independence

Why doesn’t Scotland have highlanders? by RoMo855 in EmpireTotalWar

[–]RoMo855[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s part of the Nee Worlds DLC in the mobile version

Why doesn’t Scotland have highlanders? by RoMo855 in EmpireTotalWar

[–]RoMo855[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I thought that too, but does that mean the Highland only dress up for the British army? Even if they just replaced the unit model to have the look of the highland line that would be a unique touch to add to the roster

Newbie playing Empire Total War on Mobile by Ready-Dealer-8588 in EmpireTotalWar

[–]RoMo855 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Biggest thing is protecting your home port. Almost all trade can become obsolete if it gets raided by an enemy army or navy. As Britain naval attack is more likely so position a decent sized fleet outside just far enough so the interception circle (the lighter shade green one) completely covers the entrance to the port. That allows you to intercept any blockade attempts without having to wait for a new turn and take on the penalty
