And to the east, the route to India offers the chance of riches. Control of the Mediterranean would allow a Sultan to do as he pleases with the smaller European powers. There may even be valuable allies to be found among Austria’s rivals: the authority of the Pope to stop his European flock making treaties with infidels is all but gone. Strategically, the Empire is in a potentially strong position: the Balkans are a natural bastion to defend Istanbul, and a possible springboard for conquest into central Europe. The army and navy look old fashioned compared to those of some states, but the soldiers of the Sultan are numerous indeed. The Ottomans face challenges but within these are great opportunities. Turkish expansionism has always been a part of palace politics: when a Sultan has felt secure at home he has attacked Europe when a Sultan has felt threatened by his Janissary military commanders, he has sent them to attack. In living memory, Turkish armies have reached the gates of Vienna, Austria, only to be turned back by the steadfast defenders. This Turkish, Islamic empire supplanted the Orthodox Byzantine Empire in the 15th Century and since then it has had a continuing, if not always whole-hearted, ambition to expand further westwards into the heart of Europe. The Ottomans also have power over the whole of the Mediterranean coast of North Africa. Ottoman power is unmatched in its extent and grandeur, straddling the traditional trade route between Europe and Asia. Probably depends on a combination of your system specs, the quality of your internet connection, and some happy thoughts to hold it all together.The history of Europe over the last centuries can be seen as the history of the Ottoman Empire and a few annoying, small nations that thwarted Ottoman ambitions. Some folks report tons of desyncs in all of the games, and some folks have it run flawlessly. The first Total War with decent co-op implementation is Shogun II, and the games following that follow in Shogun II's footsteps and have actual co-op campaigns, though your mileage may vary. Any battle without a player either controlling their own faction's army or taking control of the other player's opponent is forced to autoresolve, etc.
It's the exact same thing as Empire, just with less bugs. De-syncs and crashes are quite common.ĭon't bother with Napoleon's multiplayer campaign if you're hoping it's better than this. Additionally, there are a large number of bugs. You can't just spectate while the other player fights the AI, or share units like you can from Shogun II onward. When initiating battle, if the other player doesn't take control of the enemy army, or have an army from their own faction present as your ally, the battle is auto-resolved. The implementation of the multiplayer campaign was laughable at best. There's no longer a way to obtain a beta key, but if it's any consolation, you aren't missing anything.(I got a key and tried the campaign out with a friend shortly before CA stopped sending out new keys.)
