Empire in Arms anyone? - Bear - 01-12-2009 Wondering if there are enough members to play and Ladder this game? Take command of one of the many factions in early 19th century Europe! Empires in Arms is a grand strategy turn-based race to prove which nation is the greatest in Europe. In a bid for mastery over the continent, players can succeed where Napoleon failed or try to stop the military genius quicker than his historical enemies could! The game moves in monthly turns where diplomacy and builds are conducted. Within the monthly turns there are a variable number of impulses where corps and fleets move about. All movement is simultaneous with battles occurring at the end of the impulse. Battles are resolved by players both picking a strategy and fighting a series of rounds in an attempt to break the enemy. Make and break alliances, declare war, invade minor nations, propose peace terms, build armies of landwehr, regulars, guards, light cavalry, heavy cavalry and artillery. Many historical leaders from the period are included to command corps and fleets, from Admiral Nelson to Marshal Davout to the Pashas of the Ottoman Empires. Diplomacy and economics will complement the sharp bayonets and deadly cannons of your direct military might when you take the role of any of the major powers in 19th century Europe! As you conquer your weaker foes, use the money and resources from fallen nations to recruit new units and replenish your ranks. France, Great Britain, Prussia, Turkey, Russia, Spain and Austria all stand ready with their full resources, generals, armies and fleets for you to take command. http://www.matrixgames.com/products/285/details/Empires.in.Arms Bear RE: Empire in Arms anyone? - Kingmaker - 01-12-2009 HiHi Bear have you by any chance played 'Crown of Glory' and could make a comparison between EiA & CoG? I have toyed with the idea of giving EiA a go but the price (UK £46) & that it plays at Corps rather than Brigade level for the battles rather puts me of and I will probably hold on for CoG Emperor Edition, but, if you have played both whats the differance between them re Economic/Political/Diplomatic play? Any "Thoughts" would be appreciated. All the Best Peter RE: Empire in Arms anyone? - NicolasBourbaki - 05-09-2021 I have EIA since release date but never managed to play. But I really want to love this game ! I recently reinstalled it and found a nice tutorial ("Murat's Tutorial" https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=4932561) on the matrix forum and I'm trying again. And I was very positively surprised to see that the game received a new update dated 11/26/2020 ! Quite incredible ... I guess the game is mostly enjoyable in PBEM but I will try to play it solo for the time being. Will need time to understand all mechanics. Seems rather complex. I was also interested to know how you guys compare it to Ageod's Wars of Napoleon in PBEM.
