Empire: Total War
We fought along bloodied ground in Japan, where Samurai held the lands of Japan, the Ninja and Geisha held the shadows, and the Shogun held the mind.
We made Rome great, Conquering the great Barbarian tribes of Europe. We made Greece great when we reunited them once more. Then when all was said and done, we the Goths pillaged Rome!
We held our Castles strong as we defended the now old kingdoms of Europe in the name of God and the King.
Now we fight once more, we fight as none have fought before. The world is Old and New, and the sword and shield no longer keep us safe. We fight for an Empire, we fight for riches, but most of all... we fight for FREEDOM!
* Gunpowder and blood now stain the waters and lands as we fight with new tactics, and new units in a way never seen before.
* Water becomes a new land as we fight with Fleets, and Armadas in real time naval warfare.
* In this time of idealism the world gives birth to a new nation, ruled by no King, but a people. The revolutionary war is here.

Oh and yes this post is entirely written by me, not copied off some website's description of the game, and as much as I would like I am not getting paid for this.

How can you say that when you haven't even played it? Is it simply because you don't like gunpowder warfare?

Yes, I do hate gunpowder battles.
Epic battles with cannon elephants vs peasants is PWNAGE.
Gunpowder battles are boring.

Gunpowder battles, BOOM BOOM BANG! I'm going to get it. What are the requirements for the game to work. Would XP be good enough to run it?
