Your factory workers will be pleased and can be trained to become skilled workes but they will need cigars and stuff like that.Įvery resource has to be connected with your capital by road or railroad. The new world also offers raw materials like furs, sugar cane and tobacco as well as all sorts of metal ore, which you can ship to your home country and where you can produce goods with. I think Imperialism II gives (in its limits) a good impression how economics, state treasury and war were connected in the age of imperialism. So it is very important to control as many as possible sources of gems, gold and silver in the new world. The bigger the army, the more money you have to spend for war. In the new world you will find raw materials and resources and what is most important, riches like gems, gold and silver.Įvery time when you send your army into combat it will cost a certain amount of money. The other european powrs did not capture any province yet: In 1518 i had already captured 3 provinces in the new world. The fighting system is the only thing i dislike in this game I will disable you, damn fighting system! The "map" is always the same too and every fight is like every other fight before. I also don't know if the damage is always the same and how many attacks it would need to kill a certain enemy unit. I don't have a clue about the range of the native arrows and movement points. To me it appears that there are no tactics and it is just a stupid slaughter. Well after some more fights in the following years i must say that i really don't link the fighting system (Like i have stated before) and i will set the fights to be done "automatic" from now on. So in 1509 i landed my 3 units and, after kissing the earth, we took up the arms and fought for our right to plunder these lands and ship the riches to Europe.
The first nation which controls more than the half of the old world provinces, will win the whole thing My Engineer, Explorer and Builder have all starting doing their job -> building a road, looking for metal ore and buidling a farm.Īle wrote:should try some manual battles Anno Domini 1508Īfter i sent my ship on a journey around the world, and the world is really "round" in this game, i discoverd a new world! Immediately i sent my ship to the shallow coastal waters of the Crazy Horse province in order to land my troops the very next turn. The whole map is divided into seperate provinces. See the capital of my young empire, Amsterdam, and the surrounding land. In the first turn you also have to start the production of goods, set up research and, very important, send your lonely war ship out on a journey across the ocean. Even if you are not going to fight for a long time becauseof a lack of powerful units.
Later they might have signed a protection agreement with an other power, so it is better to declare war early. In the first turn i will immediately declare war on them. There are 4 minor adjacent countries in the south. My nation this time will be the Netherlands, starting in a very good position and quitebig of size with 11 provinces. There is no national bonus like in Colonization, so it is not very important which nation you are going to play. It took me only 10 minutes to find a good map
I recommend to try the "Rhaganeth" map key which offers a lot of diamonds in the new world province of Jauja This time i choose to play on a random map. There is also the possibility to enter a map key, in case you want to play on a certain map.
You can choose a random map or play on a map of Europe. Before the games starts you have to choose a map.
