The battle for Lisbon... well, you can always recruit more cavalry, but it's a wonder anyone is willing to volunteer. 😁 Seriously though, well done managing that battle.
Letter from Jason Holmes I have had a case of deja vu. As if I had heard all of the news before. No matter. This will not distract me from the coming battle. I promise you that I shall see another day and, if we are lucky, I shall bring news of John. Mother, father, I love you both. Your son, Jason
GG. That trick of forming square with the grenadiers begs some questions. Can that massive bodyguard form square? Can cannon? Can cavalry? For science!
Just so you know - i owned the game of empire total war and napoleon total war for years now, and i actually never played them (got them in some bundle i bought). I started playing napoleon after watching this series because i never actually understood the idea of total war fighting in guns and cannons setting... i was pretty used to having swords and bows and that was too big a leap for me, battle tactics and formations was really odd. Thank you for this series, many hours of enjoyment :)
Hello Mr. LH, Sir! Bravo what a nail bitter with the Spanish! Excellent use of ground spreading out the Enemy Cavalry from the Infantry and your Artillery did so much. Hats off to those Spanish Infantry! They stayed onto the last! Very impressive battle. Unfortunately your cavalry was defeated but it was a necessary counter charge and sacrifice on your weak right flank. Well played Sir, well played indeed! The naval battal against the Ottomans was a hands down completely outhulled and out outgunning and boarding action! I enjoyed that display of dominace on the high seas! Love this content and keep it coming!🍻
U got me wanting to get back into total war. I burnt out on Rome 2… but oh the memories of the naval battles in empire. I’m pretty sure there’s a command that fires all of one side of your cannons at once and it’s very useful to time. 2nd rate ships can 1 shot a lot with it
your grenadier trick does it work the other way to? if you do it in reverse will the normal unit be able to throw grenandes for science only it will not be a good idea to have to units throw grenades from a to close proximity to eachother as it will likely causes great friendly fire cassulties
Lionheart, was my comment on the last episode out of order, or is there some other reason it was deleted? I can't see it to check if I was rude or stepped over the line (I don't think I was).
I cannot fathom why you let the fire ships get so close to your ships have you ever heard of defensive maneuvers. Especially whenever you saw one destroying one of your ships.
Nothing I could do, they were too close no amount of movement would have saved the ships. Now that I know the AI can use Fireships I wont let it happen again although theres still not a huge amount I can do to take them out before they reach my lines.
@garethneill6888 doesn't do damage that quickly in empire 2 mod with the tier of ships I have right now only much higher tier and higher firepower ships can rapidly disable sails on enemy ships otherwise I'd be doing exactly this for sure!
When your ships are on fire, turn them off fire at will and the crew should put it out eventually

Dang right im watching this video twice
Loving the daily uploads! Keeps me coming back (even if it is a repeat) 😊
By jove, Empire Total War is simply brilliant, wot?
Next empire 2 play through has to be Venice because it’s got a lion on the flag
plz do a maratha confederacy playthrough
Just don't bloody stop until you win. Then do Spain.
your grenadier trick does it work the other way to?
if you do it in reverse will the normal unit be able to throw grenandes
for science only
it will not be a good idea to have to units throw grenades from a to close proximity to eachother as it will likely causes great friendly fire cassulties
i find the empire total war pirates uber alles more stable with zero crashes but empire 2 looks allot similar
wich one is better?

Wait was this re-upload.. umm copyright issue i am guessing
Would you do a historic accurate playthrough
@CédricSaxer probably not i prefer rewriting history rather than following it
@lionheartx10 I mean with army compositions. Ist's clear, Britannia rules the waves
@@CédricSaxer yeah I'm always up for historical army compositions
@@lionheartx10 nice, i Look forward to it
reupload?
@sanjikaneki6226 copyright strike on the music earlier, so had to edit it out and reupload
@@lionheartx10 MAKES SENSE , mistakes happen

Go for their sails knock them down and their basically immobilised. 1or2 volleys would do it with x2 4th line ships
