i’m using the empire 2 mod, and france blindsided me as savoy which i should’ve seen coming but i managed to completely miss it being a knucklehead.

so it’s 1785. france declares war and sends a full stack against my nothing garrison of savoyard soldiers. ofc its a defeat, and i lose my capitol region. however, i had made a deal for some technology for georgia with the united states, so i had georgia and sardinia still making me a little money.

then i check the maps. guess what? hyderabad is controlled by rebels. only issue is, i have to cross either british or maratha territory to get there. i ally with the maratha by giving them some tech, march on hyderabad, and conquer it.

suck my balls france. my savoyard empire will span the world seas and i will come back to my beloved turin and write my letters in french blood from that day forward.

i’ve been playing total war empire almost every day using darthmod and all_factions since i bought it in 2020, and i hit a wall last year.

but my god has empire II rejuvenated my love for this game.

the 1690 start is fascinating in the differentiation of tactics and warfare, the smaller armies, and the diversity in what you can do.

i’m thrilled and i’ve been playing it for 2 days straight. if you haven’t downloaded it please do it rocks cock. i’m seriously impressed by how much it adds to the game and i can’t believe it took me this long to get it.

what are some of yalls favorite empire 2 factions and starts? i’m looking to start a new long term grand campaign and would love suggestions for neat and interesting factions to try out!
