<h3>Welcome to Empire: Total War on the TWC</h3>
 
<br>
 
<center>[[File:Empire_wiki_banner2.png]]
 
<br>
 
<big>[[Empire: Total War]] is a game in the [[Total War]] series developed by the [[Creative Assembly]]. 
 
<br>Released in March 2009 and is published by Sega. It is set in the 18th century and includes features such as the Industrial Revolution, America's struggle for independence and the colonization of India. For the first time in a Total War game, players have the ability to play real-time 3D naval battles. Also a feature that had been developed in the game was the decentralisation of provinces, adding greater realism in that many features, from production to technological advancement, would now occur outside of the capital of the province. It was the first in the series to use Valve Corporation's Steamworks DRM and achievements system, thereby requiring Steam to be played. It was the first to use Total war Engine 3 which included the Warscape Engine.
 
 
 
In September 2009, an expansion titled The '''Warpath Campaign''' [http://store.steampowered.com/app/10606/?snr=1_5_9__405 (Steam)] was announced for release the following month. The campaign, released as downloadable content, focuses on the battles of the Europeans and Native Americans throughout most of North and Central America. The new campaign expands the North American territories and features 5 new playable factions: Iroquois, Cherokee, Huron, Pueblo and Plains Nations. New researchable technologies were also added, along with the new scout and shaman agents and new faction-specific objectives.

The AER mod is an overhaul of ETW with the aim to improve gameplay and add immersion to the vanilla game. The mod is focused on history and realism within the limits the CA source data and game engine provides. I have tried to keep AER modular, so it can be played alongside other mods that change other aspects of the ETW game.
