Total War EMPIRE - Definitive Edition Campaign (The Ottoman Empire) Chapter 9 - Gameplay 4K/60FPS

Empire: Total War takes place during the 18th and early 19th centuries (from 1700 to 1800, in 100 "turns"). Much of the game is about exploration and conquest, fighting wars far from home and establishing colonies in areas as diverse as Europe, North Africa, North and Central America, and India.[1]

There are also four maritime trade regions: the Brazilian coast, the Gulf of Guinea, the Mozambique Channel, and the East Indies. Like the other games in the series, it features two gameplay modes: a turn-based geopolitical campaign map that allows the player to move armies and ships across the globe, conduct diplomacy, trade, espionage, and the internal politics of their nations, and a real-time battle map that allows the player to directly command battles.

The only playable factions are the eight largest and most influential factions in the world: Western Europe includes the Kingdom of Great Britain, the Kingdom of France, the United Provinces (Republic of the Netherlands), the Kingdom of Spain, and the Kingdom of Sweden; while Central and Eastern Europe is represented by the Kingdom of Prussia, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, the Habsburg Monarchy (Austria), and the Russian Empire; in the Balkans and the Middle East, the dominant power is the Ottoman Empire, and the Maratha Empire is the largest power in the Indian subcontinent. In the new world, the most influential protectorate is the Thirteen Colonies, which could become the United States. Several smaller nations exist on the map, such as the small Italian and German states, Native American tribes, North African nations, and others.

A historical campaign called "Road to Independence" is also included, which guides the player through the British colonization of the Americas in three chapters, each consisting of historically based battles followed by faction maintenance. In the first, the player establishes and develops the colony of Jamestown, Virginia; in the second, the player faces the French and their native allies in the French and Indian War; and in the third, the player commands the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. Completing this campaign unlocks the United States for the grand campaign and a fourth chapter (both shorter than usual, beginning in 1783).
