The Creative Assembly's road to success with Total War started with feudal Japan and Shogun, and since then the developer hasn't looked back.
Its latest game, Empire: Total War, was announced at this year's Games Convention in Leipzig, revealing an 18th century-setting strategy epic. One of the key features is the introduction of 3D naval warfare to the series, which the developer says is something it's always wanted to do - and the Empire era is perfect for its debut.
But naval warfare isn't the end of the new addition story - The Creative Assembly is promising enhancements across the board and generally deeper gameplay than we've witnessed in previous titles in the series, but at the same time cutting down on micro-management to avoid overburdening players.
