In the battles the Native Americans will rout very easily so don’t worry about being outnumbered just line your men up and fire away. Now immediately take all of your men and head north to Pennsylvania.

Take Maryland, you won’t find much opposition. Build three extra troops in your city while you construct the fishing village and the farm and then press north fast. The game starts out very gently and this first chapter is extremely easy to complete. Finally you are faced with the challenge of guiding an emerging American nation to world dominance. With the French driven out the battle for independence begins in Boston. It then pitches you into the British war against the French. The challenge starts you off gently as you lead the early settlers to their first couple of victories over the natives. It is entitled the Road to Independence and consists of four chapters which introduce you to the main concepts at play in the game. The single player story campaign in Empire: Total War centers on the birth of America as a nation and doubles neatly as a tutorial.
