Made by The Creative Assembly and to be published by Sega, Empire: Total War simulates empire-versus-empire combat taking place around the time of America's War of Indepedence. The game is set to arrive sometime this March, and will only be available for the PC.
Since the games announcement last August, there has been a steady and slow stream of videos coming out, detailing different aspects of the game.
Today video 5 was released, on the topic of multiplayer -- although to be honest there isn't tons of information actually on multiplayer revelead in the video.
The game seems to be shaping up well. With a renewed expansion of naval combat, this latest chapter in the long running Total War strategy game series looks like it will be the best one yet.
