Empire Total War is better than Napoleon Total War (the computer games)

Refutations"ETW has a larger map. In other words there are more places in which to expand, explore, and conquer. This however does not make the game harder, it just makes it more fun. Weather period is minor."Obviously, but that makes it more complex for newer players who might want something more simple or those who want a quick game."However how do rebels get hold of artillery? All of the artillery should be with your army. The rebels sometimes even had line infantry. The real rebellions were mostly peasant hordes, armed militia. However your dealing with more of an army, not a rebellion in NTW. When playing the Egyptian Campaign, it is about as hard to defeat a rebel army as it is to defeat a Mameluke army. And there are so many rebellions that in the end you spend less time fighting the enemy. When I played the Egyptian campaign It took me a few times to beat, even on easiest because of the unreasonable size and number of rebellions. In the end I just had to forget about conquering and holding any significant amount of territory and just go through and quickly take all the victory conditions. My point is that why not just have an entire country called "rebels" in Egypt. The rebellions are very annoying since they can just take cities while my army is fighting the Mamelukes."Historically, rebellions have had artillery and some professional infantry. When the American Revolution occured, the rebels had some infantry join them and professional officers like George Washington and Charles Lee. The artillery was taken in forts by American troops led by Benedict Arnold. In the French Revolution, the poor people were joined by several French soldiers who were among the poor. These soldiers naturally had artillery with them. Both artillery and infantry were common on both sides, just more for the government. You also don't want to make rebellions too easy. "The Egyptian campaign is not as realistic as you make it seem. How is it that it is possible to build French line infantry in Egypt? Napoleon had 40,000 men and that was it. Yet you can train French soldiers in Egypt."New French recruits would be sent to Egypt. You then have to train them to create a unit. Arguments"What I meant was that Spain and Italy are both in Europe, only Egypt is in Africa. And in Napoleon's European Campaign Turkey and the middle east are completely off limits."Firm disagreement. The Ottoman Empire controls Turkey in the European campaign. While Spain and Italy are both in Europe, the fact that they have separate campaign maps offers an interesting new look to some countries.On the Coalition, you don't want it to be too real. Otherwise you are simply just repeating history. That is boring, so they take some alternate turns. By the way, the AI was worse in ETW with countries doing nothing. NTW is a lot better with activeness among allies. "I would like to point out that there are several episodes which you can play in ETW which follow the colonization of the Americas, the French and Indian war, and the American Revolution."Yes, that was the main story and it was horribly boring. The NTW campaign allowed someone to emotionally tie to a main character (Napoleon) with his secretary as the narrator. In ETW, the story is basically narrated by George Washington and focuses solely on one area in the campaign map: North America.The NTW campaign takes place in several exotic and sexy locations like Egypt."Graphics do not necessarily make a game better. As you pointed out the difference between NTE and ETW infantry. However graphics do not make the game any better. And you can only really how the infantry looks when you bother to zoom in."I don't want it look like I'm playing Mario. The difference in infantry allows people to feel like their there: the uniforms of the men, the music playing as they march, the officers shouting orders. It is awesome! Graphics help with realism.ConclusionMy arguments have held well and I have refuted all my opponent's arguments. Realism > EasyVote Con!
