1. Great Britain
The United Kingdom will soon be established, but in year 1700, Great Britain is a faction with already relatively vast empire and great starting position. You have 6 regions under your control and established foothold in North American theater of war. What’s more important, Great Britain has a great defensive position thanks to above mentioned English channel, thus its isolation factor is quite good. With William III of Orange upon the throne, you don’t have to worry about The Netherlands and can safely divert your attention to colonial growth. That, however, is where you’ll ultimately get in conflicts with France and Spain which will be your main rivals in both the new world and on the European mainland.
These are 6 easiest countries to play as in Empire Total War, but this doesn’t mean that other factions aren’t as interesting to play with. We have tried to highlight potential dangers and opportunities for every single faction on the list, and if you’re still up to some carnage in Empire’s theaters of war – do feel free to try one of them out.
