Expand Full Description & Credits

File Instructions:: The latest version of APE:TI, the best and most ambitious modding project for Empire: Total War. APE:TI significantly alters most aspects of the game we have access to and offers you a wholly different gameplay designed to allow you to make much more interesting and difficult decisions as befits a proper strategy game.

A Proper Empire: Terra Incognita balances combat, morale, and battlefield effects. Pricing changes in units, buildings, and research costs will challenge you but new units, new technologies, and new methods of controlling your Empire will be available.

Enjoy exciting new features like Manpower and Supply, a completely rebalanced economy and, most importantly, an exhilarating new gameplay feeling. The aim is to present the player with ways to employ diverse strategies and present him with interesting decision that offer meaningful choices.

Thanks to major contributions from members all across the community the mod now contains additional unit textures, improved smoke and sounds, historically accurate battalion/naval flags. Also included; over half a dozen new units, with more to come -- there are even compatible additional unit packs provided by members of the community!

While we do make some historical changes and try to bring a level of realism to the game we prefer not to label the mod; if we were to do so we'd call it a 'gameplay mod' more than anything else.
