Computer Games - What will the single player campaign be like? Inigo Vinos - The campaign mode allows taking any empire from the start and leading him to conquer Europe. Different objectives and winning conditions can be set. Obviously each empire has different properties, skills, and of course, their available technologies as well as their strategies differ due for instance to their geographical position. Economy and diplomacy are very important in the game. If a player neglects those aspects and starts conquering Europe with his armies, he will quickly be overwhelmed by a bigger and richer coalition. This is not a pure war game. If you believe you can invade a small neutral country like this, you have to know that other countries will lower their level of sympathy towards you, making it harder to have commercial treaties with them. Maybe they will also look for a protection pact with your enemy, or decide a commercial blockade on all your commercial routes. These are just some examples but that gives you the feeling of how diplomacy, economy and military will interact in the game. Also, some historical quests will appear along the road but we have decided not to relate a particular story in order to let to the player the total freedom of expanding his empire as he wishes and experience the game in the way he best wants it.
