Press release, don't feel like summarizing. Could be good to get new players to buy it, but it could be pretty fun as well, as long as the story is any good ...
Alongside the open ?Grand Campaign? game mode now sits the groundbreaking ?Road to Independence?, a brand new episodic campaign which will gradually introduce newcomers to the series to the incredible size of the Total War experience, as well as giving Total War veterans a new way to experience the game. The ?Road to Independence? mode is broken down into 3 episodes. Each of these episodes tells a part of American History, while introducing gameplay mechanics through a strong narrative structure.
Episode 1: The Founding of Jamestown.
The first episode tells the story of the establishment of Jamestown by the British Colonial settlers. The main objective of this chapter is to develop Jamestown, a fragile settlement, to a self-sufficient colony. While doing this the player must protect the colony from the constant threat of hostile Native American tribes.
Episode 2: The French Indian War
The second episode is set during the French Indian War, when the French and the British were fighting for control of North America. Playing as the British Colonial settlers, under the leadership of George Washington, the player will be introduced to diplomacy, offensive tactics, and siege battles, in order to eventually drive the French out of North America.
Episode 3: The American Revolution
The third and final episode of the ?Road to Independence? introduces the Americans as a playable faction, and the player is in charge of the new North American army whose purpose is to force the tyrannical British from the country. Introducing the player to the research section of the game, as well as the diplomatic maneuvers required to drive the British away from American soil will put the player to the ultimate test and will prepare them to take on the ?Grand Campaign?
