What you get you get from buildings or techs, and most of the time you can’t make a lot of buidings because you barely make any money. Unlike Medieval Total War, there aren’t any titles you can give out to your nobility, or any religion, or any spies. You spend a lot of time hitting End Turn. It’s impossible to build anything that even resembles 40,000 in this game. When Napoleon invaded Russia in 1812 his Grand Army had 400,000 people. The other bad thing is that unit size is like 60-30. Especially for the enemy capitals – its like 20 turns and if you have too few troops sieging the enemy capital rebel troops popup out of nowhere (its actually pretty lame). Also, you don’t capture territories right away – it takes a long time for them to be annexed. After that a bunch of other independent countries liked me a lot (90+% sympathy) and I assimilated them a few turns later.

I invaded it and proceeded to free two vassal provinces, then instead of invading them I released them. Each province has a “Sympathy” level towards a particular Empire, and once it reaches a 100% for someone they will peacefully join that province (and you get all their ships and troops too!! awesome). Then I restarted as the British and this time it was way more fun… there are still not enough units (like 2 infantry, cavalry, artillery per age) but there are some good things: researching through a tech tree (and you can research slower for a bigger gold income), trade routes (build trade branches in foreign territories or send commercial Brigantines to other ports) and of course the Peaceful Assimilation process. Since you can only build units in one province once your beginning armies are defeated you’re pretty much screwed – an alliance of AI will roll right over you. Petersburg, and the provinces are huge (I liked Knights of Honor size way more) – beginning Russia takes up half of Europe and it’s only 5 provinces (lame). Also for some reason you can only build units in Capitals (wtf?) so you can only recruit guys in St. So I was playing as Russia, first Sweden goes to war with me, then Moldavia, then Poland+Austria, and then finally Ottoman Empire gets in on it. This means that enemies have a far easier time moving around their units (btw, why didnt they implement the MTW version of moving troops by sea? sigh) and thanks to the fact that when you’re Russia pretty much everyone is against you and also something called “right of passage” you have a bunch of people coming over to you kicking your ass real fast. In Medieval Total War there are like 100+ provinces, but in Imperial Glory I wouldn’t be surprised if its more like 50ish. Let me be the first to tell you, the provinces are bloody huge.
