What is Victoria Total War?
As you may know , there have been quite a bit of victorian era mods for various total war games , but some of them were left incomplete or gone to another game...But this mod is not the case . What if we mix the campaign of victoria II with the riveting battles of Total War' ¡This mod!
Battles
In this mod battles have a mix between Napoleonic tactics and modern bloodshed . Just one unit can make the difference in a battle!
Altough cavalry will become less useful over time , ¡Never underestimate the power of a good old sable blow! Here the use of cavalry needs to be highly tactical , you can't just make them charge at random as , chances are , they will be obliterated by those pesky breechloading rifles!
Infantry
Infantry play a vital part here , as they have quicker and more accurate rifles and more morales , a single unit can take on cavalry regiments on its own!
Elite infantry can and will pose a major threat , as they can be a force to be reckoned when they face various infantry regiments
Infantry can also build trenches to defend themselves as sometimes the best attack is the defense.
Artillery
Artillery is the most vital part of an army , as you venture trough the victorian era , you wil see how artillery evolves and becomes key in winning battles . Fast loading and deadlier than any muzzle-loaded cannon! the breech-loading artillery will become a problem for many generals , also machineguns will make their historic debut!
