Empire: Total War takes place during the period from the 1700s to the early 1800s, a turbulent era in history when technology was being fuelled by a new industrial age and for the first time various powers were fighting for control of the Old and New Worlds on a global scale. This is the age of the French Revolution, Voltaire, the American War of Independence, Mozart, Wellington, the British Empire, and of course, Guybrush Threepwood, Captain Jack Sparrow and Blackadder the Third.
