Prussia starts off in a fairly precarious situation with just two regions which are divided by Poland. A continental war is an inevitable focus and all of the provinces you have to capture are in central Europe. Playing as Prussia offers a very different experience to that of most of the other major European powers. The grand campaign in Empire: Total War allows you to choose various factions and in this guide we will be focussing on how to win as Prussia. At their height the Prussians occupied a sizeable chunk of Europe and the famous French wit, Voltaire, said of them “Where some states have an army, the Prussian Army has a state!” Prussia was always associated with martial prowess and they developed a standing army which was much feared upon the continent. The kingdom went on to form the backbone of a united Germany. The nation of Prussia was forged into a famous military power during the 18th century, largely thanks to Frederick the Great.
