Perfect Time Period
Creative Assembly, the developer of Empire Total War has said that the 18th Century was the perfect setting for a game in the Total War series simply because there were so many battles happening all around the world. During that time period, people were fighting over just about everything: land and other natural resources, national honor, religion and freedom. This gave the developers plenty of fodder for the game.
Developer Mike Brunton said in a developer diary on the game's official web site, "When they weren’t fighting each other (and that wasn’t very often, to be honest), the Europeans packed their booze and set out to see the world, and then conquer it. They took their wars with them, and European armies fought each other in every corner of the globe with and without local allies. The Seven Years War, for example, was a global conflict, and saw battles in the Americas, in India and in almost every sea between."
Besides those conflicts both the French Revolution and the American Revolution took place in the 18th Century as well.Official Site: Empire Total War
