Introducing Black Dawn – Total War clan.
Black Dawn is a competitive but social Total War clan.
The clan was formed 03/12/2008 by AmigaFan2003 in preparation for the imminent release of Empire:Total War and is officially incorporated into the Terra Nova Gaming Community. The clan is looking to expand into the online tournament arena. We have vast experience in all the Total War games from the very first Shogun:TW. We have forum and TS facilities to aid us in the organisation and co-ordination of battles. We also run regular hot seat campaigns.
So, if you think the clan sounds like the place for you, drop by our forums and introduce yourself or alternatively drop us a line through the Contact link.

About Empire:Total War
Empire: Total War is set in the 18th century a turbulent era that is the most requested by Total War’s loyal fan base and a period alive with global conflict, revolutionary fervor and technological advances. With themes such as the Industrial Revolution, America’s struggle for independence, the race to control Eastern trade routes and the globalisation of war on land and sea, Empire: Total War promises to be amongst the richest and most dynamic PC RTS games of all time.
Empire: Total War will see the debut of 3D naval combat within the Total War franchise. PC Gamers will be able to intuitively command vast fleets or single ships upon seascapes rich with extraordinary water and weather effects that play a huge role in your eventual glorious success or ignominious defeat. After pummeling your enemy with cannon fire, close in to grapple their ship and prepare to board taking control your men as they fight hand to hand on the decks.
Along with the revolutionary introduction of Naval Combat, Empire: Total War will see further enhancements to the Total War series signature 3D battles and turn based campaign map. Real time battles will pose new challenges with the addition of cannon and musket, challenging players to master new formations and tactics as a result of the increasing role of gunpowder within warfare. And the Campaign Map – for many the heart of Total War – will see new improved systems for Trade, Diplomacy and Espionage with agents, a refined and streamlined UI, improved Advisors and extended scope taking in the riches of India, the turbulence of Europe and the untapped potential of North America.
