1) Vanilla: 2, there is absolutely no debate.
2) With mods: Hard to say. I haven't played 2's mods but I did contribute to Ancient Empires (I believe it's now a submod of Divide et Impera) and...
Why is Medieval 3 the next logical game? Seeing that the two last titles have been Warhammer and China, doesn't look like CA is going by "logic" :P
This is my dream TW game (stretching it to...
I finally got my GPU (after 10 years with an HD4870) and I'm enjoying Warhammer so far, but I really dislike the visual design of some Empire units, they feel too skinny and with just a bit of cloth...
Doesn't even let me reinstall the game, so I guess the deal is just for those players who happened to have the game installed at the time of the announcement :)
Which one would you choose if you had none?
(I'll do the poll multichoice because I imagine most people would just suggest Medieval 2 but most of us probably own it already, that way you can...
Well I started playing the series in the year 2000 with Shogun: Total War (I was 13 back then). To provide context, I had also started getting into historical strategy gaming with Age of Empires 1...
I find both (particularly The Witcher 3) good but highly overrated =)
I imagine you are asking about TW games though. I haven't played since Rome 2 (my gpu, while more than capable, does not...
I'm personally not interested at all in the Ameriacan Civil war, probably because of the burnout due to seeing it absurdly magnified and overrepresented in all media while major conflicts like the 30...
I don't want to make a top 10 because I'm rather ignorant about many key figures who usually appear in these ranks (Eugen of Saboy, Frederick the Great, Julius Caesar...) and because these lists tend...

Well, you should think twice before engaging dudes with nicknames they might have earned and well deserve :tongue:
Congartulations guys, you've come a very long way :)
I wrote a few walls of text on these things back in the day, I found a couple that might add something:
Also, if you are up for an absolute wall of text, here is a thread I started some...

You just have to answer the (extremely ambiguous question): how many races do you see in this trailer?

So far I'ves seen:
Not sure of what you mean. I just see a skull with a laurel wreath, which is also an Empire symbol:

Just to make sure, are we talking about this guy?

It's a very quick and blurry flyover, but I got the impression that it was using the same assets of Warhammer 1's Empire units.

I'd say that's just a minor vampire settlement.
Some extended gameplay and unit cards:

Actually, someone was faster than CA themselves and already uploaded the gameplay bits:

For those who are awake, there is a Warhammer 2 stream live right now with actual, proper gameplay at https://www.gamespot.com/
(Gotta say, the T-rex charging in looks great so far).
So far they've released a """"""gameplay"""""" video:

Though I recall hearing somewhere yesterday that they won't be able to show actual gameplay for about a couple weeks (so not until E3, I imagine).
Actually, while I have criticised the jumping a lot before (it makes no sense in humans and looks weird and out of place in units like orcs which are supposed to be bulky), it does actually make more...
I don't see this posted anywhere, so there you go. Enjoy =)

Fair enough. I was trying to avoid a wording in which someone would essentially tick all periods (for instance, as a Spaniard I could justify playing as a somehow relevant Spain-based faction all the...
Well, I'd say gaining independence is relevant enough (specially given the conditions, with a big war involving some of the big players of the time, like the UK, France or Spain), and the point of...
We can't really judge the validity or interest of a period or figure based on what "the masses" (so to speak) or some specific nationality know about them, if that were the case 99% of our games,...
Ok. I can't edit the polls themselves anymore, but I changed the title of the description (Ancient China: Warring States Periods and others). Given that some of the other games might also include...
A few polls just for fun, knowing that TWC is not representative of the whole TW audience and that this subforum in particular (General TW Discussion) is rather underpopulated and therefore the...
There were a couple done recently. I believe Victoria Total War was always in first place (then again, I imagine that TWC being primarily a British populated probably had some influence there. Don't...
It's not a simulator in the sense that it does not attempt to accurately recreate the exact military tactics of each period, nor the units or historical reality. It's an adaptation which gives the...
I don't think there is a lot of people playing videogames in Iraq or Syria.
In the other hand, I'm sure the Turkish audience would prefer a 16th/17th century game about the golden age of the...
Fair enough.
Then again, the West =/= US and Britain.
Tell me something, were those polls written in English and did you reach them through an American or British website?
It's much easier to be historically accurate the more recent the period is since there is juts much more information available, so my guess is that it would be one of the Napoleon TW mods. I only...
Exactly, though I insist that interest can be generated out of nowhere by the media. It's a matter of taking the risk, creating a quality product and knowing how to sell it.
Did most Americans...
Change pikes for bayonets and that description could pretty much fit what Wellington did in Waterloo and I see no one complaining about the truckload of games and movies we have about it.

Adding some fuel to the neverending turn-based vs real time discussion for Total War, just wanted to share that Sega has just bought Black Sea Studios for the Creative Assembly. Who you say? Well,...
Well, wow. For those who didn't watch the Barηa-PSG, it's the biggest comeback in the history of the Champions League.
Barηa deserved the win, and even as a Madrid fan, I'm glad they sent home a...
