PC Gaming General Total War Thread

These feel like they contadictatory.

Everyone loves Total War Warhammer.

It's just the... other stuff they have been doing hasn't been outstanding. To be completely honest, they're trying too hard.

They have the recipe, and they have all the ingredients. But CA seems intent on not following the recipe and using the ingredients they have.

They have some solid games/ideas. Rather than trying to desperately to make smaller, more focused games... just keep improving and expanding on Rome/Shogun/Medieval/Empire.

I think it's mostly that last paragraph to be honest. They keep making these small scale games for big prices. Thrones of Britannia, Troy and now Pharaoh.

Three Kingdoms was big on release but didn't really stick with most audiences.

People do just want a FULL Historical Total War and CA ain't giving it. Even a Bronze Age Total War would've been better received IMHO.

I think part of the contradictory impression is that CA probably shouldn't completely abandon Pharaoh. They just released it and thousands of people bought it. Just abandoning it now would be detrimental to a fair number of people. But giving partial refunds and free DLC is a good step.

Hopefully further in the future they'll be able to make the moves for historical Total War people want. But right now Pharaoh is still a fresh release so it'll be a while before they move in I guess.

Three Kingdoms was closer, but I think there's alot of people who just really don't about the region/period. Myself included. I just... don't really care about China.

Full Bronze Age Total War would have been awesome.

They could probably "maintenance mode" it and be fine. It's a complete, working game.

CA needs to just stick to the Warhammer games, and making huge, historical(ish) grand strategies.

Gotta keep that hope alive...



Lord of the Rings Total War would be pretty boss.

Our Son just turned Sixteen!

I feel like it was only yesterday that he was born into this (Known) World. They grow up so quickly!

Crying so hard right now. He has his Grandfather's beard!

Bride service pricing and/or dowries are all negotiable. Only serious offers will be entertained. Thank you.

Give him another 10 years and maybe. I need some reliable info about how good of a conqueror he is first.
