Creative Assembly: Total War Series

Curious how many here have been playing these games over the years and what you think about the current future with TW40k and Medieval 3 looming on the horizon.
I have always liked the historical iterations but warmed up to the Warhammer titles until TWW3 which fell pretty flat with the integration into the previous titles for the Immortal Empires grand campaign involving all three.
The need to purchase all three titles plus DLC to have access to all factions was an interesting way to package RMT for consumer consumption in a different way.

Total War Medieval has always been frustrating, but I’ve repeatedly bought it. I don’t think I’ll by TW3 because of the faction based DLCs.
Why pay more to have the French and Spanish declare war on you every 5 years if you don’t cede one of your top 3 holdings then proceed to siege it with 3 peasant regiments and a ballista. Its just annoying
I’d buy TW Empire 2 in heartbeat though, DLCs, factions and all.

Played the first one, thought it was awesome, played rome, awesome. Took a few years off and came back to one of them.
WTF have they done. So many useless menu's and mechanics. Haven't came back since.

I played a ton of the OG Rome: Total War and its sequel. I played some of the others (notably, Medieval and Shogun/Shogun II).
I never played any of the Warhammer/40K titles.

I'm with you. With "Darthmod" it may be one of the best in series.
Hoping ME3 will be Rome 2+Atilla systems without the bloat and better optimization.
No need to reinventive the wheel and please stop importing the RPG driven progression from Three kingdoms and Troy.
Still trying to like Pharoah: Dynasties.
Lack of effective mobility and flanking make it a slog similar to Thrones of Britannia.

Interesting - what does Darthmod entail?
I usually turtle up with the Dutch in a Caribbean and run a strong navy. It’s a shame you can’t play as pirate faction

They lost the plot after Shogun 2

Makes Empire what is should have been at launch, at least a patch or two into cycle.

I have played a few of the historic ones like rome and shogun.
i have played all the TWWH ones, and still play immortal empires on a regula basis either solo or online with my brother.
i am very excited about the upcoming 40k title. i am a bit disappointed about the number of factions you will start with though. Its very limited.

I had to self-ban myself from that series after one of the shogun or Rome sequels. They were way too addictive.

I have 100s of hours in those games from Rome, Empire, Medeival, and Shogun. Spent so much time on Empire I took over North America with the US then mounted an invasion of Europe and took it over too haha

Same on Rome and Medieval, especially Medieval 2. Great games but now with CK2 and CK3 out, they just don't make sense anymore

They are completely different games from crusader kings. The appeal if the total war games is manually controlling your armies on the battlefield.

It's hard to find decent games for iPhone, but I really enjoyed the TW ports.

Empire Total War and the original Rome Total War were my favorites. I did not like the Shogun remake personally.

Shogun 2 is best game in the series.

While shogun 2 might be my favorite, I loved the Warhammer games. They did such a good job on those games despite the greedy dlc strategy. I think my most played game on steam is TW Warhammer 2. Such great mod support. Loved the steel faith mods
