So you covered no actual leaks, you covered the rumours that the community have been hearing for the last year. This video could have been half it's runtime. I have seen this in your video's a lot lately, I'm sorry but I always followed your channel to catch up to news about Bannerlord, Total War etc. but lately it's been quite a lot of rambly video's in which you repeat yourself 2-3 times. I'm guessing just to put out a video of decent length? I can understand it's a slow news period for theses game franchises. But imho the quality of the video's suffer from it. I don't mean to bash you or anything, just a observation.
I swear anytime I hear this dude talk is how the future is bright! TW is coming back baby! Maybe Medieval 3! Maybe Empire 2! Click on the video please! Anytime I click a video of his giving him a chance for redemption is just the same old tired bullshit. He knows it too. At this point it's just grifting and shilling for the TW market team.
Would be awesome, but if they make it, of course it's going to have complete shìt castles, 2 of them in total, for variety. Because that's how this works.
@@jefo2405 I hope, though I doubt, they'll have learnt from past mistakes. Like it can't be that hard to make maps. If they need help I'll happily sit there and make some maps, especially good & accurate castle maps for them.
For Empire I would like either completely new engine, capable of simulating ~100 times more troops, or some limited scale. Being history fan, the only thing i hated about Empire, Napoleon, Rome - was the fact battles were absolutely TINY, 1 warrior represented 100 (!) warriors IRL. It was killing the immersion, compared to naturally limited in scale like Shogun, Viking, Brittania etc. where battles were more or less 1 to 1 with real life. Similar situation with cities - Shogun or Brittania represented nearly all important cities when Empire, Napoleon or even Rome - 9 out of 10 cities IRL were omitted completely. But yes, Empire/Napoleon times were awesome from military PoV. Cheers
Safest and best thing to do is to make either Medieval Total War 3 or Empire Total War 2, both would sell well and that money boost could be used to expand in new directions.
Unless you're saying we need proper AI and more meaningful mechanics a new engine is really just a ''buhh better graphics'' thing. They waste the potential of current and past engines enough as it is, getting a new one won't help matters unless they can solve their root issues.
@@CoffeeFiend1 I am indeed saying for proper AI and more meaningful mechanics. And most importantly for me personally, for adjustable slow motion with actual sound - like in Medieval 2. Fixing the janky coordinated movement where all units turn or start to move at exactly the same split second is needed to.
@@Zeek-Tomo Then we're entirely in agreement. Nice of the wanker 2 comments above to insult me before the clarification though. I miss the older engines a lot.
I had a real good time with empire lol, now that I’m older I replayed it and see all the bugs Everyone was talking about, but imagine if it was stream lined and had more territories and content. The whole world!!! Like come onnnn Mann.

May be a unpopular opinion but the battles in Pharoah, Dynasties and Troy. I feel like after Attila the people and battles feel not gritty or real enough they feel fake
It's the engine with all it's tech debt. A lot is pasted over to hide how units interact but it's noticable that the way they do is downgraded from previous titles. Some good vids out there just showing how a unit moved through another in Rome compared to the blobbing in later titles. And then you get the opposite in Troy when units ran through each other when they were supposed to be fighting. Warhammer is fun mosly because of the IP , some great VA and has a lot of whiz bang to distract you but I look at older titles if I want a challenge. Just annoying that some cool time periods turned out so bad , unlikely to see a decent 3k remake in my lifetime.
Total war needs to add a feature control ai button kinda like arma where you can play in the battle on the ground , kinda like mount and blade option built within total war is my dream.
its bad that they still go into regions that are void of their core players. the vast majority have asked for Medieval 3 or Empire 2 for a decade now but instead they want to do a star wars total war? sure go ahead do it, but dont be surprised if the numbers are below that of expectations. CA really needs to please its core audience first before they venture into all this other stuff again. They have completely given up on historical titles and their main games are Warhammer now. They are going to die just like Ubisoft because they dont know their own consumers.
I'm sorry but the battle mechanics, and look and animations for pharaoh are still terrible and miles off the older games. I really don't understand why everyone is giving it a free pass simply because the game actually runs halfway decent without crashing.
Bro please stop. I waited until dynasties to drop before pulling the trigger but it's a great game. The battles are really good. It runs super smooth for me and the ui is great. I love to hate on total war when they make mistakes but dynasties has thoroughly impressed me. It's made me so hopeful for the future. As long as they don't make the mistake of dropping a half finished game again.
imo, there's only 3 routes to redeem Total War for me - a new Medieval title, a new gunpowder Napoleanoic/Empire one (or maybe even a more modern WWI type title?), OR - and my favorite idea - a LotR one if they could ever hope to get rights for it. I could throw a new Shogun/samurai one in there, but honestly I think Shogun 2 is still a near-perfect TW game and still looks good enoough to be on par with more modern ones.
They need to make a new engine. The current one is tired. Then get a medieval 3 and Empire 2 out. A huge map with both. They should not have release of one of those games and have countries like England/ Byzantines or HRE unplayble and release a dlc to make them playable. Those sort of predatory tactics put me off TW when they did that with Rome 2.
I don't think a WW1 total war would work on the campaign map. Battle lines weren't as mobile in WW1 as they could be in other historical periods. A battle would only move the lines a few miles to the next big trench and the armies would be pretty much stationary in a back and forth exchange...
My three parameters for purchase *It has a brand new engine that has been thoroughly tested and not rushed. *It's historical (exception could be ASOIAF/GOT) * It is not dummed down but instead, fleshed out with deep new & returning features...not streamlined!
to say the ww1 mod for napoleon "works pretty well" is quite too much to ask for that mod, ww1 cannot be portrayed through total war as we know it, that mod doesnt portray it well and will never portray it well. Starting from 1890 upwards lethality of weapons meant no more closed formations, and thats the meat and grind of total war, closed formations NOT PLATOONS... i dont care about monsters or flying units or heroes of warhammer, trying to see a "could be modern setting" with what they have done with warhammer is just delusional. Any modern warfare setting starting from ww1 and including 40k would need a cover system, a vehicle system to put units inside and deploy them (not single entity monsters, which is what empire tanks are in WH), a SOLDIER equipment system to equip them with different weapons and throw grenades, deploy mines, etc... and thats just the battles... campaign wise? i dont even know how they can tackle it with the current system, i dont have a clue how they can bring the feeling of a FRONTLINE with 20 "unit" (units wont work here as i said) army stacks. They say they are doing 40k seriously, its development its already advanced, im genuinely interested on how it will play, cause for it to play properly it must be totally different from any other TW plus, ww1? a war famous because the lines moved meters on some parts, yeah, there are some battles, verdun and so on, in some parts they advanced a couple kilometers but dude... you really want to set a total war in that timeframe? another pharao? again? it seems a game that will get dumped again
My advice/wish for CA: I just want a game that plays like the original medieval. Immersive. Uncomplicated. Challenging battle AI. Trim out all of the cruft. Just deliver the basics and do it well.
I really don't understand why anyone would want a WW1 TW. The Napoleon mod was "fine" but not outstanding. TW just doesn't fit with the way WW1 battles played out. If you want a WW1 game, go play Strategic Command. TW has always been at its absolute best when working with line infantry and massed unit tactics. Theres a reason the comments on videos like this are full of people asking for Medieval 3 or Empire 2.
If they are working on 40k and starwars it would kind of make sense. They are both scifi worlds with heavy focus on both ranged and melee combat. I would expect them to use 40k as the prototype game so they can refine the ranged combat mechanics for star wars. That's my guess on their plan anyway.
It's a lot more complicated than things like Warhammer and Star Wars though, 99% of people only know bits of the lore and world from the films. Most haven't read the books and other associated works and it's a very vast scope in terms of time periods covered and geography, a lot of it also isn't very fleshed out so there would be a lot of liberties that would need to be ironed out like with the new factions in Warhammer total war that haven't had much material to work with. It'd be really hard. But I'd pay a few hundred £ and not whine like a bitch if it's shorter than some other title. I hope they do someday.
I mean. It wouldn't be that much different other than the map and story. Orks, elves , dwarves, trolls, giant spiders... You get all that in Warhammer Tw already. Wouldn't make much sense to do Lord Of The Rings.
Im also a fan of starwars, hope they don't mess again. Pharaoh was their lesson do not mess with their foundation gameplay; don't remove the family tree, generals have age, personality, relations, and can be wounded and die on the battle. Diplomacy, trade, relations, distict factions based on their culture, large maps for longer hours time, can hire mercenaries. Heroes or generals must have skills and don't easily die I guese can diaband on his guards and can one on one battle on other heroes. On star wars if the rumors was correct hope they will do the best. And their win is our wins too.
@@matthewadkins7973 I don't think you understand the scale of 40k battles, its millions and billions battling. I don't think creative assembly can deliver a true to lore 40k experience.
@@TheeCambion I don't think u understand reading comprehension. I'm talking about how well CA existing engine could run the diff units. Not pure scale. U will not in this decade see a strategy game with millions and billions fighting and dying
WH40k, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, or even a real shot in the dark something like A Game of Thrones. Any of these could fit well with TW gameplay. I’d love to see a Shogun 3. It’s hard to play Shogun 2. It’s very outdated.
They need to keep their cashcow which is making total war for other franchises e.g. warhammer, star wars, power puff girls, whatever. But whilst this is going on and raking in the fat stacks they need to maintain a historical side that ACTUALLY DOES historical, not pseudo-historical with fantasy and MMO RPG elements bolted on awkwardly like some fucking mutant mengele experiment to 'appeal broadly' because it doesn't appeal broadly, it pisses everyone off because it's convoluted.
Total war: lord of the rings Total war: elder scrolls Total war : star wars Total war : world war Total war : Cavemen Total war : medevel 3 Total war : empire 2.
Total War Warhammer is absolutely awesome, if you are not playing it you are really missing out. But you are right some lately have been hit and misses. A really great 40K Total War on the same level as Warhammer Total War would be so awesome! We will see
I understand it’s not plausible, but I really think that they should do a medieval three but also add in the political and intrigue in depth system of crusader Kings. I love total war and a huge fan but feel like this part has always been lacking to the depth. Crusader Kings goes and is something that I don’t think would be as hard to program in comparison to what they’ve already achieved.
People have been speculating on Empire 2, Medieval 3, Rome 3, and Shogun 3 for a decade. CA does this to string you along hoping that you will buy the new stuff. Stop caring about a company who hasn't cared about you in a decade.
I honestly wonder if there is anyone left in the company who understands what was good about early TW. Ever since TW Arena the battle maps have been cluttered with obstacles and seemingly converted to lanes in imitation of MOBA's.
Total War Pharaoh was really well received? That's news to me. CA will be absolutely shocked to hear it too given how they have lost their almost the entire budget of Pharaoh, no one buying it being "Troy 2 except it is not free on Epic".
why they don't make a total war title that include the whole world set in the Bronze Age or Ancient times or in the Medieval times , I am sick of those TW Titles that only cover 2 countrys . 3K did only had like 1/3 of china covered
We got enough from the Warhammer universe. We need a SOLID historical title. Empire 2 Total War Shogun 3 Total War Medieval 3 Total War Rome 3 Total War Attila 2 Total war Or a new IP. Like American Civil War, WW1.
Nah man we need a Westeros total war with different time periods just like Medieval 2 did with the Britannia etc campaigns Star Wars WWI Expanded Empire 2 with the entire world available OR Combine fantasy and historical with a Westeros game. They have everything they need from previous mods to do it and the HOD show plus the GOT spin offs will keep momentum and fandom high during the duration of the game
Pharaoh would be great if not for the twrrible graphics that they had in troy also. I hate the cartoonish look and the weapons are so disproportionate. Especially the bows, i miss the models and graphics that were always used like atilla and rome2. It looks much more realistic to me
They need to bring back the old shogun 2 fighting animations and gore with their games i feel like that would be whats best. I mean these are all war games most people that play war games want to see all the bloody realistic carnage. Not that bs warhammer smack in the knee and his head pop off.
I have lost all faith and hope for total war, they don’t make fun games any more. I dislike fantasy and they don’t make real historical games. The last “total war” type games I have played and enjoyed is Manor loads and Mount and blade 2 banner lord. I know they are not real total games, but the battle system is great. What I love about banner lord is you are a character on the battlefield, commanding and fighting. I have played it for over 700 hours in a year, so I still find it fun.
Creative assembly needs to stop doing this garbage warhamer shit. Neck beards just keep encouraging them with endless money. All i want is a historical title so i can larp as my ancestors bruh😔
Star Wars, Medieval 2 or Empire 2. Anything else and the franchise is toast. And sadly, I wouldn't be surprised if they decided to just give everyone a bit "F you" released Warhammer 4
Making a star wars game is absolutely a dumb decision. All the comments on everyone of these videos want Medieval3 or Empire 2. I dont think a Star Wars title would actually sell well at all, no one is asking for it at all and i have never seen a comment like "Star Wars TW oh man sweeet!!"
Nah man we need a Westeros total war with different time periods just like Medieval 2 did with the Britannia etc campaigns Star Wars WWI Expanded Empire 2 with the entire world available OR Combine fantasy and historical with a Westeros game. They have everything they need from previous mods to do it and the HOD show plus the GOT spin offs will keep momentum and fandom high during the duration of the game We DO NOT need another warhammer game
CA lost me the moment that Warhammer 1 came out. It's not the setting, although I admit I despise Games Workshop and everything they make or do, but the biggest problem is the engine. The fact that CA just uses the same shitty engine that just makes the battles feel like shit is the biggest problem. Say what you want about the old engine from Medieval II, but at least the battles felt like, well, battles. Not some dumb health-bar measuring contest.
CA could find a way to work with Wētā Workshop to make a TW LOTR...everyone wants a TW game set in LOTR and Wētā Workshop could make even MORE cash out of since they have the rights to make games...so I see that as a fumble on both ends
Why LOTR when they already have Warhammer Fantasy, which is a cooler setting? And even if you think LOTR is cool, it is so similar to Warhammer fantasy in terms of units, that it would play the same.
@@MichaelDavis-mk4me literally all the old TW games play the same dude, I’d buy Lotr just because it’s lotr and that’s why they’d make alot of money off it because Lotr is too beloved.
@@sercravenmohead3631 LOTR has been eating rocks for the last 20 years. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it does not carry the same weight it once did. The LOTR universe isn't that fantastic, it was always the characters that made it stand out. Strip that out and just keep armies smashing each other, you'll have a bland Warhammer Fantasy unless you just start making lore to justify units and stuff, which the license holder will just laugh in your face and say no, because you are not Amazon.
@@MichaelDavis-mk4me That’s pretty much what the whole property does since Peter Jackson made the movies was not make 1 to 1 copy of the books, all the games are based off the movies more than anything like Battle for Middle Earth or Shadow of Mordor, there is plenty of content in the franchise that’s not canon at all really and Amazon makes Rings of Power which is basically poor fan fiction. When CA took on warhammer they were rolling the dice because not too long ago warhammer was very niche and not nearly as popular as today. If they did a good job on a lotr TW it could revitalize the franchise just like it did with warhammer fantasy which was at the time discontinued and shelved by Gamesworkshop. Warhammer TW is the most popular top played warhammer game on steam so why wouldn’t the holders of Lotr let CA do the same? Idk man if you think it’s bland why would it bother you if you simply don’t play it?
@@sercravenmohead3631 I would play it, on heavy discount, most likely a year or more after. The reason I "bother" is because I'd rather CA make a game I'm actually hyped for.
They are throwing the warhammer 40k licence to anyone big and small. There are so many 40k games now its crazy. They used to be carefull with their IP, not anymore. Its all about the money baby
If it means more 40k content I have no issue with it. There will definitely be some misses but space marine 2 was great and hopefully we will see that continue on

It's a lot more complicated than things like Warhammer and Star Wars though, 99% of people only know bits of the lore and world from the films. Most haven't read the books and other associated works and it's a very vast scope in terms of time periods covered and geography, a lot of it also isn't very fleshed out so there would be a lot of liberties that would need to be ironed out like with the new factions in Warhammer total war that haven't had much material to work with. It'd be really hard. But I'd pay a few hundred £ and not whine like a bitch if it's shorter than some other title. I hope they do someday.
Perfect mods that do that across several TW titles.
@@Daergarz yes but imagine what a stand-alone game would be like
@@CoffeeFiend1 yeah, it’s not really likely and would be hard to do. But I hope someday we’ll have something of sorts.
I mean. It wouldn't be that much different other than the map and story. Orks, elves , dwarves, trolls, giant spiders... You get all that in Warhammer Tw already. Wouldn't make much sense to do Lord Of The Rings.
they should have listened to their audience and what we want, which is a midlevel total war with lots of diplomacy options.
Im also a fan of starwars, hope they don't mess again. Pharaoh was their lesson do not mess with their foundation gameplay; don't remove the family tree, generals have age, personality, relations, and can be wounded and die on the battle. Diplomacy, trade, relations, distict factions based on their culture, large maps for longer hours time, can hire mercenaries. Heroes or generals must have skills and don't easily die I guese can diaband on his guards and can one on one battle on other heroes. On star wars if the rumors was correct hope they will do the best. And their win is our wins too.
I don't know how 40k can translate to the mechanics of total war. It would have to be a completely different game
I mean it works pretty well, the astra militarum uses trench warfare and the space Marines just kinda run around killing shit
@@matthewadkins7973 I don't think you understand the scale of 40k battles, its millions and billions battling. I don't think creative assembly can deliver a true to lore 40k experience.
@@TheeCambion I don't think u understand reading comprehension. I'm talking about how well CA existing engine could run the diff units. Not pure scale. U will not in this decade see a strategy game with millions and billions fighting and dying
@@TheeCambionIf battlesector can work a total war game can work
I don't know why people just don't attempt Supreme Commander 2 but with WH40k themes. That would be the tits.
Most recent total war warhammer dlc was thrones of decay, which was received very well
All they would need to do have me buy their game is to make an actual historical game again. Not this bronze age fantasy sim.
WH40k, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, or even a real shot in the dark something like A Game of Thrones. Any of these could fit well with TW gameplay. I’d love to see a Shogun 3. It’s hard to play Shogun 2. It’s very outdated.
They need to keep their cashcow which is making total war for other franchises e.g. warhammer, star wars, power puff girls, whatever. But whilst this is going on and raking in the fat stacks they need to maintain a historical side that ACTUALLY DOES historical, not pseudo-historical with fantasy and MMO RPG elements bolted on awkwardly like some fucking mutant mengele experiment to 'appeal broadly' because it doesn't appeal broadly, it pisses everyone off because it's convoluted.
want med 3 but deep down we all now what it will become PEAK TOTAL WAR will NEVER be seen again
long live shogun 2 and med 2
Total war: lord of the rings
Total war: elder scrolls
Total war : star wars
Total war : world war
Total war : Cavemen
Total war : medevel 3
Total war : empire 2.
Total War Warhammer is absolutely awesome, if you are not playing it you are really missing out. But you are right some lately have been hit and misses. A really great 40K Total War on the same level as Warhammer Total War would be so awesome! We will see
NEWWWW ENGINEEEEE
NO MORE GAMES UNTIL YOU DEVELOPE A NEW ENGINEEEEE
They should make a Medieval game with a large scope...
And switch those cartoony models for the next one please...
Even though i haven’t played Empire, I want an Empire 2
TH-cam recommandeing me copium about total war was not on my bengo card .
Empire but with some huge changes to battle mechanics and sea battles
I understand it’s not plausible, but I really think that they should do a medieval three but also add in the political and intrigue in depth system of crusader Kings. I love total war and a huge fan but feel like this part has always been lacking to the depth. Crusader Kings goes and is something that I don’t think would be as hard to program in comparison to what they’ve already achieved.
Empire or Medieval!! This is only thing i want.
If we doesn't count Medieval 3 and Rome 3, i would vote for World War 1 total War.
We want a new gun powder total war game for heaves sake i am sick of seeing swords and stinking Warhammer total which i don't even play cus i HATE IT.
Empire hands down
I will only support 2 things from CA: Medieval 2 Remastered or CA Remastered. Anything else can go to hell.
CA Remastered costs 3 kidneys though and I only have 2. So you basically need 3 friends and you have to play on a rolling rota basis.
Fingers crossed 🤞
I would actually really dislike it if they made a Warhammer 40K game. It would not have the same feel of total war as we know it.
i hope they do total war arena 2 some day
medieval 2 complete remake quick win
People have been speculating on Empire 2, Medieval 3, Rome 3, and Shogun 3 for a decade.
CA does this to string you along hoping that you will buy the new stuff. Stop caring about a company who hasn't cared about you in a decade.
I'm more excited for fan made medieval 3 called project renaissance
I honestly wonder if there is anyone left in the company who understands what was good about early TW. Ever since TW Arena the battle maps have been cluttered with obstacles and seemingly converted to lanes in imitation of MOBA's.
Total War Pharaoh was really well received? That's news to me. CA will be absolutely shocked to hear it too given how they have lost their almost the entire budget of Pharaoh, no one buying it being "Troy 2 except it is not free on Epic".
Finish warhammer 3 DLCs get IND, KHURESH and NIPPON in it then get profits from it then create medieval 3 / Empire 2
Friendly reminder to not get your hopes up 🤷🏽♂️
why they don't make a total war title that include the whole world set in the Bronze Age or Ancient times or in the Medieval times , I am sick of those TW Titles that only cover 2 countrys .
3K did only had like 1/3 of china covered
Rome 3 or medieval 3. It's all we need
We got enough from the Warhammer universe. We need a SOLID historical title.
Empire 2 Total War
Shogun 3 Total War
Medieval 3 Total War
Rome 3 Total War
Attila 2 Total war
Or a new IP. Like American Civil War, WW1.
I watch 9 mins of this video and learnt nothing about any rumours of the new TW.
Nah man we need a Westeros total war with different time periods just like Medieval 2 did with the Britannia etc campaigns
Star Wars
WWI
Expanded Empire 2 with the entire world available
OR
Combine fantasy and historical with a Westeros game. They have everything they need from previous mods to do it and the HOD show plus the GOT spin offs will keep momentum and fandom high during the duration of the game
It is hard to make any game out of GOT that does it justice, it aint the same without extremely deep politics/diplomacy systems
The least they could do is what Microsoft has done with age of empires 2 and remaster medieval 2 properly. Not like the weak rome remaster
Pharaoh would be great if not for the twrrible graphics that they had in troy also. I hate the cartoonish look and the weapons are so disproportionate. Especially the bows, i miss the models and graphics that were always used like atilla and rome2. It looks much more realistic to me
This seems like the usual nothing burger of a video, almost as bad as Andy's Take.
Medieval 3 is best case scenario. I will settle for empire 2.
They need to bring back the old shogun 2 fighting animations and gore with their games i feel like that would be whats best. I mean these are all war games most people that play war games want to see all the bloody realistic carnage. Not that bs warhammer smack in the knee and his head pop off.
I have lost all faith and hope for total war, they don’t make fun games any more. I dislike fantasy and they don’t make real historical games. The last “total war” type games I have played and enjoyed is Manor loads and Mount and blade 2 banner lord. I know they are not real total games, but the battle system is great. What I love about banner lord is you are a character on the battlefield, commanding and fighting. I have played it for over 700 hours in a year, so I still find it fun.
Creative assembly needs to stop doing this garbage warhamer shit. Neck beards just keep encouraging them with endless money. All i want is a historical title so i can larp as my ancestors bruh😔
Star Wars, Medieval 2 or Empire 2. Anything else and the franchise is toast. And sadly, I wouldn't be surprised if they decided to just give everyone a bit "F you" released Warhammer 4
Im sooo done with thess fantasy games....can we get a proper historical Total war with innovation and a new engine first please
I just want a new Empire or Victorian Total War :(
Making a star wars game is absolutely a dumb decision. All the comments on everyone of these videos want Medieval3 or Empire 2. I dont think a Star Wars title would actually sell well at all, no one is asking for it at all and i have never seen a comment like "Star Wars TW oh man sweeet!!"
Medieval 3..listen to the people. Cash waiting
Nah man we need a Westeros total war with different time periods just like Medieval 2 did with the Britannia etc campaigns
Star Wars
WWI
Expanded Empire 2 with the entire world available
OR
Combine fantasy and historical with a Westeros game. They have everything they need from previous mods to do it and the HOD show plus the GOT spin offs will keep momentum and fandom high during the duration of the game
We DO NOT need another warhammer game
Seriously, it HAS to be Medieval 3.
I don't think they will be able to make a come back. They lost their souls and started making games for easy money.
Where my Rome 3 champions at?
GTA VII before Medieval 3 ?
We need new fantasy tw like warcraft total war
What is he talking about that is 30,000 pounds? I couldnt find anything online that expensive
Please be Star Wars please be Star Wars please be Star Wars 😂😂❤🎉🎉🎉
Im sure it will be Warhammer 40k
They need to remake medieva l 2
CA lost me the moment that Warhammer 1 came out. It's not the setting, although I admit I despise Games Workshop and everything they make or do, but the biggest problem is the engine. The fact that CA just uses the same shitty engine that just makes the battles feel like shit is the biggest problem.
Say what you want about the old engine from Medieval II, but at least the battles felt like, well, battles. Not some dumb health-bar measuring contest.
Total War Arena still going on Chinese
Ill take Westeros, Empire or Medieval
CA could find a way to work with Wētā Workshop to make a TW LOTR...everyone wants a TW game set in LOTR and Wētā Workshop could make even MORE cash out of since they have the rights to make games...so I see that as a fumble on both ends
Why LOTR when they already have Warhammer Fantasy, which is a cooler setting? And even if you think LOTR is cool, it is so similar to Warhammer fantasy in terms of units, that it would play the same.
@@MichaelDavis-mk4me literally all the old TW games play the same dude, I’d buy Lotr just because it’s lotr and that’s why they’d make alot of money off it because Lotr is too beloved.
@@sercravenmohead3631 LOTR has been eating rocks for the last 20 years. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it does not carry the same weight it once did. The LOTR universe isn't that fantastic, it was always the characters that made it stand out. Strip that out and just keep armies smashing each other, you'll have a bland Warhammer Fantasy unless you just start making lore to justify units and stuff, which the license holder will just laugh in your face and say no, because you are not Amazon.
@@MichaelDavis-mk4me That’s pretty much what the whole property does since Peter Jackson made the movies was not make 1 to 1 copy of the books, all the games are based off the movies more than anything like Battle for Middle Earth or Shadow of Mordor, there is plenty of content in the franchise that’s not canon at all really and Amazon makes Rings of Power which is basically poor fan fiction. When CA took on warhammer they were rolling the dice because not too long ago warhammer was very niche and not nearly as popular as today. If they did a good job on a lotr TW it could revitalize the franchise just like it did with warhammer fantasy which was at the time discontinued and shelved by Gamesworkshop. Warhammer TW is the most popular top played warhammer game on steam so why wouldn’t the holders of Lotr let CA do the same?
Idk man if you think it’s bland why would it bother you if you simply don’t play it?
@@sercravenmohead3631 I would play it, on heavy discount, most likely a year or more after. The reason I "bother" is because I'd rather CA make a game I'm actually hyped for.
Empire Total War 2!!!
I have negative interest in the fantasy games. I wish they would make a GOOD historical game.
They are throwing the warhammer 40k licence to anyone big and small. There are so many 40k games now its crazy. They used to be carefull with their IP, not anymore. Its all about the money baby
If it means more 40k content I have no issue with it. There will definitely be some misses but space marine 2 was great and hopefully we will see that continue on
Total War Arena. Just do it. Thanks.
