Attila, like Rome 2, had a lot of flaws. It's not a terrible game, I'll give it that. There's no incentive to give a poo poo about the political.. system.. thing because if you do it well enough and gain a bunch of power, you still get hit with a bunch of factionwide debuffs and penalties, because why not. The food mechanics in Attila, like most mechanics, is not very intuitive or explained well. Each province needs to be self-sufficient food wise, because roads and carts and trade between neighbors within an empire wasn't invented I guess. You can have a 500 food surplus, but if one province is consuming 5 more food than it produces, it's a starving province. Then the best part is, a good chunk of the world will be unpopulated ruins because of the various hordes, which makes the painting the map part of the game extra boring. I'm very glad that CA made TW:W as good as it is because this was a poor showing. I'm glad I played it though weirdly enough. Maybe playing as a horde is funner than playing as a "normal" faction, but probably not.

So I assume the next historical total war is a number of years away since tww3 still has to come out, but is there any info on what the next historic title will be?

https://www.totalwar.com/blog/a-total-war-saga-announce-blog/quote:Today we’re thrilled to announce a new class of historical Total War game on PC. Released under a new badge, Total War Saga games will be standalone spin-off titles focusing on exciting pivotal moments in history rather than whole historical eras. quote:Jack: With our big releases that cover entire eras, like Rome or Empire, we’ve been following them up with standalone games that focus on a single character’s life and the time around them; like Napoleon or Attila. But there are also these key, pivotal points in history which don’t necessarily revolve around a single character, and only lasted a few months or few decades at most. Such moments also tend to be constrained to a tight geographic area as well. This sounds like a pretty good approach. Fall of the Samurai type stuff is probably my favourite among the historical games.

Nah, he says it will be a spin-off of Rome 2, similar to Attila. Moving the time period forward makes me intrigued about what sequence of events it will be centered around. "A moment in history we've not spent enough time with yet" makes me think it is not forward enough to be in the Medieval period, given that had two games already and would really be better off as its own game. The Rise of Islam seems too large a scope for what they're going with and I feel anything after Charlesmagne would fit square into Medieval territory instead of in relation to Rome 2. Any ideas, history buffs?Creative Assemply posted:

So it's - a period they've already done, but not exactly in this way - probably not centred around an individual - chronologically post-Attila, maybe post-Charlemagne, but still related to Rome 2 somehow

Might just be post-Rome instead of post-Attila, the wording is somewhat ambiguous.

Y'all fuckers know it's going to be Alexander. Their historical output for the last few years has just been remaking old CA games. Rome to Rome 2. Barbarian Invasion to Attila. Shogun to Shogun 2. If it's not Medieval 3, it's going to be Alexander. It's attached to Rome? Ok, what Rome expansion hasn't been ported yet. Which Rome expansion would be a rough sell at $60.

My guess is that it will be Alfred the Great - with the popularity of shows like Vikings and The Last Kingdom, they would do well to dip into that market while the iron is hot.

The concept art shared a while back looked like a viking, so combined with that map piece I'd bet it's some British Isles thing. Maybe a Groans of the Britons campaign, maybe Alfred the Great.

Maybe they picked "Saga" because the first one's Viking-related.

I could see it being the Viking invasion of the british isles, with the vikings using the horde mode at first to pillage and plunder.

Great Heathen Army as a horde would be awesome, and putting it on a map as detailed if not more than the one from the Kingdoms Brittania campaign would be awesome. Even get some northern France in there as well.

That dude's armor looking pop-romanesque makes me think more King Arthur/romano-britons vs saxons. Also, that'd be a good period to include "heroes" with skill trees like in Warhammer. Pseudo-mythical dudes with cool skills would be really fun, nothing as OTT as in TWW but the same system with scaled-back abilites.

My dream total war game is still the Taiping Rebellion. Imagine Fall of the Samurai on steroids, where one faction is led by a dude who thinks he is Jesus's brother and also the English are coming in with Opium War 2: Opium Harder and literally a third of the empire not under Taiping control is in open revolution. Maybe have some kind of mechanic to limit the amount of modern units (something like the Brettonian peasant mechanics) if you aren't playing a western power but it worked great in FotS, no reason it can't work on an even larger scale.

Beefeater1980 posted:That game had the best music. That game was a great first attempt at what eventually became Warhammer. It also made me realize the Total War fanbase is completely unable to learn anything new, because christ. The amount of bitching about the archers in that game ( whose sole difference is lightly armored units actually took full damage from them, while heavy armored units took 1/3rd of the damage from them. ie always have lightly armored units in skirmish/keep them as flankers. ) in giant blog posts that started with WELL, I'M A MASTER POSTER ON THE TWCENTER, AND OBVIOUSLY YOU CAN'T BALANCE THE GAME. THESE ARCHERS.. was absurd. And then they put out the archer patch, and those people came back and just played with the weaker archers, and suddenly as soon as they hit Camelot it was WELL, I'M A MASTER POSTER ON THE TWCENTER, AND ARCHERS ARE NOW USELESS ( they already didn't do much damage to everything but light infantry! The only reason they seemed so bad initially is because you start with a lot of light infantry and you didn't use any of the anti archer powers/heavier stuff until Camelot! ), AND MAGIC IS OP!!! ( magic does double damage to things with armor! IE BUILD DIVERSE ARMIES. ).
