Hi Guys,

A little new to these forums. Hoping people here are a little more mature than some other forums for Total War the I frequent...

Information is sparse on the ground with regard to the part that the AU and UK studios played in the development of each CA Total War game.
I found the information below but assume the Australian Studio only had a small part to play in RTW development.
I am hoping that somebody with long history here and a good memory can confirm if the Australian Studio really did have a major part in any of the Total War games.

Edit: Sorry it won't let me post the source URL.

I thought they pretty much did all of M2TW. Perhaps some of the team had worked on RTW with the English studio?

It's my understanding that they were the main studio for Medieval 2 with CA UK doing Rome and Empire.

Thankyou. I assume shogun and medieval were before CA Australias time.
I'd assume that the main talent is in the UK and that Australia works on titles with a pre-existing engine.
Question answered I think.

Aus had some part in the original Medieval iirc in the credits it talked about thanking some aussie uni for running round screaming to make battle noises :D
