    In an effort to find out what the community thinks about on the TW series, Creative Assembly has launched a massive (and i do mean massive) survey based on their game series. The questions cover just about everything you can imagine, from the type of PC you have to the future course you'd want to see CA chart. Be warned the survey is a little on the long side, so make sure you've got some free time before starting.

    As an added bonus (unfortunately, only available to those in US, UK, France and Germany) participants are eligable to win one of three Intel® Core™ i5-750 Processors! Even if you're not in one of those countries, if you've got a half hour to kill head over to the offical thread on the .com and take the survey! You might be glad you did.



    Thanks Swoosh So!

    If you've been following Shogun 2 (that is, following it with a magnifying glass) you might've heard that something was cooking for gamescom this year, but no one was really sure what. Last night, Creative Assembly put on a 16 minute demonstration of the game, including a trailer and not seen before "alpha stage" gameplay footage. Included were first looks at general speeches and actual ...

    (a big thank you to CA's Photoshop artist Mark for creating this stunning image for us )


    Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to welcome you all to the .Org's Shogun 2: Total War Desktop Background competition!


    What's this about?


    The aim of the competition is simple: create a desktop background for Shogun II: Total War!


    Why would I do that ?


    Aha, for our fantastic prize of course!


    The good people of the Creative Assembly have promised a signed copy of Napoleon : Total War - Imperial Edition


    Talk about a collector's item, eh


    I want the prize! How much time do I have to make the most brilliant wallpaper ever and to destroy the competition?


    You'll get four weeks from now on to work on your submission. Everybody is allowed to participate!


    The submission thread is right HERE.


    But, but, but, the submission thread is still closed.


    Patience, young padawan. The thread will be opened on Monday August 16th, the official kick-off date of this contest.


    I'm the greatest! I don't need no competition! Hand me over that prize already!


    No, you're just being lazy. Create a stunning wallpaper, now


    Who do I have to bribe?


    Once the submission period is over, we'll create a poll that will run for about a week.


    After the poll is closed, the infallible and unbribable jury consisting of three CA members, namely :


    - Lead Artist for Total War, Kevin McDowell,

    - PR and Online Manager Mark O’Connell and

    - the famous, one and only Craig Laycock (marketing) who was so kind to help us with the organisation of this event. Thank you very much, good sir!

    will pick the winner out of the five submissions that came out first in the poll.

    As soon as these wise men have taken their decision, the winner will be announced and be put in contact with CA.

    All that's left for me now, is to wish you all the best of luck


    You can view the origin thread in it's entirety here.

    I'm not much for social networking but hey, if you're a company like CA it's obviously a very smart thing to do since it provides an easy way to network with fans (aside from forums of course! ). So if you're into facebook or Twitter and you love Total War, why not become a fan or follow them?

    You can find CA's facebook page here, and their twitter here.

    Dojo II is our Shogun 2 forum, and the name was always meant as a temp or place-holder until we found a better one. Since we at the .Org are lazy slobs community minded individuals, we believe letting our members decide on the name is the best course of action (As seems to be tradition when new TW games come out). SO!

    If you're feeling up to it, head over to the official thread and ...

    We at the .Org love to game, and the passion for which extends far beyond both the total war series and gaming in general to host a number of forum sponsered games. These normally take the form of Interactive Histories, Mafia games, or TWRPGs. A few that have caught my eye in the last week:

    Cecil XIX is looking for recruits for Vassals and Valour, a Total War RPG where players take ...

That's why when i was forwarded this news story i knew it was something worth sharing.
