The single campaign of 225 turns could be part of a planned obsolescense strategy. That is a way of boosting sales of future releases. It isn't as though the series continually builds on the previous release. They reinvented the wheel when they made RTW.

Planned obsolescence! Shogun: Total War is 6 years old now. It is obsolescent. So is Medieval. CA never planned them to be so. Time has taken its’ inevitable toll.

Games become obsolete plenty quick enough in the natural order of things.

I like maximum immersion and a challenge. I don't enjoy kiddie games, and I'm not a kid. I also like campaigns that take around 200-250 turns to complete, so I can try a different strategy next time, or a different faction.

We don't all enjoy the same things. There is no automatic equation saying that <500 turns = kiddie game for unsophisticated players.

That said, I understand that some people enjoy longer campaigns. It would be nice if the game design could somehow accomodate that, or at least allow modding for it.

Here, here!:2thumbsup:

Which is one of the reasons for the difficulty levels I would have thought. If somebody has the game won in under 50 turns I see that as a problem, however if the game is not won by 225 turns there should be the option to continue for as long as you like
