Re: General TW Discussion
I find this rather problematic - the whole split up of teams between TW main team historical, TW fantasy main team, Saga teams, DLC teams... at some point, unless you have an enormous amount of developers, it's going to be disjointed. Look at Cyberpuk 2077. Huge hype, huge budget, a ton of bugs.
It doesn't look particularly fond for historical TW in the future. It's becoming a second thought.
Re: General TW Discussion
There has been no historical game information since last year, when they mentioned that a new title is "under development". Ever since then, radio silence.
It's been almost a year if not more ever since we got information. I'm quite deflated over here, no information and no nothing about historical games.
Gah.

Been to:
Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.
A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?
Re: General TW Discussion
That's a real shame too. I still replay Shogun 2, Atilla, and Thrones of Britannia from time to time but Paradox games have been fulfilling my strategy game love for the most part though the combat system of Total War games still brings me back for my favorites from time to time.Originally Posted by Xantan
Never tried a Total War fantasy game as that's what my RPGs are for though of course those aren't strategy in the slightest.

Four stage strategy from Yes, Minister:
Stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
Stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we can do.
Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.
Re: General TW Discussion
As I have no interest in Warhammer, there will be no fantasy TW for me. I guess I'll stick to the older titles, thankfully they have plenty of replayability + mods.

Re: General TW Discussion
It's real shame if they stick with fantasy like WH. I'd love for them to redo Napoleon TW as I've never been able to get it to work with Steam and it's one of the most interesting periods for military tactics/strategy.
The older titles certainly have lots of replay ability though I've not tried any mods since the first MTW and RTW!
I guess the trend toward 'mobile gaming' has really hurt us PC gamers. I've seen the same issue with my favorite simulators, there's only the most hardcore accurate or total arcade style like World of Warships or World of Tanks. Would love a new Silent Hunter for the Pacific theater and really miss the "Jane's" series of military games.

Re: General TW Discussion
Hah, Jane's. I used to have USNF 97 and it was an absolute dream back in 1998/1999/2000. I still have the original manual with me, it's literally a textbook that can be used in a military college - that detailed and descriptive.
As for our beloved series, we just have to wait and see. But it's clear to me that the best days of the series have been experienced already.

Re: General TW Discussion
We're near to 2023, and with the teams working on a future historical title, I expect that in 2023 we get a new announcement of the future game and in 2024 we see a launch.

Excited to see what it will be!
