I love how the Total War genre really has so much potential. It could be the ultimate of Strategy games if it could truly encorporate all means and facets to run an empire. In typical Total War fashion it would allow for a new player to not feel overwhelmed with the complexity of what lies under the surface of the game, but also incredibly enjoyable for those who care to look further under the surface.
