The ending :no:

Total War endings are generally bad if you ask me, but on the contrary I think they're getting better, albeit quite slowly.

MTW had no ending. It just gave you a drawing saying 'you conquered the world, now go play a new game'.

RTW was a just one silly movie with music which kept looping.

At least M2TW gives SLIGHTLY different endings for each faction, and each one has its own narrative.

But yeah, after playing for HOURS on a campaign one would at least expect a 3-5 minute ending.

I agree, after a long campaign it would be nice just to have a few simple statistics and graphs like number of men killed, number of battles, biggest city, nations conquored/destroyed and maybe a small timeline of significant events

a short relive of the campaign, and being able to look up a game on a ladder and see a summary of achievements etc - just to remember.

definitely a nice to have, fixing gameplay issue has priority

i agree with Yunus Dogus, i mean after conquering them all we would deserve a nice movie or some stats dispalyed

To take thsi slightly off topic, wouldn't it be great to have a stats screen where it kept track of how many men you'd killed/lost against each faction?

It could then be autogenarated into graphs at the end.

I do like their little spy/assassin movies. A guy using a bush to get inside the town? Now thats Benny Hill style silliness. And the assassin with the snake? When the snake decides he isnt gonna attack? Or how about when the guy walks into the room and hits the assassin with the door? Now thats some funny stuff. I think I'd rather see lots more of those things than one big dramatic movie at the end but thats just me. :

I think the movies are great too. However, I accidentally disabled the spy movies, anyone know how to re-enable it?

Been some time since I played, but there's probably a 'Show this type of movie' option in-game. You could also open the .cfg file in the main folder I think, and look for a line that resembles this and change the value to 1.

Hopefully in the expansion or something they will provide better movies?

Next time you got a report that a spy has completed mission or some such, on that report page there's the check box to show the movie again.

Yes that would be excellent. # of men lost and killed, cities taken, distance traveled, units trained, units destroyed units lost etc.

**Fookison** · 02-14-2007, 07:44

I agree with the stats. concept, I would also like to see some sort of calculated score at the end of the game. Like in the Civ series, it would be good to have a value for your efforts. With increased scores based on certain criteria of gameplay or skill in battle etc.....

**Dave1984** · 02-14-2007, 08:56

What'd also be great is a sort of timeline overview of your faction. I've been playing EUIII alot recently and the timeline at the end of a game, organised chronologically by the reigns of monarchs, is definitely a feature that would have been great, especially if it could display details of major battles as well.
