New game announced - Total War: WARHAMMER

[fester]

I dont have a problem with CA making this or other fantasy titles. I do think if it becomes there main focus it will be a mistake. Total wars foundations going back to the late nineties is a historicly based battle sim. When dragons and wizards replace spearmen and archers its just not Total war.

nah. total war is the game style, and has always been adaptable to the theme.

i appreciate that TW would be different if they abandoned the historical time periods, but we're not there (yet)

A lot of people felt that way when Empire came out - traditional TW starts to drag once you introduce firearms, but a lot of other people liked ETW and NTW (I skipped them).

...for me the best would be set in Steven Erickson`s Malazan series......

Pretty damn amusing there's been no post in this forum in a month. I feel about this excited about Warhammer myself.
