I've sunk a ton of time into the Total War franchise but they're never as good as I want them to be. It's hard to pick a favorite because every game has caveats and major downgrades from its predecessor. The battles have strongly trended towards a simplified arcade style and the campaign map is a grab-bag of random features they'll never use again (Troy's resource system is great).
What's your favorite Total War?
Pic is mine, my fifth rate got a broadside into the stern of a pirate galleon. I ended up winning that battle and capturing every ship less the one that exploded.
Did you play naval battles?
What changes would you like to see? What are your ideas for new games in the series?

P.S.
Medieval 1 is really good if you can get over how old it is.

i think my biggest gripe with the new games is the building system. i don't think the choices u have to make are interesting or meaningful, and the forced choice between economy and unit variety really just sucks.
i liked empire where buildings types just had independent slots, the choice was a more strategic question of when to build unit variety vs economy, not if.
also the navel battles were uniquely fun, and i wish warhammer had built out that aspect.
