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 Rome 1 was really the peak. All the core features were there and rock solid, it was ahead of its time. The ai sucked but it was a massive leap forward from previous entries.
Fast forward to Rome/Shogun 2 and while the graphics were much better it felt like a lot of the campaign map features were overcomplicated. Did the game really need three kinds of diplomat? Similarly the new battle features were poorly done. Ambushes were rare and lost their novelty immediately. The less said about naval the better.
Never had the interest for Warhammer so it's been a while, the Rome 1 remaster looks interesting though.

It didn't need one, agents were always bad.
