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.

It sucks that the ancient Egypt game they released is mostly a shitpost and that the series is probably dead
I always wanted a Bronze Age game but on the scale of a full entry

Have you played Pharaoh since they added a bunch of shit and dropped the price? It's pretty solid and I was a big fan of the new mechanics they added like lethality, obviously it's no Warhammer or Rome 2 but I still got like 60 hours out of it.

Haven't played it yet but I want to at some point. I like the idea of the setting escalating into the Bronze Age collapse. I'm also one of those weirdos who likes Attila.

Attila was peak. Every other game basically starts out with every faction on equal footing, which is arcady as heck.
