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.

Medieval 2. Haven't played much of the other ones except Rome 1 some 20 years ago.
I really like the combat system in Medieval where units behave in a more natural way, compared to the 1v1 simplified nature of the future games. Despite it's occasional clunkiness (so many soldiers stuck on ladders) it's so much fun to zoom in and see soldiers fight.
