Total War thread: What's your favorite Total War and when did the series frick up? :marseycrusader: :marseyredcoat: :marseymarmotroman: :marseygladiator: :capypharaoh:

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 bought Shogun 2 on sale and was excited to finally try a TW game, until I realized I forgot to check if it's even playable on my steam deck. It's not. :marseycontemplatesuicide:

Bluetooth mouse and keyboard, with an HDMI out from a dock station to living room TV. That's how I play Stellaris at home. BIPOC.
