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.

If we're wishing for things then I'd like a larger Bronze Age game than just Pharaoh and Troy
On the other end of the scale I'd like another 18th or 19th century game but with the whole world this time 
A global medieval game maybe themed on the Mongols would also be great 
Would also be interesting if they had IPs to work with besides Warhammer. Total War Elder Scrolls would frick hard
