I genuinely don't take any offence to the above.

The job is so much more than that, as any Community Manager will tell you. Most of it isn't visible marketing or appearing in front of a camera....

Hi all,

I’m delighted to announce that we have a new addition to the staff here at CA towers, with a name that some of you might immediately recognise. Joining us as a design intern on Jack...

Hi guys,

The Longbeards Culture Pack is available now and we’ve released a new trailer to celebrate:

Hi guys,

Just thought I'd drop by to let you guys know we're running a poll where you can have your say on what you'd like the Total War New Content Team to work on next.

To take part, head on...

These assets are all currently used in ATTILA in one form or another, or they were used in ROME II, left in for modders to mess around with if they like.

Maybe we just really liked him for the same reasons you do?

Hi guys,

Thanks for the reports. If you're wanting dev eyes-on, best place for them is the official support forum, as I can guarantee you they will be looking at those.

Cheers,
Craig

Hey, I'd watch it!

But I think you're looking at this the wrong way - we're never shy of criticism, we've never told anyone what to say and we'd never try to "influence" reviewers. Honestly, we...

We're really pleased to announce that we have a new member of the community team starting here at CA in the next few days.

Darren, who may be better known to you as 'DarrenTotalWar' is already a...

Nope, still there. We'll have more on that soon.

Hi guys,

As you may have seen, we've posted a Game Guide for Total War: ATTILA over on the Official Forums.

I've included it in full here. You can also download the PDF over on the original...

Hi guys,

We're excited to say that a bunch of Total War: ATTILA previews have gone live today and we'll be sharing them on this thread! Make sure you keep checking back as we add in new ones.

Hi all,

Today’s the day we release the Black Sea Colonies Culture Pack DLC (plus FreeLC faction!).

By way of celebration we’ve released a new trailer for your enjoyment:

Hey guys,

We've pulled together a blog giving you some insider insight into Total War: ATTILA, courtesy of writer Peter Stewart.

Just thought I'd drop by and share. Enjoy!
...

Well the reason I didn't post directly is I didn't want to make a big deal of it. It wasn't supposed to be CA swooping down to make a grand gesture, it was meant as a genuine bit of on the side...

I really like tournaments, so it was my pleasure to help :)

We pay attention wherever our fans are talking about our games - we'd be really silly to not pay attention to what people say, whether...

All the animations in that trailer are in the game, the frequency varies and they are sometimes rare occurrences so you won’t see them all the time.

On the elephant animation in question, yes...

Soon!

We're investigating that at the moment - it wasn't anything we planned from this end.

I thought it was quite nice, to be honest :)

I don't know why people think they can't be nice to us too from time to time - we're only trying to help when we post info. Makes us happier to come...

You're right.

We are looking to constantly improve the game, and advances we make due to development on DLC and other titles are sometimes able to be transferred. Due to ongoing development on...

All of the above is underway and has been for some time. How do you think we got the Assembly Kit signed off? It's a case of building on what we're doing in the right way.

Exactly right:

1. We can't prove it
2. We can believe it
3. The more stuff we do with that belief (like the modding summit), the more proof will hopefully emerge

We're totally on the same...

Actually, there's tonnes of evidence of stuff that drives sales.

Some of you guys have totally got the wrong end of the stick here. I'm not sure what "steam statistics" are being referred to.

I did make an observation that modding value is easy to quantify by...

Hi guys,

I'd wait for the write-ups before jumping to any conclusions. Certainly it was a positive meeting as far as I could tell. Just having a conversation and sharing cool ideas with the...

Thanks for the comments about Rally Point, good and bad. Honestly, we just make the videos because we like to talk to people about Total War, because we're passionate about it. What you see is what...

We intend to open it up as much as possible through live chats, minute-by-minute updates and the wiki, and we haven't totally excluded the possibility of streaming, but it depends on what we can...

I'm here. As I put it on another thread:



Although I don't entirely agree with it, I understand why we're being called out personally - we're the visible faces of the studio and those who are...

We have no plans for Total War on console. The radial menu was something our designers were playing around with for PC. Nothing more than that.

End of story.

Of course this is fine, we don’t prevent modding. Fast work .mitch! The reason it crashes when you try to unlock other factions is that yes, the Seleucids have a bit of placeholder work done on...

At Creative Assembly we are very pleased with the response to ROME II, with hundreds of thousands of players enjoying the game so far; but we do know that, as with all large PC releases, the variety...

I'm posting this from the show floor at PAX right now (come by and say hi if you're around!), so apologies if this is brief. Just to reassure you a bit, the AI is an area we constantly look at and...

Hi all,

Just to let you know there's been a small update to the Assembly Kit to fix a couple of issues users have encountered since the tools were released.

You can find the patch notes on...

Hi all,

As you know, we've released mod tools, and intend to help out where we can with the most commonly asked community questions. Several questions have already been directly asked to myself...

There's a fair bit of misinformation flying around here. There's also some fact.

We'd like to hold a modding summit here at The Creative Assembly at the end of July. Maybe we'll hire a venue...

So, in the first episode of Rally Point, we mentioned that something new was coming from The Creative Assembly – something you’d not seen before - and we said we’d talk about it on May 18th.

Well,...

Hi guys,

If you're having problems starting Shogun 2 since the latest patch, here's what we recommend you try. We find this process resolves nearly all cases.

1. Run the Visual C++ redist...

Total War: The modding situation
