Typical of CA now, "people don't use them enough to warrant us actually putting the effort in and refining them". It should be there as a matter of completion, instead it's another "oh armies can now...

There's a reason this forum is a "bastion for cynicism" considering a lot of us were (and still are) banned from the official Total War forums after CA told us to collectively go :wub: ourselves...

They had a chance to do something special after Fall of the Samurai. I told a close friend of mine that FotS was essentially a proof-of-concept for a 1814-1914 Total War which would use the modern...

You should really have cancelled your pre-order after they announced the Chaos DLC (of course I would urge you to never pre-order at all as it damages the games industry at large)

OP if you continue to pre-order video games, not just in a Total War context but in the wider context of the entire games industry, then I can only declare you to be against all that I stand for

First thing I noticed when I saw videos of Warhammer battles, it's Rome 2 all over again

Mercia will be in there as will Northumbria

I did say that I would break my Attila-abstention if we'd get an Early Medieval expansion or equivalent mod. So CA have my attention with this expansion

Serves you right for pre-ordering, come on guys

Sad truth is this doesn't even shock me anymore, the longer this keeps going on the more I'll likely not purchase another Total War title again. I think the biggest issue for me is, just like Greek...

Pre-order DLCs are a big no-no (especially when the base game is 49.99!). I feel the CA of old will never return

I took one look at those banners on the battle UI and singlehandedly decided not to get Attila because of it. If CA cannot listen to the community in regards to fixing things with the UI but then...

DLC is fine if it's brand new unique content that adds to the base game but doesn't HAVE to be there for the base game to be complete.
Examples of CA failing this is the Celtic DLC for Attila...

Wasn't the one I asked for

In hindsight it's hilarious to go back and look at all these petty complaints about Rome 2 before its release. In the grand scheme of things an inaccurately portrayed Cleopatra was the least of our...

I'd say it's a Gold edition, if not then it's more likely to be porting some of Attila's features into Rome 2 (CA will like to do as little work as possible for Rome 2 at this stage). I'd still like...

This is a great example of how mods can actually sell a game, I promised I would NEVER buy a piece of Rome 2 DLC. And yet I really want to play this campaign, see CA it is worth supporting

You know it's been a LONG time since I played Warhammer on the tabletop. I played Fantasy and a lot of my contemporaries were very happy that it was different enough from 40k. So I come on here and...

I'm expecting nothing but dumbed down streamlining, a large marketing budget, DLC out the arse and CA completely ignoring the community after learning zero from the last 2 years.


On second...

Well, Empire (the faction) is the closest yet to an actual Pike and Shot Total War. Someone please make a ECW or 30 Years War mod for it

We can only hope the TWC acquisitions push Total War back to where it should be, either that or they'll be assimilated into CA's way of thinking. Probably the latter

Whilst I'm sure this is true for the majority of cases I'd like to point out me and 3 of my buddies who are all Total War "diehards" swore to not buy it after Rome 2's fiasco, which is a shame...

You know I tire of arguing with you "2013"s so I'm just going to go back to ignoring you

Ignorance is not an excuse

Best case scenario, all the old devs leave CA, start a new company and get their funding via Kickstarter or something. Free from marketing drivel, bad corporate practices and they get to make the...

How about not being selectively facetious and ignoring hyperbole.


Now if they had full access to mod tools....

The CA apologists are out in force

This is less to do with the proximity to the games release but the suspicious absence of Celtic nations who were given German placeholders in a rather lazy attempt to atleast give them a presence....

Expecting anything that would benefit the community from CA these days is just asking for trouble. No; expect quick cash-grabs that insult the intelligence of the established fanbase. I'd like to say...

Wow, just... wow. I was going to get Attila eventually when it was dirt cheap but now I'm not going to even bother. This is DLC whoring at its worse and it is destroying CA from inside out. Put Total...

Just finished. I felt like I should just clarify my position on CA. I feel the Total War brand as it is has no trust behind it, Total War used to mean quality strategy games. Now it means simplified...

Can't quite believe the audacity to release DLC this soon from release. CA isn't even trying to hide the fact that it should have been and could have been in the game from the start but made a...

Can someone from CA explain why, after all the issues in Rome 2 they thought the torches would change when implemented in exactly the same way in Attila? Regardless atleast they are gone now, guess...

How about DLCs that have actual high quality content in and not just a quick cash grab. (I'd prefer no DLCs but we have to be realistic)

I don't think so, FotS was building towards a Victoria Total War and I think there would still be appeals from the suits for a Med 3 (guaranteed money maker). Add to that I think we'll get a...

Still waiting....

I have to say, if this is true, I'm looking forward to it. However a new game engine is an absolute must for it. As with all Total Wars post-Rome 2 I will not be pre-ordering no matter how good it...

Hardcoded, just like every other unlikeable aspect of Rome 2. If CA would just let us edit and mod these aspects then Rome 2 would be the best game in the series. No more armies limited to generals,...

I do like the idea of most traits being good and bad. I still greatly dislike the 3-trait limit that's been imposed since Shogun 2 in Total War. What person has only 3 aspects of their personality? I...

Not often, I most recently did it in a battle where I had 3 armies reinforcing and it became a bit of a cluster:wub: so I just had to stop and see what was up

Playing as Bactria I figured I'd clean up some of my northern borders and get rid of the nomads there. Saka Rauka only had 3 provinces so I figured they couldn't be too powerful. Cue 3 full stacks of...
