So, a new Roman Total War

[Daruwind]

I thought they had 3 projects of historical games being developed.
1. DLC for a Recent Total War.
2. Another Full Historical Total War Game.
3. The newly introduced Total War Sagas series.

I was just not counting the next historical game as that really far future and that game was on the drawboard long time ago. These other two projects are simply something not originally planned....

If you're reffering to the Total War Saga Announcement blog post, they've used backgrounds before and they've meant nothing, all just for looks.

You are right. We have no idea if blurry map is related to any of these projects. But one thing is usre. The map is not from Attila of any Attila´s current minicampaign. I checked all maps ingame. At the same time it is pretty much campaign map with Attila style graphics... :-)

Total War Sagas is supposed to be multiple games, they want it to be something similar to Attila's content (Amount of Units, Graphics etc.)

Right again. Multiple games. Or more likely in ten years we will see more of saga style games ...my thinking was more about if in case of success we will see more saga games for Rome 2 / Attila generation or if next will probably happenfor next historical game. This is of course just speculation. Empire has Napoleon (famous person expansion), Shogun has FotS (which would be now labeled Saga) and Rome 2 has again Attila (which is another person)

You keep saying this, this "makes more business sense" because more people are playing Rome 2, but you are missing a key thing I have pointed out repeatedly; the Roman era, from mid-Republic to ~Constantine or so, is WAY WAY more popular than the fall of Rome. People are playing the ERA more than the GAME, I think.

I read this to mean quite possibly a second grand campaign, just like they did for Rome 2, to breathe new life into Attila. Rome 2 was faltering like hell when they made the Imperium update, fixed quite a few things and brought some much needed life to the game. I think it makes much more business sense to attempt the same on Attila, rather than add a DLC for a game 5 years old.

I must admit this point of view is also interesting. Larger campaign pack for Attila and standalone for R2....but for now we simply dont have enough info.

Wanted to post this in case people didn't know about it.

It's some pre production art for the flash point/sagas game they're developing.

Totally Brad Pitt's Achilles from that awful Troy movie. The two female helmet designs look like Athena to me. Looks like we're getting a mythology-inspired Troy: Total War.

Looks to me like Arena is getting an update.

Problem with Troy is we have no idea how they fought. Seemingly with spears, but they weren't hoplites yet. Chariots probably, but no idea what kind of tactics were used with those chariots. Not the slightest clue of what the military structure of the time was. Or honestly even if there was a Trojan War, or possibly just Trojan Buncha Skirmishes and Siege.

I think Arena update art is more likely. Possibly art that was intended to be used, but was scrapped, and was thus allowed "leaked" to throw us off?
