I love the Total War Series. I’ve been playing all way backsince Shogun 1, and I’ve been addicted ever since. I love the fact the gamesare based in reality. Over the years I must have logged thousands of hoursplaying the various flavours. But with Warhammer I’m conflicted. I’ve neverbeen at all interested in the fantasy or magic genre. I thought the Lord ofRings was shite, Game of Thrones is massively overrated and my memories ofWarhammer was always one of spotty school-boys who couldn’t get laid. Plus, thefact that with the other games you can tell that loads of research had to bedone to make sure each era came across as well as can be. With Warhammer, it’sjust fiction, and if there is research, it was probably done by an intern on hislunch-break. But… I love Total War games. I love the mechanics, the strategy, andthe huge battles. Plus apparently there is a new engine (woo! Shiny shiny!). Sois it going to be more fantasy nonsense?
“I shall smite thee with the Sword of Bo-llocks!”
“Nay, for I have the Shield of Arse-Gravy!”
Or…
Irrespective of the made-up nonsense, there’s a great gamehere and I should just shut up and play the game? What do you think?
