When do you all think Troy will be released? I confess I lost interest when it was revealed there will be superheroes with overpowered legendary items, etc. So I need to project ahead when the next...

CA's plans for 3K as of mid-September:

Quick question: was there fantasy in the Brad Pitt Troy movie? Superheroes killing hundreds? Monsters and magic? My guess is that CA sticks to the movie as guide rails for its version.

What was it that led you to that conclusion, specifically?

I've been gaming at 4K resolution on an OLED panel so I don't get especially good frames, 30s and 40s FPS with extreme units and almost all settings maxed. i5-7600 @4.5 ghz + 16 GB GSkill RAM 2933 +...

Just picked this up in Steam summer sale. Any thoughts post patch 1.5?

As I write this it's midnight in Europe and 5-6 a.m. Monday morning in China and there are 33,000 folks playing 3K according to Steamcharts.

The problem with comparing "old players" to now is that people move onto other pursuits, other platforms, they get old, have children, etc. The Steamcharts numbers are very high with this game and...

110% Records and looking forward to historical mods.

F1 command brings up a contextual menu. But it's going to take a while to get familiar with menus and how systems work.

i usually start with cosmetic mods. Hows your current campaign going?

The thing about forced march is it isn't, it's called march. I think the best way to handle this is to continue to allow the army in march stance to retreat, but make it a shorter distance than...

I'm not as stuck on the older games as some veterans, meaning I play the newer games, mostly the reformed and modified TWR2 and Attila + DLC. I am strictly a historical fan though, so I've had...

I'm finding the white labels for towns to be pretty distracting. It forces me to use mouse wheel or rotate keys just to see what's going on around or behind labels.

There are other issues with...

So true. Retinues just don't make it interesting imo and heroes are a sad joke. I'm hoping CA goes to the 19th Century next and introduces a new system allowing us to manage armies in the tens of...

The diplomacy system alone makes this game a big step forward for Total War. It's very fluid, worth engaging on almost every turn. I just wish there was a way to link the warlord's name to their...

Well 3K is getting good reviews so far,:) however some well established YouTubers have been critical of the battles. Main complaints are the AI is still pretty stupid, lack of preset formations, and...

Right, LL are effing easy to make and new factions aren't in WH. So you're getting LL packs or whatever they call it because it's a lot less effort. For many reasons, about 1.4 billion of them, CA...

1.) Maybe the WH "fandom" isn't as commercially compelling a prospect as some would have it. 3.) Maybe the devs aren't interested in making WH DLC forever and have newer, better ideas they want to...

This is better, smaller than I'd hoped for, but an improvement. For some reason however, the battles still seem small to my eyes. The AI still seems pretty dumb too. Someone was joking that CA was...

This gameplay reveal was really disappointing.

1.) Now that I've seen two town battles, the maps seem more MOBA-like than any I've seen before in TW -- a network of huge passageways separated by...

As you know Sega is a publicly traded company listed in Japan. Japanese shareholder culture is different than U.S. or European shareholder culture in that there's not as much pressure for short-term...

Perhaps, but there's nothing new or interesting in the battles except the duels? Now I wouldn't know Dynasty Warriors from Fortnight, but TW3K unit sizes are comically small for a Total War game....

Well if all they work on are animations and lighting it's still going to be a massive disappointment. Consider the braindead AI that Darren focused on. The unit cards. Small unit sizes.The arrow...

Imagine a 70 unit per side battle. You group your units into three battle groups during deployment phase, and give them basic orders, plus one group of reserves. Then you assume command of one of...

Watching the video

CA is clear that inspiration for character models, overall style was contemporary -- anything from "pop culture, cinema, tv shows...other games" :laughter: CA is also selling...

Nothing about the Records version yet. I'm beginning to think it's a practical joke.

These battles just seem boring and buggy with weird looking animations/interactions. Small armies, small...

I usually try to come up with my own personal GOTY (game of the year), and now looking back, I'm not sure I played anything released this year except for ToB, Rise of Rome (DLC) and Red Dead 2....

Funny how a discussion about future historical settings turned into something about how many copies Warhammer sold, how great fantasy is and how it's actually the future, and if you don't like it...

History has always been a thing for me, since early childhood. Computer games looked like crap until the early 2000s, whereas board games didn't. So that's how I got my historical fixes until the...

I like the idea of SAGA but SAGA's postion in relation to Main Titles is cause for concern. SAGA may end up as the dusty shelf at the back of the store where they put the history fans.

Presumably her inclusion is about mass market appeal. There are lots of female fighting heroes in Dynasty Warriors, right? So she should help sell games and attract new customers provided they don't...

Isn't this an obvious candidates for 3K-related premium DLC campaign, or even a stand alone expansion? I don't see SAGA as connected to their historical flagship game of the moment (or am I wrong...

We've had much of this in previous titles, e.g. lots of diplomatic options in Empire: Total War. The million dollar question is -- will it actually work this time? A deeper game is welcome of...

The Gamescon 2018 graphics for Bannerlord would have gotten me stoked for this game...back in 2013. :hmm:

I admire your stance. Here's some other reasonable perspectives:

Yes please read below for context. We are talking about whether Romance mode, based on RotK novel, is fantasy or romance. I'm arguing that CA's "Romance mode" has fantastic elements that appeal to...

I guess you all didn't see the battles CA showed at E3 and Gamescon then? I saw heroes shooting sparks, martial arts fighting and slaying dozens in rapid succession.

After years of HATING consoles, I finally gave in last month and bought a PS4 Pro. Been playing Uncharted 4, Last of Us Remastered, Bloodborne, and will be playing RDR 2 tomorrow. There's a few...
