Battle of the Samurai!

[DeliCiousTZM]

This battle is made in Skyrim. I hope that CA can see the potential of working closely with Bethesda i think that if Total war found a way to merge their game play with that of Skyrim, we would have a game play experience unrepresented in the whole world.

I'm kinda spoiled with CA's TW games, the whole magic thing thing thrown in really isn't my thing either.

Looking at this video you can see how much work CA puts into their animations and unit realism.
I hope they don't follow in Bethesda's footprints, just my opinion. It would quickly diminish the reputation and quality of their TW series.

[Erwin Rommel]

Ugh.

They are still using that crap ass akaviri armor for samurai? Dafuq man, still there is no decent do-maru and kabuto mod? Sigh.

[Robin de Bodemloze]

Meh. Leave this magic rubbish out of TW.

[DeliCiousTZM]

I'm refering to the FPS perspective. And it would be great if CA could make a Total war game for Tamriel, merged with the Elder scroll fps perspective, and vice versa.

M&B is suitable for this. It's all FPS: strategic management is done by personally giving troops/instructions to lords of questionable loyalty and companions (trusted but few), and tactical control is done before and during battles, using very simple commands, which is much more like in real-world ancient battle, than the total control from sky in TW or other RTS games.

Unlike in TW games you cannot do complex manuver such as asking 10 units to march in 10 different directions. Usually you have two or three groups of soliders in line or square, holding in position or charge toward single direction, and then you personally lead a small group of elite soliders for manuver and decisive charge.


And it's entirely scriptable, though there is no mod that can match TW games in terms of strategic complexity, and the numbers of soldiers are limited to hundreds, rather than thousands or tens of thousands.

You're free to implement a new mod for that!

Thats what im trying to say ^^ CA could do it, none of us can mod that alone and make a high quality product.

I wanna expand it a little bit(bare with me) CA are the only one that can deliver that epic sci fy/fantasy experience. What are CA games if not epic interactive cinematic experiences?

1:05-2:00 Imagine if we could have that... It is 2013 we can do it!

[rekishiotaku]

Not sure what the point was. You mean CA should make a fantasy strategy game? Fantasy isn't my thing, if it was I'd be playing WOW and D&D not Civilization, Total War, and Victoria. History games like Civilization have already gone town with their whole cartoony, fantasy/completely non-historical character designs, I wouldn't want to see CA move in that direction and leave the history nerds with nothing. And besides there's way more fantasy games out there.

The video was kinda' funny, with the whole Japanese have nothing to do with the subtitles, and the typical obviously-Western pseudo-Oriental pan-Asian armor.

[Rijul.J.Ballal]

I would like it we had the option of fighting one on one like in mount and blade...

[AnsarHolyWarrior]

magic in a total war game not a good idea

[Gnufan]

Didn't CA get their hands on the Warhammer Fantasy license just recently? Might see a total war in that universe. There is already a mod for medieval 2 if I'm not mistaken.

[DeliCiousTZM]

Yeah CA has done this before and im sure they are eager to move back to a sci fi setted total war game. If anyone remember the disaster that was Stormrise?

Skyrim need a large scale war with total war sized, not just big group of 20-30 men lol

btw video is great the fighting in that iceland look perfect, bad thing Skyrim does not have anything like that just yet

Don't be narrowed-mind, why not? if its look good... they might even start working with THQ to make Warhammer in future.

[TheCrazyCat]

meh, hate how theres always a good bunch who chooses to be stupid about some sort of stuff and complain about it, "WAH MAGIC", "WAH FANTASY"

CA will need to use different material sooner or later, cant keep milking the same old time periods, and theres just a finite amount of Wars that can be considered worth making a game about.

[Altimis]

They need to NOW

because after Rome 2, "CA annoucement Medieval 3 is next!"

Me: What.... the ahhh ok its good to see Med 3 again, never bored to play Med age again but.. can't you just think out of the box rather than remake the old series again and again?
Med Fanboy: YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Med Hater: Go to hell CA, why Med again, I hate Med
Rome Fanboy: WHY NOT ROME 3!?
Rome Hater: make Rome 3 !
Shogun Fanboy: the Med 3, Go for Shogun 3! trust me, its will million sold
Shogun Hater: that, if you not make Med 3 I will boycot CA product from now on

You see what I try to say here? lol Med 3? Rome 3 [again]? Shogun 3 again perhaps? lol

[Derp Le Joker]

Napoleon or empire 2 would be next I would presume
