I made an honest mistake and apologized more than once..... you insult me and call me names because I have a different opinion and disagree with my points, none of my points are invalid either btw, they're all opinions based on what I've seen.
cool story kid... end of story though
honest or not, it was stupid and given that you kinda build your narrativ about that you couldn't navigate this forum, adds to the delusions you suffer.
And I only call you one name, meanwhile you call people who like Warhammer and TW WH "neckbeards" in the 2nd post. But then again one needs to be a "neckbeard nerd" in order to navigate this forum to post in the right spot... apparently.
All the while never even attempt to defend your opinions against the simple points that were raised.
And lets be clear here: 3K being a historcial game isn't an opinion or not. Nor the fact that you discount ToB and Attilia for that matter, in order to make your BS point.
So yeah "kid"... you sad story ending is for the better.
Rome 2 was still getting content last year. Moreover as a thirty something cleaning my apartment I found a dusty CD jacket with all three Rome Total war CDs. Those were the days, before steam. You had to switch out the cds to install the game. In fact I think I have Warhammer models as old as those CDs.
Point being the two can coexist.
Furthermore Troy and Three Kingdoms are historical titles based on events that actually happened. Creative retellings of stories are often the basis of historical understanding, and embracing the Iliad or Romance of the Three Kingdoms and their larger than life depictions of people and events doesn’t make them any less historical.
The race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong but those are the ways to bet.
I don't claim to be the biggest TW guy ever, but I've played TW since Rome 1, and I feel a bit miffed at this notion of "the warhammer nerds invaded our TW". Dude, we were always here.
The inferior races of this world will be crushed one by one, as our armies move from shore to shore, and hill to hill, and city to city-- and each of their cries will be as music to our ears, for we are the Druchii.
Something I haven't seen pointed out, WH1, 2 and 3 have a number of big changes in setting, factions and characters. Rome 1, 2 and 3 have the exact same setting, they have the same limit of characters and faction choices, only thing they can expand upon is new research and better performance allowing more details. Of course that requires waiting for the research to be published and the improvements in tech to spread. So yeah there should be quite a few fantasy titles before R3 and I'm someone who isn't personally interested in the fantasy titles.
MODS PLEASE MOVE INTO GENERAL SECTION, I POSTED IN THE WRONG PLACE.... most definitely the wrong place
That title alone says it all, it's a harsh reality check really....
So we got Warhammer 1 through the upcoming 3rd, all fantasy and 3kingdoms a semi-fantasy title..... I understand Fantasy is their money maker now, I get that..... but they are literally stepping away from what made them great as a studio, they've sold out the people who supported them in the beginning. Most of these Warhammer fans came over to Total War from the Fantasy Field in recent years, they weren't there from the beginning in the early 2000's, they didn't help build up a small studio into multiple studios worldwide....
I will say it is a shrewd and smart business decision I admit, because us fans who have been there since early 2000's, we've all gotten older and have lost interest in video gaming in general at our age, so it's not like us mid 30's and 40+ year old guys are gonna rush out to buy all the games and all the DLC the way these Warhammer youngins are doing... They needed fresh fans, younger fans, or lifetime fans like you get with those fantasy role playing card games, so with Warhammer they've hit a homerun.... I get all of that...
But it's still a sad state of affairs when you turn your back on what made you great in the first place
They did this a long time ago to the original tw fans up to empire tw . I bought rome 2 wish i had not but have not played since. Rome 2 was to me a fantasy game already dependent on magic spells like push this button to make your guys do so and so. I have know taken up other historic strategy games. The irony is the only reason i pop in once in awhile is to see if they do my ultimate fantasy game, Lord of the Rings, that and that alone is what could cause me to buy a tw game. The historical titles are to fantasy already in their game play.
Well a medieval 3 if it was maddabel like the old days I would get as well.
There are 11 years between Shogun and Shogun 2, 9 years between Rome and Rome 2. It has been 13 years since Medieval 2.
I'm not seeing any real slowdown that came about because of Warhammer. I've been waiting for Medieval 3 for quite a while now.
I'll second 3K being a fantasy title though. It may be "historical fiction" but it's still fiction, and even records mode doesn't change that the game is based around characters from a literary work, not countries in a historical setting. They spent way too much time on differentiating the characters, instead of the factions.
I dont care if they want to do a fantasy game once every 2 or 3 years. But what annoys me a lot is that they're bringing fantasy and fiction into historical titles. First Three Kingdoms and now Troy. Historical needs to be 100% historical not mixed with fairy tales.
Comments
I'm dead serious dudes, installing right now actually....
What's the most realistic approach to the game ? I mean a faction with real men and no monsters, etc.....

I fully support Dogs of War and Kislev for DLC.

Have a good day.
