Any 'total war' fans out there?

Too much of an addictive game, always a case of "one more turn!"

next thing you know it's 3:30am :whistle:

not bad, but not brilliant.. i was expecting something more the way you go on about it....

yea but the thing about the total war games is that you almost get 2 games in 1. it's not just about the eye candy, that just helps get you into the battles more.

at the core, the game is still the same thing :)

Is there a modern-war equivalent of this game?

[Indiana_Jones]

Is there a modern-war equivalent of this game?

Not yet mate.

The next one in the series is going to be "Empire: Total War", set from 1700-1800

Plus in this one, you'll be able to command your naval battles (something you can't do now)

they've only released a few shots for this game and is due out next year

I also own Supreme Commander, not like Total war as it is old school RTS style, but fucking awesome!

Love the experimental units :D

Here's a review with some good screen shots.

Well after dealing with my flooded flat during the day on Friday, I finally sat down and got the game installed after heaps of hassles from the STEAM program, terrible program.

But got it going in the end and I must say it was worth the wait.

Huge map from previous titles, has got Europe, Middle east, India and America.

Great Tech research, Recruiting North America Indians into your Armies.

The land battles are very epicish in scope, lots of canons and musket smoke followed by the cling of swords and bayonets. I also enjoy how horses take second fiddle in this era :D

The long awaited naval battles are great to look at. Though I've only done and few (and got my arse handed to me lol) the detail is amazing, people running on deck and wood flying everywhere!

Only played it for a short time, but with a few patches I think this one is gonna be a classic :)

Highly recommended to any TW fan out there, if you're new to the series I suggest trying Rome or Medieval II first. Demo is on Steam if you wanna try.

-Indy

[Lias]

want to play like that aye?


opps ran out of time - i gotta go for a ride on my MOTORBIKE

You've got it all wrong.. Sell the motorbike and use the money for a better gaming PC!

[Lias]

*cough* "demo" *cough* of the latest Total War

My French Campaign in Empire: Total War is going along nicely, have just removed Great Britain and now intend to focus my attetion to the Americas

Perhaps declare war on the US.

-Indy

[Drunken Monkey]

There are some annoying little bugs with Empire still, mostly pathing issues. For some reason one of the Great Lakes crossings don't work, so I've got some of my army stranded on the Canadian frontier. The AI also doesn't know how to mount an assault via sea, so once you control a theatre, you can run with it virtually no garrison. Great to pump out troops to send to other theatres. It also means as Great Britain, you never have to worry about your home soil being attacked.
There are some great features though, and the interactive land battles are even better again. Sea battles leave a lot to be desired though...
I also like it how you can no longer just fund your army by sacking your way through the map, trade is very important. I also like it how you can now see what affects your diplomacy with other counties - it was always a mystery in the past.

Medievil 2/Kingdoms for me!


That expansion pack is bloody amazing - I hate to think how many hours have been spent on that ... brittania, crusades ect :crazy:

[Indiana_Jones]

Yea Empire still has some bugs at v1.5, but no where as bad as it was. Also the enemy uses naval invasions to some degree now lol.

And MTW2 Kingdoms is a wicked add on. one of the best.

Napoleon looks good, but I shall not buy on release. I shall save my money and get SH5 instead
