I must say, I really did not like Three Kingdoms at all. It feels fantasy-ish to me. The only Total War games I thoroughly enjoyed are Empire, Napoleon and Shogun 2 Total War. I like Rome II and Attila too. But I didn't play them as much. Also I find the campaign very difficult of those two games (yes, that is a personal issue). Eventually, I'll learn how to play these games better. I have never and will never touch the Warhammer games as I think Total War needs to stay in the historical zone. I agree that after Attila the games went backwards by a lot. The gameplay of Three Kingdoms is not at all fun (to me), and it seems they are going the same route with Pharaoh. Empire, Napoleon and Shogun 2 looked gritty. Three Kingdoms, Pharaoh and Warhammer looks like it is made for people less than 16 years old (no offense). It just doesn't look that brutal. Day by day I feel Total War is losing their identity.
They messed up Napoleon Total War and I received an email from them which doesn't give any answer to my complaints and feedback. They have become lazy developers. "Don't work, receive money". No mod works now, sound is often bugged. They literally used Shogun 2 soundfiles for Napoleon Total War in their latest updates for the game. From what I could understand from their email is that they lost the soundfiles of the game, because it's too old. I mean... What?
