Total War General Discussion Thread: Shogun to Rome 2!

[Skaen]

Three Kingdoms was garbage. It only sold that well because of the setting imo, mechanics wise it was terrible.

Yeah, I didn't enjoy it for a single bit. One of the dumbest purchases of my life.

Honestly I knew I didn't want to buy the game immediately because of the hero's etc. But the thing that really kicked me was seeing footage of the turtle formation things (chinese Testudo) but they have the same shield value no matter which way they are facing lmao

So I can have 20 units of archers shooting arrows up these guys assholes yet they will take no damage...

[Skaen]

The whole gameplay felt off imo. I really do not like the way it plays. I just love the simplicity of the older games a lot more. Also the english voicelines these Chinese troops use sound cringe to me. I can't really tell anything positive about it. Let's also hope they fix Napoleon Total War quickly because it crashes when you have a 12th or 13th Gen CPU. Launched a ticket at SEGA and got an E-mail back they are investigating the issue.

Three Kingdoms is pretty good if not great

best diplomacy, pretty solid battles with great atmosphere, beautiful soundtrack / UI, one of the only historical titles with an actual structured mid- and endgame, overall the most detailed campaign gameplay (supply- and population systems, more building variety etc), not vastly unrealistic character roleplaying

Biggest downside is the unit variety (look at Shogun 2 though); never played the hero mode so I can't really tell how balanced out it is

[Skaen]

Shogun 2 has to be my favorite TW game really. There are some insane campaign mods that make it even better and add more unit variety.

[John Price]

Shogun 2 is still my favourite but I lived on Avatar Conquest but that shits dead as hell now which is a real shame as its the only TW game that has it.

Yeah that mode was awesome.

Shogun III Total War with avatar conquest again would be nice.
