A good portion of the total war community is retarded and doesn't understand what the series is about at a basic level. We have people who hate TW for releasing a game in pretty much the same era as Rome, and call for some stupid World War 1 game that would span 4 fucking years.
Total war is about representing eras, not wars. People complain about Attila being too similar but then jizz themselves over Napoleon. Stop being mongloidic. TW has made their worst games by crumbling to community demand. They'll do what they must.
