I love the total war games, and the twist of it being in a War hammer universe means I already bought it 1 hour empire campaign Begining of the Dwarf campaign some random battles all these guys have a few videos up already, they had early access over the last week or two.

Fiale Posted May 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 BTW - just for anyone who is not aware, you need to buy the game within the first week to have access to the Chaos faction (There promotion/preorder bonus). There will be some other factions in the future, with Brettonia being a free dlc in the coming months as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome To The Jungle Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 I still play the first Rome and Medieval 2 as they are still the best. They changed the engine to suit musket warfare which removed unit collision mechanics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrs Court Red Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 I won't touch another Total War on release for a long time after Rome 2. Although seemingly they've done a better job this time around. Thankfully Stellaris has filled my strategy void for the time being.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrs Court Red Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 It's worth every penny mate. However yes, once the galaxy is full, it's not as engaging. Being a Paradox game it will be extremely fleshed out over the next few years, through paid DLC and free updates- they've already published their free update roadmap for the next few months which will improve the game immensely in the areas that do lack the same sort of wow factor as the early period. 16 minutes ago, Monkeh said: I've been looking at that but heard/read mid to late game is a bit boring, will have to give it a go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Anyone with an Apple device I can reccomend War of Thrones. Great game for its type. Only the chat is interactive but the game itself is fascinating to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My PC is about 3 years old now, running with Nvidia GTX-770 and intel i5 Having as blast, even played some online matches against people in 2v2 and 3v3 which was great fun.

There was a scenario disc released for Civ 2 that took over days of my life. Even without that, it was a monstrous leap forward over the original. Not having Civ 2 being the best though - Civ 4 was utter perfection with the "Beyond the Sword" update, and some of the mods were unbelievable in what they achieved and delivered. For me I think that's why I never really got into 5, it seems smaller scale than the preceding games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough i never bought Civ 4, I had 2-3 and skipped to 5 which is a big leap from where I was so I never really took time to enjoy playing it. I'll have a gander at it now though, cheers.
