Total War: Warhammer 2 is 'in the works', and new historical Total War in the pipeline - Sensationalist Headlines

[QUOTE=RedBaronFlyer;51900693]This is the least legitimate argument I've ever heard besides "It's called [B][I][U]EUROPA[/U][/I][/B] Universalis" whenever anyone brings up something not Europe focused in EU4 You do know half of the challenge of a Total War game is trying to keep a stable government and economy to support your armies right? It's not just stomping the crap out of the brain dead AI. (Even on very hard when they have all their cheats)[/QUOTE] says who? they pretty clearly didn't want the focus of the game to be on the economy or stable government, because two of the races in the fucking game are [I]orks[/I] and [I]chaos marauders[/I] it wouldn't have fit the tone, and the game is far better off for them not having done that like, call the argument what you want, but the warhammer universe is unsurprisingly, largely about war because it's a tabletop battle game having the focus be shifted from governance and economy to heroes and battles is [I]absolutely [/I]what the game needed to be done to be good, and they pulled it off pretty well

Or even the fucking Empire? It's a small feature, one you definitely don't have to micro manage, but when you remove those features it starts to add up. It's literally a slider, it's not an enitre tab where you have to monitor the bean intake of your peasants every minute to make sure they aren't farting too much. It doesn't have to be 100% HIT EM IN DA EAD WIT A ROK. You might as well just play the scenario battles if you wan't a literal "Total War". The lore actually has intrigue, diplomacy, and factions playing a part in it.

Considering I heard that about the paltry unit rosters, talked to a friend about how the rosters are actually bigger, and surprise those units we talked about got packaged as DLC. And to top it off the battles are shitty, so no they didn't really pull it off. They botched it. They've just managed to wow people with pretty graphics and models. It's the same gameplay as before, nothing really changed. The variety is entirely graphical.

I want to play as the cute rats

I'll pick this up in a couple years when all of the games/expansions/DLC are packaged into one big Total Warhammer bundle.
