Total War: Rule Britannia, literally.

[Impaled Nazarene]

my alienware isnt even 2 years old and it cant even run Attila

[Greater Allidron]

Just keep in mind that playing on the highest settings likely won't end well unless you have a really good computer for this kind of thing. That said I can run Empire just fine with pretty high quality and my computer isn't anything special.

I am thinking about investing some money into a better graphics card, and if need be, a better PSU (mainly to help my HOI4 run more smoothly).

Thanks for all the info!

Apparently a version of Rome 1 is out now that's playable on the iPad. Any thoughts?

The controlling is hard, but otherwise runs perfect.

[Emilio Aguinaldo]

It has a multiple choice storyline that can be affected by in game choices and not just playable cutscenes, the ability to choose campaign loadouts, strike force missions, a run and gun oriented multiplayer, campaign challenges, DLCs adding weapons for the first time, huge changes to zombies, etc.

Wait what?Really? or is this BO2 never played bo2 tho

ALso, is anyone else dropping about 60-5 frames in R:TW? I'm on windows 8 btw

I don't like how when you're besieging a settlement and the enemy sallies out to attack you, you still have to go into the town square to finish them off, but that's probably just me being bad at Total War.

[The Romulan Republic]

Just concluded an interesting little naval battle in Empire.

Playing as United Provinces. My sixth and fifth rate, I think it was, vs. a pirate galleon.

I had the galleon between my two ships, and since I was trying to board, fighting at very close range. The galleon, as galleons tend to, was winning.

My fifth rate caught on fire, and I used my sixth rate to board (normally would have been a hopeless fight), and kept the galleon from moving away from my burning ship, so that when it exploded, the galleon was caught in the blast. Both my surviving ship and their's went up in flames, but I guess they got the worst of it, because their morale failed and they surrendered.

First time I've ever taken out an enemy vessel by using one of my own ships as an impromptu bomb (I would have rather not lost it, of course, but I didn't want to break off the attack with my sixth rate and let the galleon pound it as it tried to run, and hey, if your ship is going to blow up anyway, you might as well get one last use out of it).

Still, despite the amusing bizarreness of the battle's conclusion, I can't really be happy about it, because I lost one warship and crippled another to edge out a win against a single vessel.

You stuck to those god damn pirate galleons. Little bastards are the bane of my trade fleets.

[NeuPolska]

But that single vessel will be unstoppable until your enemies start using second rates and beyond.

I have entire armadas of galleons as Spain and dominate the seas. Never lost a single galleon, at least not by sinking or exploding. The British captured one from a small fleet once, but I came back for it and got it back.

I also found out you can rename regiments and ships, though I haven't really been anything with that besides maybe the occasional ship that happens to have the same name as another. I renamed my best galleon from La Mujer to La Isabella Real to commemorate my Queen, who saw the rise of my empire from a weak scattered collection of territories to a terrifying world power. I had to get my noble classes to overthrow Carlos II and I got Queen Isabella, who happened to be much, much better.

I've been wondering this for a while. I'll have to minimize my losses here and say that I'm interested in all kinds of gaming but can't get my head around why these great games couldn't be compiled into a one online game. I mean you have people who are wholly enveloped in the strategical element of war, you have people that are into just shooting others up, and they are numerous, and you have people that are more in to the political aspect of these games. Do you guys think that gaming could justifiably pave the way in world unification before the rigid nation states could?

[Impaled Nazarene]

They need to release a patch that removes the op nature of Galleons from vanilla

[The Christonian Imperium]

they should add a victoria total war thats world wide and you can play as any major faction per continent

Help, my processor it can't handle this level of Prussian glory. No really if they do that they need an old fashion graphics mode because my gaming laptop will melt upon pressing end turn for the first time.

[Altito Asmoro]

Has there been any news about an upcoming Total War?

[The Huskar Social Union]

Has there been any news about an upcoming Total War?

There is probably not going to be any for a good while, Warhammer has not been out for a year yet, that will probably be their main focus for another good while, i'd say the earliest we might hear about another total war game would be towards the end of this year.

But who knows when really.

Plus Warhammer has room for crazy amounts of DLC.

It wouldn't surprise me if they announce Total War: Warhammer II New World Edition about the same time they did the first game, so about mid April, and have the game release either late this year at the earliest or early-mid 2018.

We've got confirmed content out until February when the Old World Edition releases and we get Brettonia and we'll likely get Mousillion and Middenland around that time as well. I imagine they'll continue to release Lords Packs after that, but I'd be surprised if they don't announce it relatively quickly after the Old World Edition to keep up the momentum and to keep the enthusiasm fresh.

[The Romulan Republic]

I just keep wishing that, if they're going to abandon real-world history for SF, they'll announce either an LotR: Total War game, or a Game of Thrones one.

Game of Thrones in particular, I think, would be fairly well-suited to a Total War adaptation.

Nah man. Dragon Age or Elder Scrolls (i don't care much for TES but I really want an excuse to kill elves and not be demonized by real life people)

Some of these have already been made as mods for Med II tbf. Additionally I would like to note that it is far easier to secure rights to historical elements then fantasy franchises.

It's easy if you're an obscure setting like Iron Kingdoms, or a dying setting like Dragon Age.

Something something fuck Mass Effect. Something something KOTOR is better. Needs more hot lesbian and bi characters. Also put it in Tevinter.
