But I really wish there was a fantasy total war of some kind.
I didn't know much about history until games like Age of Empires and Total War drilled some into me. Especially the main menu theme.īy the way, I kinda want to ask: I'm approaching the series as a gamer in general, not a strategy gamer per se. And if I remember, it uses the same engine as Napoleon, which had each faction take up something like 2gb in filesize for assets. I do sort of wish the engine ran a little better, but not knowing the engine they use, I don't know if that's fair to say. The agent/general talent choices are streamlined and not quite so clear cut, and the foreign vet is a great idea. I think they've really refined the systems they had from Shogun 2. Seeing them side by side with samurai is a treat indeed. There's something very sad and tragic implicit in the whole rapid modernization affair, a 'narrative theme' of sorts I've founded lacking in some TW games. Very evocative setting from a time period not often covered in games. I think this is my favorite Total War yet.
