Yeah. but the game is boring tbh. And broken. It's all shiny at first, but very soon you discover it's just as shallow as the Britannia one.
I.e.
All factions have pretty much the same, few, units.
AI Diplomacy is broken to no end. Get ready for some nice conga lines of enemy stacks towards your capital, lol.
The setting is fun at first when you recognize it from the Romance of the 3K, but that is soon gone and then it's just a very generic feeling, shallow game. Sieges suck, battles are very 1 dimensional, due to lack of unit and faction diversity and diplomacy simply doesn't work. AI will declare war on you for no reason etc. Or sign peace with you and then declare war on your vassal... i.e. YOU...
etc. etc.
I went back to TW2, which is the FAR superior game. Heck, even Rome 2 (in its current state) is a superior game.
Waiting for that Total War game where one can assume the role of a(ny) soldier / hero in first person (combat) and be part of that epic battle, front row seat.
Would like to see a concept for a 40k implementation it's not a setting transferable to TW.
Why not? I think it would be extremely easy to do. You can make the campaign map consisting of a couple of systems, like e.g. in Empires and there you go.
Agreed on the campaign map. But for battles they would have to implement an advanced cover system. It's not that you put a Sm squad in front of cm squad and the just stand and shoot at each other.
That's already in the game, sort of. But instead of "cover", it's terrain, i.e. shallow water, forest, high grass etc. all giving different bonuses or maluses to units.
@konkol84 I reinstalled Napoleon TW and I forgot that there was cover in it already (I think all of the TW with muskets and rifles), i.e. behind barricades and stuff.
Warhammer beats all of the other Total War games single-handedly.
They should leave historical titles the fuck alone (well, except for Medieval 3...), and do 40K after TW3.
i guess i am the weird one out who vastly prefer the historical ones , but well i am the weirdo whjo mostly play these games on campaiugn map an rarely does the battles

The management mechanics are vastly superior in the historical games. But the Warhammer series shines at combat. The sheer amount of units and the tactical choices available just cannot be beaten by games limited by realism.
Management is all fine, but in 3K, they dumbed it down so much...
City building has become "match the color", like seriously...
It's shallow as hell. Each city pretty much has its perfect build order and if you don't do that, you are simply gimping yourself.
There are no military buildings, other than general conscription, which gives you like better recruit ranks and lower upkeep for the cost of population growth (negative growth, easily countered by itself)
You can build any unit, anywhere. You don't need any special buildings or resources for anything.
Horses (resources) simply give you lower recruiting and upkeep reduction, but not a better unit. There are no upgrades for units, neither. No upgrades to armour or weapons etc.
It's EXTREMELY shallow and I am kicking myself in the head, for once again, falling into the trap of the "early game syndrome", i.e. the honeymoon period
I swear it's like this game is an experiment for coming to consoles in the future, from the oversimplification to the silly top down left right design it's like I need a gamepad or something they're probably looking to expand and searching for a mainstream design.
