Good vid on the changes which actually look interesting, looking forward to some Utube play vids but staying away from this one for 6 months, got burned on Rome II not doing that again!

Anyone picking this up early?

I've got my eye on it, but like you, I'm not going to be an early adopter.

I saw my go to streamer playing it yesterday. It was a sponsored content video. He seemed to enjoy it never the less. Looked decent, not buggy and enjoyable if you like this kind of game. Did not look like something i would play though.

I'd like to know whether it's essentially a rehash of the Viking Invasions expansion for MTW 1. None of the previews or reviews I've seen have mentioned this but it seems a pretty obvious comparison point to me.

Mind you, I thought the same about RTW 2's Attila and RTW1's Barbarian Invasions and no-one else seemed to mention it.

I'll wait. I haven't seen anything worth dedicating time to in a Total War game since MTW2... And, they still have to prove to me they're not releasing games just to shove Day 1 DLC into player's... wallets.

TW Shogun 2 is my favourite TW so far and I would recommend getting it, more so if you like Japanese Culture/History.

I do own both Rome 2 (Emperor Edition) and Attila (got them on very cheap sales) but none are as fun and I have not touched them in ages. To be fair, once I got EU4 both the TW and Civ franchises lost much of my interest. TW I completely stopped following after they went the Warhammer route, there I lost all interest in this franchise and have not read or looked for any updates.

Dont think that will change for this one.

Got it, no chance to play it yet.

Will say though, the Mortal Engines Map for Total Warhammer 2 is maybe the best Total War experience I've ever had.

And I don't even like Warhammer that much.

I did not enjoy Rome 2 ether to be honest there is something souless about it I cannot put my finger on.

Of course the city building/balancing did not help.

I also recommend Shogun 2 - in fact Fall of the Samurai is in my opinion among the best Total wars

Just a note:

I forgot to mention "Empire: Total War" I actually really like that game in the series and, in contrast to most players, love the sea battles! (I'm a big "Age of Sail" fan.)

BUT, only with Darthmod, which fixes some of the dumb issues with Naval combat/strategy/economy as well as many other great tweaks.

Shame how they snubbed him after all those years of adding value to their product... :/
