TW Warhammer 1 or TW TROY

[Furious Ming]

Both complete editions cost nearly the same (around 50 €).
Is there a clear better game? For reference. I own all TW games except the Warhammer ones and Troy, and my favoutites are Attila, Rome 2 and Shogun 2
fun fact: in campaign i only play with auto resolve and the last TW battlefield i have seen was in TW Empire

If you only auto resolve, I would say Troy. The best thing about WH is the battles, while the campaign is generally a battle delivery system.

Getting WH1 is a waste of money. WH 2 is better in every way.

You can literally buy physical copy of warhammer+chaos dlc almost at any store so why not both?

In europe maybe. In the US physical copies of PC games isn't really a thing.

While i enjoy troy , warhammer is clearly the better game overall.

But i wouldnt go with WH1 ..WH2 is the way to go.
Getting really good autoresolves may take some time in warhammer tho but the endgame doomstacks you can build are very powerful.

You seem like you prefer historical titles. Warhammer isn't "clearly" the better game. It completely depends on your interests.

If high fantasy annoys you, you will not like Warhammer at all. Troy at least has a historical mode, even though it's mostly just a diminished version of the other modes. But, even playing the mythos mode feels like a game much more grounded in "reality". There are lines of battle and the fantasy elements are limited. The battles in Warhammer feel a lot more like traditional RTS games where there literally is no line of battle. Magic and single entity units play a more more prominent role in Warhammer as well.

Another HUGE difference is the performance of Troy. It's amazing. The first TW game I've ever played that was fully optimized. This can't be understated. (I've played every TW since the original Shogun.)

I played the heck out of Warhammer, so I clearly like it. But, I've really enjoyed playing Troy. Don't let anyone convince you that Troy is a lesser game. Warhammer is around the same price, but there's about a ton of DLC's required to get the full experience.

I think i will go with Troy, it seems to give me some Age of Mythology Vibe. I dont mind the light Fantasy element to it, 3 Kingdoms prepared me for it with its hero units

This is true ..i didnt take that into consideration sry.

I like both historical and fantasy so i went with that mindset haha.

Its hard to choose...I got all WH1 and WH2 they are great games i have Troy on Epic and at the moment im more into Troy that is Great Game..I like direction They turned with Total War games

Wh have lot more replayability and it real addictive but Troy have better engine mechanic and better battle. Troy era it better also. Wh universe it really evil gore-childish and axed for a more vast audience. Look like it made by some retarded psychopaths. Troy it based on real human Mythology and legend so it real more sweet.
Battle in Wh are just real chaos with no real tactic I mostly just auto-resolve unless I really need to fight. So both are great for auto-resolve but Troy have more realistic battle system.
Units are way more diverse and vast in Wh but lot of them are just garbage like heliocopter, gaitlin gunner,...
With more factions and units Troy will clearly be a better game.

WH has tactics, it's just that it has RTS tactics rather than war game tactics.

Yes, you summed up what you'll get.
Troy has 3 modes of playing the game campaign with the Myth DLC giving you the full Mythological monsters and fantasy units to battle with.
At the same time you can play as an historical TW title like the one you own. While auto-resolve works fine, the battle maps in Troy are really nice to forge battle with your army.

If you only autoresolve, Troy for sure. It's not even close. The campaign in WH is as deep as a puddle.

[wibblywobblywonder]

That aside, if you only autoresolve, why not download the spectator mode mod and watch the AI battle it out anyway?

[Furious Ming]

Is this spectator mod for the campaign?
