The Age of Fantasy Total War HAS ended!

[L 0 C K E T]

Historical is back on the menu, boyz.

ARISE ARISE!!!

*grabs popcorn*

May be not.

They might do lord of the ring total war.

[Too Much Salt]

Depends on what history though. Wouldn't mind Shogun 3 or some other Asian settings.

[VoiD]

I really do hope they take historical seriously.

You cannot compete against WH trying to focus on some random culture or some random place in the world.

WH is now a global campaign, with several continents, cultures, and on top of it all we get all the fantasy elements historical couldn't dream of having.

If Historical wants to have a chance, and to be taken seriously they need to:

1: Create a massive global campaign, even if it takes multiple games merged together just like WH 1 2 and 3, where it is very possible for a world dominating european power full of knights to eventually reach the east and start fighting knights vs samurai, with trading systems, trading routes, development mechanics, cultural mechanics, different armies and fighting styles, etc...

And/Or

2: Create something very different from the regular total war experience, much deeper, since history can't compete with fantasy in the battles department, make a very complex strategical game instead that's more like a hybrid of Grand Strategy with Total War.

If they try to make another Thrones of Britannia or 3K again it will have the same fate, again, WH set the bar too high, the age of these limited total war games is over, people will check them out due to novelty, but they will return to WH to play their 15th campaign with a different race or legendary lord instead.

Edit: Oh, and also, a greater lengthy campaign would be needed, History can't compete with all the unit types and forms you can attack in Fantasy, but it can get a little more veriety by researching from early iron age technology all the way up to the napoleonic era, and all the army reforms inbetween.

good, it was ♥♥♥♥.

*points finger at*
HE THINKS ITS OVER... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

There's still Age of Sigmar with plenty of content to give. And 40K. The historical TW fans second worst luck is that Warhammer and the Total War formula mixes so well together; their worst luck is that Warhammer is essentially an endless franchise.

Nope, next is Star Wars, then LoTR, then maybe Harry Potter. Historical is played out.

Last but not least, after Harry Potter we'll surely get SHREK Total War

[Imposter]

When did CA do historical, OP? You must be lying.

And for the record CA already mentioned that they are working on Mortal Kombat: Total War.

[|Pipe Dreams]

Historical TW's for 15yrs, we get Fantasy now for 15yrs.

Get used to it. Nothing is more mindnumbing than playing 8 different races all as Humiez. Give me Orks or give me death ya gitz

Thought for a second there this was going to be another one of those insufferable troll threads about TWW3 dying, but you are right. This is the last Fantasy Total War for a while, as far as we know at least.

Personally I'm hoping for Ancient Egypt and the Middle East at that time.

[Cryten]

I would say we have at least 1 major race pack (if not 2) and at least 2-3 lord packs. And thats assuming interest doesnt pick up and they end it with only basic support.

Any confirmation on the next project? As much as I want them to redo 3K or attila, fantasy will not go anywhere. As other said here, they still has lotr which is very much possible, age of sigmar and w40k. I will not want shogun 3, medieval probably a much safer bet for them as well.

No, but there's no reason to think that TWW caused there to be a New World Order at CA and now Historical is gone forever.
