I would kill for an Age of Sigmar Total Warhammer

[CorvoLad23]

Basically just what the title says. I'm a HUGE fan of AoS and I would kill to get my hands on a Total War game set in that universe. I love Warhammer Fantasy, but I just like Age of Sigmar more (And despite liking those two I can't stand 40k lol). Imo, it's a better universe with cooler lore and better looking units.

Age of Sigmar could have some AWESOME looking units as well and the battles would be unreal, imagine how cool it would look as a unit of Ironjawz Gore-gruntas smash home into a shield wall of Stormcast Eternals, each death causing a new column of lightning to shoot upwards into the sky, or how amazing the fights would look when the Lumineth Realm-lords battle the Nighthaunts, magic and spirits and walking mountains tearing apart whole units as the armies clash. Plus, the Realms would look cool as well and make for a very fun world map.

Now, there are certainly some issues that would come from making an AoS game.

One, the armies would have to be much bigger since Age of Sigmar battles are generally massive things, and the amount of damage individual units (like the Gods such as Nagash or Alarielle) or spells can cause would require everyone to have more health/larger unit sizes.

Two, the game would likely be even more intense in terms of graphics due to the spells/weapon effects/death animations for things like Stormcasts etc so the performance would likely be even worse.

Three, the Mortal Realms. How does one fight for control of the Mortal Realms? They're basically infinite, and each has countless Sub-Realms which are themselves individual worlds. The simple answer, imo, is that you don't. I would place 'Total War Age of Sigmar' in one Realm, in an area of great importance that all the various factions desire for one reason or another. For example, Thondia in Ghur or the Great Parch in Aqshy. Yes, it would be nice to conquer all the Realms and all that, but I simply do not believe it is doable in a video game.

But there is one MASSIVE reason that Creative Assembly should do an Age of Sigmar game.

It's easy.

Why? Because they already have a lot of the factions made. Goblins, Undead, the various mortal and daemon servants of Chaos, Skaven and so on. All of them can, with a slight tweak here or an alteration there, be reused in Age of Sigmar. All CA has to do, is create some new, unique (and DLC sellable) AoS exclusive units for each army that they currently lack.

You can combine the High Elves, Dark Elves, Wood Elves, Dwarfs and humans into one faction and there you go, you've got the Cities of Sigmar.

All it would take is a few new units for the Goblins and the Gloomspite Gitz are finished.

Add a few new spirit units to the Undead and BAAM, Nighthaunt.

Throw some new skeleton units into the Undead, and you've got the Soulblight faction.

Expand and alter the Slayer units, and you've got Fyreslayers.

Take the Wood Elf Tree Spirit units, add to them and expand them a little and there's the Sylvaneth done.

So on, and so forth.

Yes, things like Stormcast Eternals, Lumineth Realm-lords, Ossiarch Bonereapers and Idoneth Deepkin would need to be made from scratch, but that still means they only need to make a few new factions rather than create every single faction from nothing like they did for Total War Warhammer 1, 2 and 3.

So yes, I believe Total War Age of Sigmar would not only be very, VERY fun to play (and I would buy every single DLC they released for it), but I also think it would be comparatively easy to make. Easier, at least, than creating a brand new game in a totally new setting that CA would need to make from scratch like Lord of the Rings.

And the first two replies are exactly what I expected. Good lord people, god forbid someone like things you don't, eh? Regardless, my point stands. Total War AoS would be a fun game and a smart thing for CA to do :)

You've got bad taste.

[Jack Greedy]

BY THE COMET! What heresy is that! Age of Sigmar is a foul abnomination.

[TheAlmightyProo]

That would be great.

In an alternate universe.

That all the other alt universes then hate due to the making of that game being so heretical, despite them being warned of it, that it births the warp in real life.

Well, just keep asking for it.

In 20 or 30 years, maybe you will get sick of asking tho, like we all did.

Isn't it a small squad game? How would that even work in TW?

[Reaver79]

Guess that means they would have 1 customer for it..

But have you seen what its community thinks and is saying about it though :p

[Kraehe]

I hate AoS with the power of a million suns for killing the old world tabletop.

[Heru Ra Ha]

Kill for a game? I sincerely hope it never gets made.
