How do you feel about the TW:WW1 rumour?

From Legend: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jOB1YzLdxw

Has to be a fake leak imo, WW1 was 90% trench warfare and you literally cannot translate that into Total War in it's current iteration , unless you remove staggering trenches and make it as historically incorrect as possible .

That's bugged on Steam, the video has 102k views.

Yeah, a WWI TW game seems weird. It'd have to be radically different from past TW games to not just feel like someone just slapped a WWI skin on Empire or FotS. Line infantry cannot work unless you just pretend for some reason there's less firepower than FotS. Even in late game in FotS the traditional formula for TW starts to break down due to the sheer amount of firepower, and that's without bolt-action rifles, without machine guns, and without 20th century artillery.

I hope this doesn't turn into another cancelled project. I could easily see that happening after they put a build together and realize there's no way to make it work.

Yeah it seems steam doesn't show the real views on embedded videos.

i mean we had semi "trenches" in Empire, so it could work, its not imposible to do but dont expect it to be super historicaly acurate

Don't care.

I would never pay for another CA game. They still act like their ♥♥♥♥ doesn’t stink.

[Xhal]

Don't care about WW1 but I'm eager to see what they do with 40k.

Lengend also told everyone to take these rumors with a grain of salt.

ww1 total war does not sound interesting to me what so ever.
a ww1 game will either be a slow game where there is little to no movement on the campaign map or it will be very unrealistic and undeserving of the historical tag.
if this is true than im guessing that it will be the second total war game i skip

It doesn't open a mini-player if you click it?

I am guessing wildly that Legend bases this on stuff that was circulated april 1th.

It doesn't excite me, but starting in 1820 an culminating in 1920 might be interesting.
