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 .

[Basarab Laiota]

tell your machine gunners to hold down suppressive fire on a unit
they run in to melee distance instead
you know it's gonna be exactly like this

[Mazisky]

The least interesting and popular setting after Pharaoh.

We will see if CA double down on failure.

I don't like ww2 either but at least it is popular.

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

He hears this from sources inside the company. He has several too but he still take it as a rumor.

He's not one to just spread baseless rumors as facts either.

Honestly it sounds boring as hell, three years of trench warfare, sides getting bogged down unless they change it then it's not historical anymore. Really bad idea have they run out of good ideas I would rather have WW2.

I'm not sure CA is capable of doing WW2 either. Imagine CA trying to make a D-Day battle map with land, sea and air engagements... that is far beyond CA's capabilities .

Not at all interested in the setting.

Could be cool to see how they implement the drastic change in style over a few years. The war started with bayonets and cavalry changes and ended up with nearly static trenches.

I don't think it would work. Total War is built around pitched battles of soldiers in formations modern warfare doesn't fit that same goes for 40k.

A victorian total war would be a lot more exciting for me. Much more potential or just Empire another shot.

I Kinda like the Idea of WW1 total war, but again I also know it just will be a "test run" of engine,mechanics and systems so they will have feedback and be better prepared for Total war 40k.

Would be the most depressing of all Total War games (for those of us who read "No news from the western front" in our pre teens)

Well maybe.... if that video is to go by then Warhammer 40K is being rumoured to be coming out first as the gunpowder historical game doesnt appear to be anywhere near ready if its not likely to be shown till 2026 or later... so there wont be any test run. Both games would follow a similar style i think so i can see reasoning for it making sense to have two games to follow a similar style of war.

Well if WW1 and 40k might as well combine them both...

Meh, if its an actual thing and turns out well good if it isn't or turns out bad eh whatever

[Coldhands]

I’d be down for a WW1 based Total War. More than anything I want CA to get Total War out of its comfort zone and try new things with it. So if it’s a setting that sounds like it “wouldn’t fit” Total War, I’m automatically at least a little interested.
