CA should get rights to create LOTR game.

[OBEYYOURGM!!]

They proved they can create an amazing games with Warhammer series.
With everything they created here, I'm hoping we will be able to get TTW Lord of the rings game.

I hope not.

Yes, they did something great, but imo, it would feel like a damped version of Warhammer, with less diversity.
Also, just like Star Wars, they're already too much about LotR around recently, turning things into an overdose (or just a easy-money magnet...).

If they were to do it, so be it.

Yeah. Plus, the best thing about LOTR is the individual characters and their stories, not battles and conquest. I'd go as far as to say that the whole point of LOTR is the individual stories rather than the fights.

The issue with "overdose" is lack of quality. Acolyte and Rings of power is the damage.
Creating these games by CA would create fans, get the franchises the right spotlight it needs especially now with immersive gameplay and being loyal to the lore/galaxy both Tolkien and George created. CA has proved that they can create Warhammer universe, I believe they could create something really good with both SW and LOTR.
(LOTR would be a safer bet due to blasters)
ofc, you are free to disagree.

I don't understand the point.

A LotR total war would just be a watered-down and more bland Warhammer Total War.

I like LotR but I wouldn't buy it.

Also, this 100%.

the lord of the ring does not offer as much freedom as warhammer for a grand strategy game, but eh I love a battle for middle earth 3 instead

[Darkeus]

I just want to see them do Warhammer 40K lol.

Creating a LOTR game focused on battles and empire building would be about as far from honoring the Tolkien as you could get.

By that logic, that would make every historical total war just a damped version of Warhammer

I don't want a Lord of the Rings total war because of the diversity, I want it because of the setting

There is a reason why third age total war is the most downloaded mod of Medieval 2

And by the way what does "too much Lord of the Rings" mean? The last (good) Middle Earth game was Shadow of War and that was released in 2017.

A lot of people playing this game do not want to play any historical titles for exactly that reason.

[Sarumoon]

All I know, is if it's something I want CA to make, they aint gonna make it.

So the chance is 0%.

The Tolkein knows all. The Tolkein sees all. You must Honor The Tolkein.

World of warcraft total war-craft first.

[SpaceGoatMage]

Not before Redwall: Total War.

Depends what you're looking for.
You expect a warhammer title to have fantasy, variety, one man armies, weird stuffs and magic, lore accurate thingies from both TT and TRPG, etc.
I expect historical title to be more polished in every other aspect, including diplomacy (I love you 3K...), theme, musics, strategy (*cough* debattable) and other things to make an historical game attractive (better sieges, better diplomacy, etc...). In short, something more realistic.

I like both no matter, but the feeling is different.
When playing TWWH, you play the Legendary Lord, he's the one who matters.
When you play a historical title, you play for the faction.

CA should keep their focus on making Warhammer 40k instead of making pale shadow of Warhammer3 in form of LOTR.
Warhammer 40k allows CA to print $ to mend some lost money on previous brain fart decisions.
