Most boring total war game ever made?

[Zenitsu Agatsuma]

Opinons people? Personally for me some factions campaigns was cool to play as. But Northymbre was the worst faction and the most boring crap i have ever played. The game has such a cat and mouse chase its a chore to play. Probably the worst total war, sadly it had potential

all total war games seem boring after a while. theyll probably release a few dlcs to spice it up give it a year or so

It is absolutely the most boring, and that fact is backed up by the hard evidence, like review scores and player numbers, 90% of players have abandoned the game in under a month.

Jeez, the levels of neuroticism

It has some depth with the more storylike mechanics they have added for the factions however the exclusion of agents, army stances, proper naval battles, good AI (which TW has never been known for anyway), weak engine, proper building chains, quick campaigns, etc certainly has made it probably more boring than any other Total War I've personally played. Of course, that doesn't make it a bad game, but I do find it less enjoyable than other titles.

in my opinion the best total war execpt ai. best changes: recruiting system and no stupid forced march!

Great TW, and no more reptative than any of the others. Deserves much more credit and better reviews imo.

Its got just as much varity as vanilla shogun 2, but for some reason people dont like it as much.

I think alot of people dont like or have much interest in the setting, and so ddin't enjoy it as much. For me (considering I LOVE this period) its really fun! All the factions have felt sutibly unique and it includes a ton of cool new stuff like food for armies e.c.t.

Based my play through the vikings tv show. I love the period. just a lot of cat and mouse with these un defended places. Pain in my ass having the ai take place 1 2 3 ect and i am right behind picking it back up

I like that though, to many total wars a way too easy because of garrisons. Plus it makes sense as during this time period it took a long time to respond to an attack.

This is exactly the point people like Murdoch don't seem to understand. Liking TW:R2 more or WH or whatever doesn't make ToB bad. X being better than Y doesn't make Y bad.

Small armies patrolling your borders. And/or buffer states.

small armies can't take a 20 stack and buffing your states also does not protect all the small villages they pick at. I'm just saying its a chore to chase them. always just 1m behind just enough to not be able to engage it is so annoying. They just keep running.

No, but small armies patrolling can let you know an enemy is nearby a turn earlier, giving you time to bring in an army. And buffer states means an ally or enemy-of-enemy between you and the enemy, not states that are more buffed up.

ALLIES do nothing on this game but take over land which the enemy took off you. Just makes you weaker overall. I have only completed 3 campagins fully so i don't know if all the factions allies are as useless.
