phil bottle 9,720 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 It's been leaked that this is finally going to happen. http://uk.ign.com/articles/2015/01/14/total-war-warhammer-leaks-thanks-to-art-book I told a mate of mine from Barnsley and he came in his pants, probably.

Baabcat 1,646 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Wow, loved total war medieval and shogun, played them loads but don't have a PC that would cope with the new ones anymore. This would be awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BO7H B4RRELS 2,451 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I don't know anything about this series. What sort of game is it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPH282GUtlA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L_C_Scipio 395 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 It's a combination of turn based strategy (empire management,etc) and real time tactics for the battles. I've only ever played the first Rome but I loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only ever played the first Rome but I loved it. Civilization type stuff w/ real time tactics for battles? I need to look into this more. Those types of games have always interested me, but I've never been really into any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J4MES OX4D 9,974 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 We still have Total War Attila next month coming out. Shame they botched up the release of Rome II but the Emperor Edition is supposed to be excellent so I may have to do a re-install. Can't wait for Warhammer - the Total War games at their best and by far the greatest strategy games on offer IMO. The mix of turn-based map management combined with real-time battles on a grand scale is just outstanding. Great way to sink 6 hours straight in a game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favourite was Medieval Total War, they got a bit more complicated after that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favourite was Medieval Total War, they got a bit more complicated after that I have Civ 5 and really enjoy it, but it is a bit complicated for me. I've barely touched the RTS genre since coming to PC. It feels a bit overwhelming. Maybe I'll give Medieval a try. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with Bob about the games getting more complex in recent years. Total War Rome or Medieval are perfect games to get to grips with and despite them being older titles; they're the best in the series still for me.

jordie1892 674 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I've clocked 25 hours on Empire, 110 hours on Shogun 2, 180 hours on Rome 2 and lord knows how many on the original Rome. I know next to nothing about Warhammer, but I'll still probably end up getting it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil bottle 9,720 Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share Posted January 16, 2015 Warhammer is originally a fantasy tabletop game of armies from Games Workshop. They're also responsible for Bloodbowl and various Space Marine games. Plus an RPG magazine I used to read as a kid, White Dwarf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it bad that I own played the computer version of Blood Bowl and didn't know it had anything to do with warhammer? I'm gonna have to look into the lore...

J4MES OX4D 9,974 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 How is Attila Jordie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordie1892 674 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 How is Attila Jordie? I'm personally loving it. The new horde and migration system is meaning the campaigns are a lot less predictable. The battles are very fast paced due to the high number of cavalry so it's taking a bit of time to get used to. In my first campaign I took the Visigoths from Thracia over to southern Spain. The West Romans managed to overpower me and I eventually lost due to famine. I'm going to try a standard viking faction next to learn the game a bit better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely be looking to pick this up in the coming weeks. Seems to be much more solid than Rome II was at launch which is crucial for me. Been dying to get back into the series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been dying to get back into the series I should warn you that I have been getting a few crashes, particularly after ending a turn. It should all be ironed out pretty quickly though.
