Best setting for a video game.

Redpill me on Total War: SHOGUN 2.

ERE>WRE

Literally the best game ever made.

...

Most difficult total war
Best historical total war since Medieval 2
Very dynamic world

This one is better

Unit variety so stupid only weebs could defend it.

Kek

much better than Rome 2 and overall darker and gritty like a wargame should be

>it's ugly
>runs like dog shit, AI turns sometimes take forever
>it's hard as balls
>combat ends too fast
>town's guard towers have MG42s in them and a legion of Simo Hayhas operating them
>everything you do in campaign has downsides, making many things very tedious. Especially playing as a Christian nation. It's better to change religion.
>Attila is actually pretty intimidating and will wreck your shit if you are not ready for him and his doomstacks
>AI doesn't know how to resettle settlements, making half of the map a post-apocalyptic world due to hordes running around

Other than that it's pretty good. WRE, ERE, Huns and that one Arab faction have pretty good campaigns.

is there a way to play WRE/ERE on a one province start?

What's the best Total War game as a beginner. I bought every TW game in a sale and I'm wondering which one to start with. Shogun 2 and Empire are interesting me.

Best mechanics and gameplay, but the setting is pretty weak unless you are a history fag who likes the late-Roman empire.

Best of the "shooting" TW games. Very historically inaccurate and the combat gets old fast because it's very rock paper scissors. Introduced a lot of the good ideas in newer TW titles, like agents that actually do shit.

Fall of the Samurai is god-tier.

Secretly the best TW title, even if historyfags are butthurt about it. So much happening mechanically it stays interesting for hours. Best modding capabilities too.

>Hard as balls as a negative

nanban fear the samurai

It wasn't a negative. Should've rephrased better but it was rather a list of things you should except from the game.

The only people that don't like Late Antiquity are people that don't know anything about Late Antiquity.

>open Attila
>hear ominous throat singing at the main menu
>think its the shit
>go to youtube to listen to it more
>filled with turks claiming that huns wiere turkish

holy autism

These 2 are the two most numale total wars ever made.

Why would Turks be claiming that? They're descendants of another horde that came down out of central Asia and fucked up the successor of Rome, what more do they want?

Well they were Turkic, but Turks are just Muslim LARPing Greeks so they have no real link to the Huns.

user don't misunderstand, I like Attila's setting a lot, but non-historyfags tend to hate late antiquity.

Not as good as people paint it out to be desu.
The AI is as incompetent as ever, except now this time they chase an army across the map for no good reason and everyone is razing cities and not resettling them so the map has a million holes in it.
Also not a lot of fun factions to play desu. But Age of Charlemagne is fun.

>but non-historyfags tend to hate late antiquity.

People hate what they don't understand. The most the average Sup Forums shitposter knows about it is "muh degeneracy", "christianity" and "snowniggers".

>collecting scraps from a falling empire

How is this setting interesting in any way?

Huns weren't turkic.

Their exact origin is unknown because well - they burned everything - but more recent discoveries link them to proto mongols.

And mongols like protomongols took over those turkic steppe people and so they worked for them.

The most interesting stories are told during the falls of empires. e.g. Isaac Asimov's Foundation. Honestly the period is fascinating as fuck.

Which do you honestly think is more interesting

>single empire and a couple of shitty neighbouring barbarian tribes that even combined don't match the empire's strength

Or

>an empire on the abyss with various tribal leaders allying with Roman warlords to prop it up or squat on its remains. New groups crossing all over the place and the entire framework that has been in place for a thousand years being swept away. Germanic kingdoms in Africa and Spain, Scythian mercenaries fighting in northern Gaul, post-Roman Britain falling apart and King Arthur, east vs west intrigues and naval battles.

Empire is one of the worst Total War games imo, even though it's not bad on its own. Shogun 2 is good if you're into weeb shit, but has very low unit variety. If you don't mind playing older ones, Medieval 2 is I think considered the pinnacle of series and it's probably my favourite one personally.

We could be in space right now if the Roman Empire didn't fall.

>buying anything from the creative assembly after rome 2

hell no

It's my favoite Total Wat

...

I really really want to start a new Attila campaign, but every time I do I just quit midway through my first battle when I realize there's no unit collision.

Warhammer ruined me.
