what's the greatest total war game and why is it total war rome?

>total war
It's dead, son

...

Probably because it did everything it sought to do perfectly.

but muh political system

Remains shit to this day in TW games.

Wrong.

>implying medieval isnt just a giant dlc expansion of rome

Stop that Legend of Total War.

Rome Total War was great for it's time but is now overrated. Battles are too simple and come down to the mechanics and stats of the units. Rome II is criminally underated. The only thing bad about it was the first few months after it's start.

rome 2 has a fundamentally broken engine and combat system that will never be fixed

Both of these

>Shitty floaty movements
What about no?

Europa Barbarorum made RTW great

GODS I HATE GAULS

Rome is elder god tier while Medi2 is one of the worst

i always go out of my way no matter the cost to eradicate those animals

my grandfather hated them too, even before they put out his eyes

>M2TW is one of the worst

god fuck the germans
they truly are the descendants of the gauls with how virulent dicks they are

no

...

Shogun 2 is really great if you can ignore the abysmal unit variety and the fact that all of the factions are exactly the same.

>muh wome
i bet youre playing empire divided, you fags

How's empire/napoleon Sup Forums?
I've been itching for a RTS game with lines of infantry firing at one another. Was tempted to buy ultimate general: civil war to scratch that itch but I've heard bad things.

PULLO FORMATION

empire and napoleon are pretty decent but the ai is complete shit

...

I liked it but not as much as Rome. Changing between cities and castles was kinda dumb and the Pope ruined everything.

Also Mongols and the fucks that came after. After the shit that was Barbarian Invasions they did it again.

>the Pope ruined everything
So you know how it felt to be a fuedal king then
Historically, popes were dicks

FUCK YEAR!

Sure but I'd like to enjoy the game a little and not feel like I might just die of dysentery at any moment.

Did you fucks actually play vanilla RTW?

I did, it was one of the few total war campaigns that I actually finished. I wouldn't recommend it.

TRUE BREAD, FOR TRUE ROMANS

Actually after the gigantic patch and expansion, Rome 2 has that title now.

medieval 1

every total war after med 2 is garbage

One thing I liked about rome 2 was that javelin armed cavalry were actually worth a damn.

Yes I played it when it came out in early 2000s, before mods. It was enjoyable.

It's a brainlet's interpretation of medieval europe, plus it's far uglier than Rome Total War

Play CK2 and it's obvious how incredibly poorly the game presented the setting

>Pathetic plebditfags

Ck game with tot war battles when?

(You)

>ck2 is historically accurate
>playing video games for historical accuracy

>It's a brainlet's interpretation of medieval europe
so what is this?

This is what happens when your lunatic character goes mad

In med2 the countries are all like 2 towns and 2 castles, even the HRE. It's not only fucking stupid but it hurts the gameplay too.

Every time

>abysmal unit variety and the fact that all of the factions are exactly the same.
just like real life really

empire >>>>>>>>>>> napoleon
i don't care what tactics napoleon used irl, no fire by rank is gay as fuck
