[@Niitroxyde]

Shogun II, purely by the magnificence of the ambience, art direction, sound design and soundtrack, you really feel like you're in the Sengoku Jidai when you're playing. One of my best video gaming experience of all times just for this.

[@bla09235454212]

Its a simple, yet elegant design - near perfect

Yes totally agree, especially with the agents, considering sometimes u have a total limit of 5/agent and when u hit the cap and they start dying off u really feel a hole in ur heart thinking of the number of turn it trains it

[@MrDUneven]

I think the settings and the mechanics are a perfect match. Such simplicity and balance works set in ancient Japan. Trying same with, say ancient Roman game might not work as well.

[@Ebb0Productions]

​@@lukaskovac6778 I prefer the Attila building system. It's actually my favorite in Total War. I find the Shogun 2 buildings and public order to be confusing.

[@jirkazalabak1514]

@@lukaskovac6778 The building system is not that difficult, it´s just unbalanced, especially for the Romans. The positive effects of high level buildings are usually not good enough to compensate for the downsides. In most provinces, you are unable to build max levels of buildings, because it would either make them unhappy, starve them, or cost way too much gold to maintain. On the other hand, it really makes it feel rewarding to finally get that max level palace or barracks, because you have to actually plan your entire province around it. Also, the battles in Attila, at least the open battles, are truly amazing. I like games focused on cavalry, and boy does Attila deliver.

One of the main things that a lot of total war players forget about is the epicness of the history surrounding the game. Shogun 2 is also my favorite total war game. And possibly my favorite game of all time for all of the reasons he stated, but also how badass the history of Japan is. People don’t talk about the Bushido war, or the Sengoku Jida at all. It seems like an epic thing lost to history, and now all that japan is known for it anime and WW2 war crimes. Another thing about it is the art style. Idk but the Japanese and Chinese art style just has something so amazing about it. It just gives me a sense of satisfaction. I wish there were more games about the Sengoku Jida or the Mongolian invasion and other things like that.

Great list. I would have placed Medieval 2 in 1st place and Shogun 2 in 2nd but that's my preferences and you have yours:) I think the reason for me and many others why Shogun 2 is so great despite not having much faction and unit variety is because it has the same amazing atmosphere and immersion of the time its representing as medieval 2 just making everything feel so believable and enjoyable. It is also a very polished experience. Maybe I'm biased because of my love and passion for the sengoku jidai and european late medieval period and renaissance:)

Shogun was the game that popped my Total War cherry. I was very young, I want to say late elementary school or early middle school, but it certainly left an impression.

I actually recently got back into Shogun, but just downloaded Medieval II this evening. I’m pretty stoked.

[@altvctr]

Shogun 2 has wonderful aesthetics, but small scale games never worked for me. I'd die for a game in the period right after Attila, but I get why that's so difficult to get right. So, a close call between Medieval 2 and Attila for a 1st, with a 3rd being the original Rome. Still remember how amazed I was by that map.

Atilla Vanilla games only experience. Some games I actually prefer watching over playing, such as Warhammer. I find that game incredibly tedious to play. Not complex in a sense that it overwhelms you, just tedious in that in asks for 50 things to be done (also my complaint with Medieval 2 and bloody merchants and princesses and agents and holy fucking hell, let me just play the game). Napoleonic area of history is my favorite. Gun units in line formations, brutality on battlefields, amazing looking uniforms. I love that period. But all TW games set in it have been dreadful.

[@Urlocallordandsavior]

The most amusing thing about Empire, and Empire II (*If it ever comes out), is that it is most possibly one of the least fantasy-adaptable out of all of the time periods Total War once and will cover (along with Napoleon). If there was going to be an Empire II, it'll possibly be a very bad kick to the nuts for Warhammer-fantasy fans (for 18th century line infantry combat like the old Empire), a very bad kick to the nuts to historical fans (if CA ever decides to go for steampunk Victorian for Empire II), or an actual decent game that appeases both sides (when it come to realistic gunpowder units and mixing them with Medieval-influenced melee units that might as well also appease melee/fantasy fans, basically an Empire II in the 16th or 17th century is what I'm trying to say).

If so what are your thoughts on this one?

[@chwastsz]

My list: No 1: warhammer 2 - play differnt race= diff game No 2: shogun 1 - most hours played No 3: Napoleon- introduced morale and great infantry/artiillery/cavalry balance No 4: Rome- best charges No 5: Medieval 2 - crusades

Total War Battles : Shogun should be the winner and everybody knows it, Donkey.

[@MrSmartDonkeyLP]

You’ll see that game on a different list soon. 😝

I totally agree with your Rome, Medieval logic. I’m in the same boat.

Empire is the best total war don't @ me

[@9pmInTokyo]

Hopefully Three Kingdoms can top them all considering it now has a revamped diplomacy system (provided it actually works), the music is REALLY good and also the art. Add on the fact that we have unique leaders and heroes (like Warhammer) and two modes - Romance and Classic - I sure hope TKTW will be the BEST Total War to come out. Edit: Don't forget the fact we have population back and a supply feature.

I'm a fan of Empire and Attila.

[@Dake21]

Empire shined with its grand campaign. Managing colonies, teching more than one thing at once, trade and commodities values based on supply and demand....With the Darthmod it's great.

[@markhenley3097]

Campaign: Empire, Medieval 2, Attila, Rome 2, Rome. Battles: Napoleon, Medieval 2, Rome, Empire, Anything else.

Prins van Oranje And something else...very objective point dude.

[@VentiVonOsterreich]

I preferred Napoleon over most Total War games mostly because the slow pace forces you to plan your moves in advance and penalizing last minute decisions, which is fun imo

[@staalforsfh]

Warhammer destroyed the franchise for me. Those games are so good that I can't get back into the historical titles (and that's coming from a historian).

0:34 There’s a joke here somewhere... The irony of fearing death threats when talking about Total War... It’s not the “Reasonable Amount of War”-series...

[@kkarx]

I played Shogun 1, Rome and Napoleon. I have to say Shogun 1 had the battles that were the most fun and that were the most brutal of the three games.

[@LeTHALxHeaDBanG]

Shogun 2 is my favorite as well.

[@commandoslayer]

I bought Medieval II: Total War, Kingdoms and Empire: Total War. I regret buying Empire but love playing Medieval II: Kingdoms.

I grew up since medieval 1, spent most of my high school time and nostalgia on Rome, Medieval. Ruined my college years on Empire! (most massive scale campaign), then try Napoleon bit without sucked into. Years have passed, Im looking for a game to play and found the recent steam's giveaway, I then tried Shogun 2 for the first time, and damn! hell break loose. Turned me from a person who dont know who the F Oda Nobunaga is, into a total samurai warfare+ jidaigeki maniac. Spent 1000 hours eversince and tried all the DLC, mods, all the clan. I even listen to japanese history audiobook in background while playing Shogun 2. I'd say Medieval 2 is my personal best TW, but Shogun's is an anomaly. Idk why but somehow its brutally addicting.
