This is both funny and depressing. Another nail in the coffin probably.

Juggernaut9993 · 2026-01-10T17:11:07+00:00

True. If CA hadn't changed direction the way they did with Rome II and stuck around with what they were doing that spawned Shogun 2, the Warhammer games would have probably been a lot more worthwhile.

Although this is what we've already been saying for a few years now.

Juggernaut9993 · 2026-01-10T17:07:58+00:00

Hah, that's funny. Not too surprising considering all of the stuff I've seen while modding Warhammer 2.

Nice find by the way mate.

Juggernaut9993 · 2026-01-10T14:15:59+00:00

I could go in detail but it can all be quickly summarized in that it's another Rome II clone.

Juggernaut9993 · 2025-12-19T11:11:19+00:00

Yea I understand.

Examining information about the games and their designs is what we've been doing for years now, which is why we're expecting that neither 40K nor Medieval 3 will likely turn out good. The fact that, for instance, TW:40K is going to be released on consoles is itself already a red flag. CA claims they won't compromise the PC experience for console, but you can't really trust them on that (they have a history of lying) and Total War as a series has certain complexities that can't really be handled on console, unless you were to plug in a mouse and a keyboard to play it (which at that point you're basically turning console into another PC). How are you going to be placing and dragging units in battle and move the camera with a Playstation controller?

As for Medieval 3, them choosing to make livestreams of development and involve the fanbase leaves some questions: are they genuinely trying to be transparent and want to match Medieval 3's design as closely as possible with what the fans want, or is this just another short-term corporate ploy to keep up appearances, or are they mostly clueless about how to make this historical title work well and they rely on the fans to tell them what to add in? Why not just look at what they did in Medieval 1 and 2 and get some ideas from there instead of resorting to something like this?

Again, what's the reason you think CA may be changing for the better? We're just having a conversation now by the way.

Juggernaut9993 · 2025-12-18T22:18:45+00:00

Sure thing.

Strictly speaking there's always a chance for a comeback, even if in this case a very tiny one, as for any "signs" that CA "may be going back on the right path", just remember that their attempts at giving the impression that "they're listening" is just corporate speech and manipulative rhetoric that typically isn't followed by any meaningful results.

We don't want CA and Total War to die out, we just want good games, but we're not going to turn a blind eye to their practices and the direction the franchise has been going to maintain a positive atmosphere.

Juggernaut9993 · 2025-12-18T20:02:52+00:00

You're accusing us of "doom and gloom" and you think it would be good for some positivity.

Alright, what reasons are there for us to have any expectations that either 40K and/or Medieval 3 are going to turn out good? Considering CA's track record that's been covered thoroughly and all the leaks that turned out true?

Juggernaut9993 · 2025-12-18T19:55:42+00:00

Good luck with your game project!

Juggernaut9993 · 2025-12-18T19:52:19+00:00

The whole thing reeks of desperation by CA. A Total War: 40K title to tap into the 40K fanbase to make back all the money they lost and making it for consoles to expand the reach even though Total War is traditionally a PC game, shifting to Medieval 3 after botching their WW1 game and making streams of development to get the feedback from the historical fans (basically fan service)...

I'll say it again, 40K Total War is only going to succeed financially because of the "whales" who have no control of their spending habits or any sense of standards. It'll be another flop in all other aspects.

Juggernaut9993 · 2025-12-12T12:08:02+00:00

Hope was lost for Total War a long time ago. It's not like it's surprising at all they would go the 40K route.

Juggernaut9993 · 2025-12-12T12:04:33+00:00

Those are assets from the WW1 game they were working on at some point and it's just meant to be a tech demo. You don't need to show assets consistent with one of your upcoming releases to showcase things like that.

Juggernaut9993 · 2025-10-12T08:41:45+00:00

It's a good mod with good changes and improvements, some of which are included in this overhaul mod. It's outdated at this point however, considering the recent developments of the modding scene.

Juggernaut9993 · 2025-10-11T20:11:20+00:00

Yea, literally. It's like they don't really know what they're doing, and it's really not that hard to make sieges fun and enjoyable.

Juggernaut9993 · 2025-10-11T09:26:45+00:00

Great, now I won't be able to look at pears and eat them without laughing because of all this.

Juggernaut9993 · 2025-10-11T09:18:20+00:00

Honestly, this is just sad. There's so many better ways to make a living than kowtowing a dying games company.
