Empire at War is a viable alternative while you wait for this.

And then there's Sins of a galactic empire mod for sins of a solar empire

So many great mods for it and now is 64 bit

I wish Empire of War had quicker AI turns. It’s my favorite one but you spend so much time waiting for AI turns to complete.

Oh man, a Total War: Lord of the Rings could be pretty badass.

There's a fantastic LotR total conversion mod for TW: Rome. It was also ported to RW: Rome Remastered, so very easy to play even on modern hardware.

EDIT: Search for Lord of the Rings: Total War (Remastered) for the most recent version of the mod.

Also Divide and Conquer for TW: Medieval 2 is goddamned amazing

This sounds awesome. I enjoyed TW:WH quite a bit; their model works very well for non-historically-accurate settings, and I'd love to see them do more of these.

I don't know if they could do a non single world map. Or trust them anymore to make a good game(or bug free)

I'd be willing to bet that they are doing this to prepare for an eventual Total War : Warhammer 40K.

Hopefully it'll be an improvement on Force Commander

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Been a while since I've seen that name. One of a long line of very meh Star Wars games.

Rancors are the new elephants

[–] Jimmyeatsausage 2 points 7 months ago

Gotta release a bunch of burning ewoks to scare em and start a stampede...

[–] ramenshaman 1 points 7 months ago
