Not impressed until they put every fucking thing back on text files you can edit on notepad++.
We don't need fancy map editors and mythical in-house Source engine-style tools, we need just the very *possibility* to fuck around with things in the first place. Leave it to the modders to fix your AI (as best they can), balance your factions, modify and prettify your maps, and even replicate Middle Earth as they did for M2TW. Modders are creative, they give games shelf life. Screw your expansions, I'm not paying anymore (and to think the first Shogun was the first game I ever bought for myself). Yeah, I'm still pissed their so-called map editor for Shogun 2 was just for the battle map and they still locked off the campaign map and the AI. It's great the games look better than ever and all, but wouldn't it look even better if people could use that magnificent, magnificent engine to recreate Minas Tirith or something? Not to mention, I'm wary because I'm on the historically accurate faction of CA's fanbase and had been on it since I encountered the chariot-racing Pharoahs and naked Celts in the first RTW, a game where shitty Roman equites was somehow a far better unit than proper Hellenistic hetairoi, until every big mod out there fixed it and made things right. |

The Syrian elephant that were used by post-hellenistic nations(such as:Ptolemaic, Seleucid), are though to be Indian elephant that were brought there from India. |

When Alexander the Great started his trek to the East, he came into contact with Asian Elephants and that's how they started getting integrated to various armies in the west. Carthage and other nations used a sub-species of the African Elephant which were a lot smaller and as already stated they are now extinct. On that matter CA just released a WORKSHOP for Total War Shogun II which pretty much puts it on par with Skyrim and TF2 where we can mod it and share with others. |

If cities were that big based on your improvements for it. And you're able to build siege, and spend more time in the battle screen then you are in the campaign screen. Then this will just be a masterpiece.

Rome Total War is probably one of the best game i ever played. But i hope that Creative Assembly are not digging their heel again this time, with their flagship game, RTW finally is revived for their 25th year Anniversary
What i means is: since RTW, every game after that has almost the case of same game with different skins. Medieval 2, admittedly i didn't play much, but Empire and Shogun 2..... almost all units was the same without historical feature that make them special in the first place. And hence you can easily pick out a game breaker selection to roll through the map without oppositions. Empire was by massing large number with cannon. Shogun was by having medium-size archer groups and hole into castles to lure enemy into eliminating themselves. I really hopes that they will consider these 3 points for this new RTW2, and actually evolve the Total War Series, rather than just another RTW with more stunning graphic skins:
