![]() The ones I've never played (or at least no more than a turn or so): I don't own the newest one, Three Kingdoms, but you can check out the thread on it here. So, out of the ones I've played: Shogun II is the best, Rome II is the easiest and most colorful, Attila is the most atmospheric and difficult, and Warhammer is the only fantasy entry but otherwise feels like a hybrid of Rome II and Attila. ![]() It's also the only one I've won, playing as the Wood Elves, because they have a pretty short campaign. Just don't get discouraged when the game suddenly pulls an enemy doomstack out of nowhere and smashes you up - this is the only Total War I've seen the Game Over screen in, because it can surprise you instead of a losing campaign being obvious a ways away. The setting is a bit of a throwback in tone and mood to when Warhammer Fantasy was less grimdark and more comedic, and it works wonders. Good game, overall, especially if you're looking for fantasy. It's even more streamlined and even more varied, and also can be pretty damned difficult to survive in. Total War: Warwar Warhammer II, and its expansion Warhammer I, are a lot like Rome, but more so. ![]() It's a controversial one, but if you like the idea of struggling to keep your country alive while the Huns are rampaging across Europe and the Little Ice Age is ramping up, it is a lot of fun. It's the hardest game in the series, especially if you dare try your hands as the WRE itself. Total War: Attila is the standalone "survival horror" expansion to Rome II, except they didn't call it an expansion. It doesn't quite manage to match Shogun II for fun factor, but it's a good play. ![]() It's a good game, even though it apparently was a godawful, low-quality, broken mess at launch. Total War: Rome II is very much like Shogun II, but the gameplay is streamlined and the factions much more varied. ![]() Click to expand.I've played some of them. ![]()
