I'm a trailblazing gameplay purist that's not happy unless I'm breaking new ground - deep-diving untapped possibility spaces. I did perfect full runs (longplays) of games and built my reputation for being uniquely hardcore with those. I then began focusing entirely on making emergence-discovering skillshows with Dishonored and Far Cry, spawning the immersive sim skiller movement. I'm currently back to mastering tactics games like Men of War and Total War, pushing their systems to the absolute limit.

The Battle of Stirling Bridge - Medieval 1: Historical Battles
Another ambitious run. This time I'm taking on the only challenge I had problems with when I first started playing Med1. I've now mastered it and here are the results.

The 'Rome Total War' LEAKS

Some information from sources together with the fabled Rome Total War Game Design Document circa 2002.

LEAKED: Total War’s Total Decline - Developer Exposé
I know those videos are 10 years old and yet i enjoy the hell out of them.
Rome 2 must not have even been bootable if this manure is considered underrated in comparison. -AI offers zero legitimate challenge and cheats like crazy to cover for it -Mechanics aren't explained properly or make no sense at all -Campaign characters don't follow orders, constantly attempt to negate your decisions & appointments -Units in battle don't follow orders -Units inexplicably cancel all movement orders if just one man in the unit is attacked -Cavalry doesn't retreat properly after charging -Units don't pursue fleeing enemies -Balance is laughable: a 480-man volley can't kill one swordsman, yet an arrow tower kills one every second -Visuals are unremarkable despite the game running like a brick -Crashes very frequently No aspect of this game is enjoyable. It's legit one of the worst I've ever played in 30 years. After watching some of your videos and attempting to play this mess, I'm frankly surprised this studio is even still in business; it's obvious that anyone with any competence left some time ago. Hopefully they just go bankrupt soon and put TW out of its misery.
i never got anything out of attila either, but i never tried very hard. even the framerate was terrible. pretty much gave up when i realised id never be able to micro anything due to the lag.
Warhammer 3's team really needs to hire a new sound department.
i think yari samurai most under rated
We could have had a game inspired by The Expanse and this is what we got instead?!? AAaaaaaAaaaAaaaaa
These bootlegger Neo Total War shills you mention are cringe to the bone, and help to sink Total War.
small but peak franchise
Have you played Imperial Glory?
One looks like a stat change while the other is actual game design
I was wondering what I was doing wrong for my cavalry to be fleeing after 20 seconds of combat against archers that they'd just charged from the rear. Good to know the new TW stuff is just shit. Guess I'll go back to M2 or find something else.
100%. the games are absolute crap for the past 10y.

You eblan?
Saw a video on a reconstructed sling of this era. On release of the bullet there’s a loud crack because the released end of the rope is breaking the sound barrier. Now imagine hundreds of slingers, it would sound like modern gunfire.
