#TOTAL WAR WARHAMMER REGIONAL OCCUPATION SERIES#

WarhammerвЂ™s world, while still large, feels a lot more intimate, its regions a lot more connected. Its map was too big, too boring, too unwieldy. One of Rome IIвЂ™s biggest problems was the world itself. In the 2016 edition of the series, then, here are the best ways WarhammerвЂ™s chairs have been arranged: World Which is why every Total War game since the original in 2000 has stuck with it, Creative Assembly taking each new game as a chance to rearrange the deckchairs, not the deck itself. ThatвЂ™s a solid and successful formula, so best not mess with it.

Warhammer is still very much a Total War game: you direct armies and an economy from a campaign map then, when the need arises, you switch to a 3D battlefield to take direct control over your forces. This isnвЂ™t a complete reinvention of the wheel. No longer bound to recreating real places and real people, Creative Assembly have been able to experiment like never before.ДЄ lot stays the same, of course. That without the context it had founded itself upon the game would feel lost. I was worried that moving away from history would pull the rug out from under the series. This is the best Total War game in years, and I was a fool for fearing otherwise. Yet here I am, the finished product in my hand, and IвЂ™m a changed man.

TW fans, myself included, go as nuts about a gameвЂ™s setting as they do the game itself, and seeing the series walk away from the real world was a blow.

The move to WarhammerвЂ™s fantasy world was seemingly getting rid of a big part of Total WarвЂ™s appeal: the history.

I did not have the best time with the last Total War game, Rome II, finding it to be a bloated, soulless affair that undid much of the good work Creative Assembly had done with Empire and Shogun.

Here, prior to last week, were my thoughts on Total War: Warhammer:
