What are these niggers going to make after they've milked the fantasoys dry?

Ever since they licensed the warhammer IP, every historical title has tried to pander to the toypainting fags with single entity units, magic powers, and adding mythological units. And every time it fails because the toypainters are too autistic to try anything new and history chads are too high IQ to be tricked into playing mythology inspired, character driven slop pretending to be historical.

Is it finally over for CA? Last I heard, they are making a sequel to that weird 70s sci fi game that bombed.

40k

So indentured servitude to GW paying a licensing tithe forever?

is either that or Star Wars

Pharoh and Troy started out completely historical, both bombed because histcukcs have always been a minority and once most players had fantasy, there is no going back to spearmannii v spearmannii.
3k was also a roaring success until CA offended uncle Xi by mentioning the 8 prince time period, so its not like they can't make other successful games, jut never pure history again.

But yeah, I think pretty much everyone knew after TWW was so hugely successful (on a shoestring budget for much of its life too, thanks to hyenas) that there was always going to come a reckoning once III was done.

they tried doing their own thing again with pharaoh and they got the message loud and clear

Yes. All while making a shitload of money off of that ip. Truly a terrible fate.

They haven't done a pure history mainline title since Rome 2 (which beat warhammer 1 in initial sales), you fucking retard.

Attila: character sloppa

ToB: a saga

3k: chinkshit character sloppa

Troy: A saga and character sloppa

Pharaoh: character sloppa and a saga in all but name

>Attila: character sloppa

You have not played it. It's literally just Rome II but order upkeep as a focus with dozen of upturns to fuck you over. If Atilla is a character sloppa then by extension so is Rome II.

Total War: Warhammer 40,000
Unless they fuck it up majorly, it's going to be even bigger than TW Warhammer fantasy

servitude

Nigger, do you realize how money it's made for both GW and CA? It's mutually beneficial relationship. Both want more of it

Only in the sense 3k was historical. Those games still heavily focuses on Characters sone if whom can solo enemy armies. Though now Pharaoh Dynasties is much better in regards to feeling like a historical title.

They need to go back into gunpowder. Imagine

Total War: Thirty Years' war

Conquistador: Total War

(Taiping rebellion) Total War

(WW1) Total War (with post-WW1 conflicts like Russian civil war, Irish Independent, German internal conflicts etc)

Total war medieval 3

Mix it up with feudalism mechanics
Now it's not just about map painting, you have to fight for your liege and rebelling vassals, and your personal domain is highly customizable but limited in size

Everyone will hate it, but it will be kino

no, 40k is better suited for the wargame formula

huge maps

air layer

combined arms

point based army builder

tfw CA will not honour the legacy of med2 and med3 will barely be moddable

medieval 3

if it flops like every historical setting TW game since Warhammer 1 then its literally over for them.
I expect 40k

Next is another fictional setting probably, since it's far better suited to a video game than historical realism. Since they're already doing WH shit, moving to 40k would be an incredibly obvious step to take. Still that would likely require including both planets and space in some way so it may be too complicated for CA to revamp their shit to support it.

They will continue to make flashy bing bing wahoo for the retarded masses.That is enough for the souless creatures flashy colours and da big dinos for big boys.Future for all games really we need the wide audience for da big profits for mister Goldstein.

at least there are no black people in this game

I always knew that the term sloppa was specifically invented for and posted by legitimate retards

/thread

Cool (and incorrect) story volund.

Taking pointers from Dynasties could be decent. I like how that game escalates to a "second phase" when you unite your initial Kingdom and then have to fight the other big Kingdoms. I think the games have to drop pretending the AI is playing the same game as the player and should instead focus in providing a more "curated" challenging and fun strategy problem.

There are 3 options for CA

make a new engine

Not gonna happen after they sank over 100mln into Join the ACK.

find another fantasy IP to leech

The thing is, there aren't many popular high fantasy IPs that fit into what they do with Warhammer.

make something else

Again SEGA won't let them.
I fully expect them to make Warhammer 4 because they don't really have any other option.

Total War: Warhammer 40,000

Unless they fuck it up majorly...

If they are smart enough they won't even try 40k, cause they will fuck it up.

To elaborate: recently there was game breaking bug with "fire at will" feature. Sometimes units refused to shot unless given direct orders. CA claims that they fixed most cases of this bug. However this claim also means that some instances of this bug are still there. And since for whatever reason they can't fully fix it, I conclude that their current engine is in agony asking for sweet relief of death

Make it so you can physically design the castle defenses, strong hold style minister in the game

Lmao they will be closed once the WH3 DLC milk cow is dried up.
They don't have the resources to make a setting where guns actually work.

get exited for a new product

Sieges are still shit and it's most of the game. I have no faith they can do 40k properly.

I'm surprised there's few TW clones.

would

There's good reason to believe a 40K TW would play differently from most TWs to date.
I don't think they'll be doing siege warfare. You'll still assault and take over locations but it won't be besieging due to the nature of modern/futuristic warfare

Medieval 2 is just as shitty and broken as modern TW just in different ways.

You lost. Get over it

Age of Smigmar, but personally I want to see DUNE

40k would require a new engine by necessity. Sure some retards might eat up watching Space Marines walk in a rectangle but for everyone else it won’t feel like 40k.
It’ll have to be a completely new kind of game, even if it’s still called Total War

Hey, retard, the guy wasn't asking your opinion he was stating what is factually confirmed to be the next big Total War.

Dune doesn't have enough faction diversity for them to leech long.

Pharoh and Troy started out completely historical

Neither started out completely historical, but Pharaoh got more historical with the Dynasties rerelease and gained a higher player count from it.
