And everything on the campaign map pushes you towards the battles the series is so well known for.

City management is, as mentioned, well balanced. Optimization is (for a Total War game) incredible. On the one hand, they have everything really streamlined and tightly balanced. Hoping they cover the game on 3MA this week.Ī few hours into a dwarven campaign. But Rob's write up on the game with early impressions already had him feeling like the strategy portion was over simplified and didn't work as he got further in. I think this appears to be a game that could make a great first impression through your first hours with it too because the battles seem better and there seem to be some changes on the strategy layer. I agree on reviews too, which is why I'm waiting for some 3MA coverage. There's constant fudging going on with the AI following different rules than you and diplomacy never works as it should. I think the AI and strategy layer are way past their expiration date. I agree on them really losing their way since that game. I'm waiting on this one though - I just don't have any faith in the studio or the reviewers who will gladly give a AAA strategy title a 9/10 after an hour with it. I've bought every TW game since Shogun 1 was first released. Their emphasis now is purely on spectacle, cinematics, hawking DLC etc and they seem to have given up on the notions of realism, strategy, simulation and competent AI. I just think CA have gone way off the boil since Shogun 2.
