    Yeh, reviews for 'Rome II' put me right off. I suppose it's been patched to hell and back by now though. Might give it a whirl.


    Fire up 'Medieval II' during the week and had a blast with that. Still holds up well. Can't believe that game is 12 years old! Ended up trying out the Kingdoms add on, which I never really bothered with. Played as Scotland too, for a change.


    I forgot how much of a time eater Total War games were. :D

    Total War Britannia on Steam sale for 13 Euro. Might have a punt.

    It gets a lot of ****, but it's not that bad a game. It's not great, but it's certainly worth a shot ... plus how often do you get to play as an Irish faction in a game?

    In other Saga news.

    Fall of the samurai is getting rebranded and made standalone as a Saga game, and it looks like bronze age Troy/Greece is next. Can see then doing the same with Troy for heroes as 3 kingdoms.

    I liked Alexander. That stayed fun because of the time pressure and requirement for ongoing aggressive expansion. Most of the games get really dull after a certain point.

    Wonder if they're going full fantasy or will there be a historic version too

    Bit bigger of a difference than three kingdoms as that has the same characters to an extent but still human just heroic supermen if they do have the 2 modes.

    It's a terrible trailer in all honesty. However, the big news is that this will be exclusive to the Epic Games Store for a year after launch, but it will be completely free if you claim it in the first 24 hours! (TW blog)

    When can you claim it for free?

    Can't see any mention of date that the 24hr window opens.

    I know Epic have "**** you money", but still what the hell.

    I'm not going to bother, frankly. The historical TW games have been completely unremarkable since Medieval 2. I've still not bought Three Kingdoms.

    Launch is 13th of August, so I'm assuming that's when you can claim it.

    Three Kingdoms is very good imo. I haven't been impressed with the Saga games so far, but they're done by a different team to the main historical games.

    That's going to bring their servers to their knees.

    Troy getting some DLC.

    They've been putting out a few videos with riddles in them pointing to different mythical monsters, with the community thinking it's be actual monsters or slightly mocking what non mystical creature they could be (Hydra = 3 guys on a horse).
