This is one of the most perfect announcement ever. Not only because this is what i always wanted to play, but also the "historical" nerds at forum are shitting bricks now and their tears are like morning dew to me. The only things souring it are the Medieval III announcement earlier and the fact my computer will die from it.
History is lame compared to Warhammer anyways.
XD
Though i meant something else, Total War warhammer is most diverse setting, with tons of different units, aesthetics, mechanics and whatnot. Historical TW games are pretty bland in comparison.
I understand why the historical fans were upset when Warhammer took over, but I think it's only because CA kinda sucks at what they do and only captures so many fans because of having no competition. There are bugs in Warhammer 3 that have been there since Warhammer 1 and 2, and one right now that causes the AI to literally just sit in their capitol and do nothing. If CA were more competent and could be relied upon to make good decisions about their historical games (not like the 3K DLC problems), I think historical fans would be able to view the massively more popular fantasy games as subsidizing their niche, which is cool and good.
It sounds like Medieval 3 is literally just starting development though when Three Kingdoms came out in 2019, and I believe Troy and Pharoah were made by a different "eras" team, so what the heck have they been doing this whole time? Working on that clearly stupid Hyenas game?
Then there's me, who has played every Total War game regardless of time period/setting to get immersed in whatever cultures exist there.
