"Was"?  (Sorry, couldn't resist.)  :D 


Honestly, though, I'm no better.  Despite a lifelong love of 4x and grand-strategy games (for that's what the Total War titles are, even if CA has never called them that), I remain -- at best -- only a mediocre player.  That's perfectly fine, though; it just means the AI in my games consistently provide more of a challenge.  8)
I am a very mediocre player myself....the good side is that i never get tired of most of the games i play because the normal AI is a good enough challenge for me (except the laughtable AI of Empire: Total War).

Have they ever considered a Bollywood Total War.
I'm not sure this was made in Bollywood as there is no break for a song and dance.

I must admit I am pretty meh on the ol' remaster stuff. I do not particularly recall RTW being a better gameplay experience than RTW2.

I have really enjoyed the remastered versions of the Age of Empires games.

If they remaster Medieval 2 TW I am jumping all over it too.

I actually think the RTW remaster is a bellwether to test the waters for a M2TW remaster.

I don’t know what they could do to MTW2 to make MTW3

Start charging $29.99 for it? And threaten to include more Papal Inquisitors if you don't pay.  :biggrin:

If a Medieval 2 remaster comes out before Medieval 3 does, I'm going to be...irritated.

If they do to MTW2 what they’ve done to Rome - quality of life/graphics/latest tweaks what else is there for 3

I would also like to see a MTW3 but frankly I'd love a Renaissance period release. The shift to black powder and artillery. Of course, this would require CA to actually do improved siege mechanics which might be a bridge too far.

^You and me both. I'd prefer a shift to black powder over black power but this is 2021 after all and I will just go with the flow.

By the power of edit I have no idea what you are talking about! Proof reading is much harder to do on pain meds for sure.

^Heh it will be our little secret.

But since time immemorial (2000) I have begged and pleaded for a Renaissance Total War.

There are tons of mods for the TW games that approach this, but not a dedicated game built from scratch, 1350AD-1550AD.

We may have to build it ourselves.
