This update also removes integrated chat from the game. Please read below for more information. Message regarding the removal of integrated chat We appreciate the frustrations expressed by our community regarding the recent removal of integrated chat from our titles. Keeping our players safe when engaging with our games is extremely important to us. To reduce the risk of players abusing the system and partaking in concerning and harmful behaviour, we have disabled the in-game chat functionality and instead recommend using dedicated third-party platforms like Discord, which offer enhanced moderation and safety measures. The official Total War Discord server is also a great place to meet other Total War players - both for multiplayer sessions and general chat - and to utilise our dedicated voice channels. Additionally, we'd like to make you aware that we'll be closing several opt-in Steam beta builds for Total War: ROME II, Total War: ATTILA, A Total War Saga: Thrones of Britannia, Total War: WARHAMMER, Total War: WARHAMMER II and Total War: THREE KINGDOMS on Wednesday, 19th July 2023. Most players will be unaffected by this change, but for anyone currently using these builds, your game will automatically sync to the live build of the game allowing you to begin a new save-game and play as normal. Do you have recommendations or suggestions that could help support the communication you need in our older titles? Is there a reason why alternative solutions don't quite hit the mark for you? Share them with us, and we'll make sure the feedback is passed on to the right people.

As such, it makes sense to step back from the hustle-and-bustle of Creative Assembly's newest release and take a look instead at what's available for the studio's other mainline historical strategy games. One of my personal favourites in the series is Total War: Attila, and it's great to see how its mod scene has fermented in the years since release. When I was younger, I used to believe that a game was complete when it came out of the box. Then one day I stumbled onto the mod scene for Total War: Medieval II and ever since then what was once sacred has become profane. Now, I shout the praises of great mods from a megaphone and expect that mods will undoubtedly extend the life of many of my favourite strategy titles well past that of the vanilla version. Total War: Attila may not be the best loved out of all the historical Total War games, but it did set the stage for things to come in the Total Warhammer fantasy line. Let's take a look at some of our favourite user modifications. Read the rest of the story...

You can take your first peek at it now thanks to a public alpha released this week that will hand you control over some of the factions and let you play around with custom units that are based on the ones you'll have seen in the films. The background story of the campaign will be "accurate to the books", but could still be a while off yet. First, the team will finish off the factions and add custom settlements into the mod.  The grand strategy and large-scale battles of the Total War series make it ripe for Lord of the Rings conversions, and Rise of Mordor isn't the first to attempt it. Third Age does something similar for Medieval 2: Total War, and it does it very well (making it onto Tom's list of essential Total War mods a while back). But that game is more than 10 years old now, so I'm curious to see if working on a newer title like Attila will help create something better. You can download the alpha of Rise of Mordor from its ModDB page.

Read the whole interview here: https://www.totalwar.com/blog/update-on-historical-releasesThe most historically accurate PC gamesAug 17, 2017 - PC GamerPC games are full of arcane artifacts spurring on ancient civilizations, Nazis riding dinosaurs, and Ghandi nuking the entire planet. Historical accuracy isn’t always a priority, and even the ones that try to get it right have to take some liberties with the facts modern scholarship hands down to us to be, you know, a fun game. But there is a definite divide between games that offer a mere nod to history (or use some vague, pop culture-informed stereotype of it as a jumping-off point) and those that actually put in enough research time to get at least some of the important facts straight. It’s hard to measure a variable like “historicity” when it comes to games—and yes, that is a real word. Games that put history first tend to wind up overly complicated rather than fun, so I've highlighted genuinely great PC games that go out of their way to include some historical accuracy. In particular, I chose games that accurately and ably depict a facet of history that is often misrepresented or ignored in other, ostensibly historical games. In chronological order based on their setting, here are the most historical PC games. Screenshot via Steam user OriginalNickname Total War: Attila - Most historical game about the collapse of the Western Roman Empire  Attila pulled Total War’s tired campaign formula out of its slump and gave us a living map that portrayed the cultural, political, and environmental challenges facing Rome in her twilight years. Rather than playing into the stereotype of angry, marauding barbarians showing up out of nowhere to sew chaos, the map really put you in the middle of why these invasions were happening—the oncoming of climate change making northern regions progressively less supportive of large populations, and the migration of the Huns into Eastern Europe. It was also the first Total War game to model the fact that not all societies have permanent cities, and how tributary relationships could form between cultures as a pressure valve against open war. Assassin’s Creed series - Most historical depiction of ancient cities  There is very little about the plot of any Assassin’s Creed game that could be regarded as staunchly historical (though we do get some cool nods here and there—the Siege of Masyaf in AC1 is a thing that really happened). However, they’ve gone to great lengths to depict, in full scale, what it would be like to walk the streets of Renaissance Florence or medieval Jerusalem. From the crowds, to the architecture, to the small details, there is a lot of history to experience just by wandering the environments. My personal favorite is Revelations’ post-Ottoman-conquest Constantinople, perhaps one of the most interesting cities in world history snapshotted at one of its most interesting ages. Screenshot via Steam user Mr.Nekator Crusader Kings 2 - Most historical modeling of medieval Western European politics  W...These four famous battles would be perfect for Total War SagasAug 10, 2017 - PC Gamer Art by Peter Dennis Creative Assembly recently announced Total War Sagas , a spin-off series meant to “focus on a specific point in history, as opposed to an era as seen in the tentpole Total War games,” but with the same level of detail as the bigger releases. Like Fall of the Samurai or Napoleon, these aim to cover eras already touched on by Total War, but putting a particular facet of the age under a microscope or detouring from the existing timeline. It's a fantastic idea, seeing as some of the smaller and more focused campaigns for Rome II (Imperator Augustus and Caesar in Gaul, particularly) were actually much better executed than the Grand Campaign. Here are some smaller-scale conflicts that deserve their very own campaigns. The Defeat of the Cimbri, via Wikipedia The Cimbrian War Place: The Outskirts of the Late Roman Republic Time: c. 115 - 100 BCE Base game: Rome 2 The first large-scale clash between the Latin and Germanic civilizations, the two main components whose melding would eventually bring about Medieval Western Europe, took place just a generation or so before Julius Caesar set events into motion to transform the Roman Republic into an Empire. A group of tribes from the unexplored northern frontier (which the Romans would refer to eventually as Germania) appeared seemingly out of nowhere and initially struck a number of stunning blows against Rome, handing them their worst defeats since they faced Hannibal in the Second Punic War. It was only through the actions of the legendary Gaius Marius that this invasion was repelled and Rome itself was saved from sacking or possibly even conquest. If that had happened, the name Caesar would probably never have made it into the modern consciousness. The invasion also helped to inspire the Marian Reforms—Marius reorganized the army, creating the legions that would conquer much of the known world. The Roman component of this roughly 15-year campaign, which could fit well with a month-to-month turn timer, would likely focus on the character of Marius, just as some past DLC campaigns have put the lens on Caesar, Augustus, Marc Antony, or Belisarius. The Marian Reforms could be adapted into a specialized tech tree-type system, representing possibly the turning point in Roman military history. Like most great men of ancient Rome, Marius had more than just the invaders to worry about. There was plenty going on at home, and rival generals with different ideas of how to achieve victory seeking to usurp recognition as being Rome’s savior. Having allied armies that aren’t necessarily on the same page as you while fighting a common enemy could be very interesting if the AI is done well. On the barbarian side, we see a similar opportunity. While allied, the two main tribes involved in the invasion, the Cimbri and the Teutones (the latter is where the word "Teutonic" and the modern German-language name of Germany, "Deutschland," comes fro...Total War: Attila mod recreates Game of Thrones' Battle of the BastardsJan 30, 2017 - PC GamerWith Game of Thrones' seventh season fast-approaching, it's getting harder to avoid casting and story spoilers by the day. I've already re-watched season six in preparation (and will almost certainly do so again nearer the time), which is why I'm looking for other GoT-themed entertainment to quench my make-believe medieval murder fest desires.  If that's you too, you may fancy a trip to Westeros by way of Total: War Attila, as the Seven Kingdoms Development Team has updated its Thrones-inspired Seven Kingdoms mod to include the Free Folk, the Night's Watch, House Hornwood, and 15 new characters.  All of which means you can recreate that infamous Jon Snow scene in Battle of the Bastards, which is shown below around the 1.38 mark.  Here's the full list of 15 generals that the mod's Beyond the Wall update introduces: * Ned Stark; * Rickard Karstark; * Euron Greyjoy; * Greatjon Umber; * Kevan Lannister; * Loras Tyrell; * Roose Bolton; * Theon Greyjoy; * Davos Seaworth; * Larence Snow; * Styr Magnar of Thenn; * Mance Rayder; * Tormund Giantsbane; * Alliser Thorne; * Jeor Mormont; More information on Total War: Attila's Seven Kingdoms mod can be found this way—including download and installation instructions.
