Editing Total War

Total War is a wargame franchise based on movement of groups of units on a battlefield map, and maneuvering armies in an overlay map. In many ways the series is reminiscent of tabletop wargames, which has made it a popular subject for discussion on [[/tg/]]. 

Note that due to being a huge participant in the DLC craze, as well as the...''lackluster'', let's say, quality of some entries in the franchise the game has become quite [[Skub|Skubby]] in many circles, although when detractions are brought up others are quick to claim modding makes up for it, others say any game you have to mod is shit, which prompts references to games like [[Fallout]] and [[Vampire: The Masquerade]], which results in the reply that those games are bad as well and since Medieval II is a better game that means Total War is by default objectively bad, which is when the conversation [[Fail|devolves into namecalling and Warhammer 40k reaction images]]. Yeah...

===Shogun 2===
Shogun 2 takes place in Medieval Japan during the Sengoku period, although an expansion called Fall of the Samurai places players in the era of the Meiji Reconstruction. 

Many see Shogun 2 as the last subjectively good 

A tabletop game quite similar to Shogun 2 is [[Kensei]].

===[[Total War: Warhammer]]===
A [[Warhammer Fantasy]] Total War game (nicknamed Total Warhammer by fans, even before the game was officially announced). Due to the debacle and shitstorm that was and is [[End Times]] and [[Age of Sigmar]], many Fantasy fans heralded the game as the last great stand of Warhammer Fantasy. That is, until the [[Chaos]] faction which had been previously promised to be core to the game was announced to be DLC, and the reveal that the preorder was full of [[Dwarfs (Warhammer Fantasy)|Dorf]] goods. Que butthurt on the part of Chaos fans, and triumphant glee from the long-suffering Dwarf fans.
