Napoleon: Total War

I just think TW should stick with hand-to-hand combat eras. You have so many options with your units - spears, swords, axes, pikes, halberds, archers, scout cavalry, heavy cavalry, archer cavalry, different armor types, various artillery - as opposed to - guns and artillery. Each faction fought with a different style. Playing as Turks was very different from playing as Spain, which was very different from playing as England.

They need to redo Rome or Shogun TW imo. But the way they're heading they'll make an WWI trench warfare game. :(

It hasn't been touched because a WWI game would be terrible. It'd just be sitting in a trench all day - get out of the trench - you die - game over.

Pretty much. It'd consist of firing artillery at a series of trenches for four hours (real time) then sending your troops 'over the top' at walking pace to capture said trench. You either get cut to shreds taking the trenches or die in the ensuing counter attack. If you do keep the trench you do it ALL over again on the next set of trenches.

Sounds fun.

The only thing that's pissing me off so far is that the unit packs aren't available on steam yet. I preordered the Imperial Edition on steam so that I'd have access to the Royal Scotts Greys unit and the Heroes of the Napoleonic Era unit pack. But the Elite Regiment unit pack is only available if you purchased a boxed copy and there's nothing on steam yet. Goddamnit.

That's another horrid thing they're starting to do - charge for specific units. I'm supposed to pay $5 for a unit that I might not even like or is the exact same as another unit with only more morale and different art? The TW series is a sinking ship imo.

    • I think the same thing, they don’t have any better options especially since Christiansen is out for the year 
    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
