    Why did they stop with the historical realism?

    Rome 1, Medieval 2, Empire, Samurai 2 are all incredibly fun games for me to this day.

        if I had a computer that could run a game made in the last ten years I’d try it I suppose.

        But I feel like half my interest in history came from playing these games and AoE 1+2

        They made a playable Warhammer game and I bought it. I have no regrets.

        Their 5000 man Battle of Waterloo was a little absurd, wasn't it. Still fun though.

        As ever we wait in hope for a Paradox/Total War mashup (there was an attempt in the early-mid 2000s but the name escapes me.)

          I'm more of a fan of Dynasty Warriors historically accurate battles in ancient China of Lu Bu with 60 troops annihilating 7000 enemies

        A total war like game with 50k soilders and sprite graphics would be awsome

        Also more accesoble to people now that processors are cheap and vidoeocards are expensive as hell

      they didn't. there's a lot of speculation on the next historical title, but of course the fantasy ones just sold buckets. their physicality combined with warhammer fantasy fans being so thirsty for content was a winning formula.

      Eh, I think they just wanted to start having fun and getting funky with it. The newer historical titles Three Kingdoms and Troy have mythologized campaigns as well.
