Just looking at recent instalments between Total War: Three Kingdom’s empire management and spying systems, or the new tactical dimension of magic and monsters in Total War: Warhammer there’s now a lot more to consider. Many of us grew up with Total War, but it can still be a struggle to appreciate how much more complicated the series has become over time. Whether that’s learning how to micromanage a huge variety of units in the chaos of the battlefield, or governing those conquests, maintaining public order and engaging in diplomacy on the campaign map.
The Total War series can be difficult games to get into.
