They changed dev teams. Rome was made by Aussies whereas the devs now are incompetent bongs.

This, all that Warhammer bullshit makes me mad. I don't give 2 shits about Warhammer, yet every time you Google something about Rome Total war, that bullshit pops up

Trve.

>>224929890
Original devs left ages ago and the current devs only care about squeezing money out of Warhammer fags (they will pay money for anything.) Many such cases.

>>224937101
They figured out the two types of video games that sell to the largest groups of people. Cinematic action game with Simon Says gameplay for people to gawk at photorealistic textures in, and competitive Skinner box where you press buttons to release dopamine by means of a "you win!" message.
Enthusiast products still sell but casual games dominate the market way harder than two decades ago.

>>224937291
The battles are RTS even if the rest of the game is turn-based grand strategy.

>>224940166
Another factor is that studios can't seem to make a game that doesn't have a AAA inflated budget so the only way to recoup that is by making it as casual and mainstream as possible.

there is no basebuilding in the battles, they're tactical

it's turn based strategy + real time tactics

>>224943991
>there is no basebuilding in the battles, they're tactical
No one uses this as the criteria for whether a game is strategy or tactics

>>224933631
For me it's the britons because my autistic 12 y/o ass could turtle and then march up 50 men doomstacks of highlanders and the guys throwing javelins

>>224944045
they do actually.
>strategy - resource management (gain loss), building/reinforcing units
>tactics - using a fixed set of units to accomplish an objective

in TW games battles are purely tactical, you use what you already had. this wasn't controversial 20 years ago I don't know why it suddenly is with you zoomers.

>>224944070
I don't know why you're trying to call it a generational thing when zoomers don't even play strategy games. I have never heard these definitions from anyone before.

>>224944316
it was the consensus on gaming forums back in the day if you called RTW and RTS you'd get a dozen angry autists yelling at you in no time

>>224944045
RTS has always required base building, RTT has always not had base building.
You only see conflation when the marketing team wants to claim "THIS IS A TOTAL REINVENTION OF THE RTS GUYS, WE DIDN'T PUT BASE BUILDING IN IT THIS TIME!" like in World in Conflict.

I loved RTW but let's not wear rose tinted glasses shall we?

>>224929827
Mogged by medieval 2. Map is small. Provinces are huge. Most factions are under baked, you have to slaughter your own cities after a while because discontent gets too much. Barbarian invasion is at least challenging

>>224929827
that's not shogun 2

>>224944334
So RTS = Dune II clone

>>224944536
If the ai didnt cheat it would be perfect. 1 province factions having 2 full armies makes me seethe
