Total War peaked with Decisive Battles on History Channel

Bought the remastered version about a year ago and it was fine, but I remember there being some shit about it being bad on release or whatever.
Doesn't matter now but I am curious what that was about.
>>

The original game was a PC game
The “remaster” was a cell phone game
>>
>>2493507
What? They played the exact same.
Feels like people just fell for shitposting then.

>What? They played the exact same
I disagree, the remaster felt extremely off and wrong to me, to the point that I quickly refunded it.
>Feels like people just fell for shitposting then.
I made up my own mind about the game simply by playing it, not reading anything about it. In fact, when I later read anons saying it was a mobile port I thought they were taking the piss because it’s such a ridiculous idea, but if you look it up it’s true

What's cell phony about the remaster?
>>
>>2493503
It's the most modifiable total war game ever and we will never see another game that comes close to it ever again. My conspiracy theory is that most complaints about it were planted by CA themselves to convince people that the old games weren't actually that good and they should just keep buying their shitty $20 "The X and the Y" dlcs for warhammer.

Before REX yeah it was true. The UI was geniunely ugly to look at and the modding thing was not until months after launch. At launch it was barely better modding wise than the OG RTW, alongside the mostly same AI. With CA going back to old titles, I wish they'd let Feral go back to the remaster and fix up the AI, bugs and make game more moddable comparable to REX.

Anywho, excited for RTR update, should get a new dev blog this week. Hopefully showing off the late republic armies, and get a release date.

I know that the legion's equipment wasn't as uniform as in films etc. but that looks just ridiculous. What is that? A baguette armor?

Yeah I'd be curious to see where their historians got that from. Never seen it depicted before in Roman media. I should probably ask in their discord. Also release in 2 months! I'm hype.

God remember when the History Channel actually had history on it and not just Ancient Aliens.
What the actual fuck happened in the 00s to cause that. 9/11?
That was when I knew we were fucked.

>I'll leave it to @Historians to give a fly-in here but I believe they are all Pre-Augustan, which have not been shown much in media (likely cause they still look a bit more ragtaggy than what we associate with the neat and orderly Romans :clifford:


>For example the legionary relief from Estepa, dated to the 1st century BC, recognisable via the Coolus Mannheim type helmet.
>We chose to use it for legions Caesar levied from his own pocket from his provinces/Gaul. the Roman legions from Italy will be all mail
