Creative Assembly Part 1: Opening Salvos

[FuckenCeeJay]

Give credit where credit is due. This guy did a damn good job commentating.

[PlayItRough09]

This guy seems to be using "This in Turn" instead of Khails classic 'Cleverly Titled'.

[LarsWS]

Hmmm. Centurion: Defender of Rome also had troop morale. Wasn't that much earlier than total war?

[apple3346004]

YYYEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH­H!

[Darkninja0214]

[arek314]

@Darkninja0214 it was pretty much as in the video - nothing before could compare to Shogun:Total War.

[Darkninja0214]

If anyone played this game, how is it?.

[king0stuffz]

[rey132011]

i really love RTW it's the best game the creative assembly had done until now i'm sorry that i can't play napoleon total war on my PC just on my brother's laptop but its still good very good

[SuperMrjoaquim]

@rey132011 RTW is not only the best game that Creative Assembly had done but the best strategy game ever. I still play it!!!

[rey132011]

@SuperMrjoaquim me too i have the other games from the total war series but i mostly play RTW

[rey132011]

if you are interested to see some battles reconstitution watch my channel i have the battle of marathon from the history channels series Battles BC and i will post more soon

[Uberjetsu]

Total War is my favourite RTS series of all time :D SHogun out in MARCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[krizaurban1]

this guy sounds like ryan reynolds

[mrshakad]

you know now that i think about it was the other guys voice was why i liked this

[JoonStudios]

I like the cleverly titled guy more.

[topgear93]

@JoonStudios I think someone killed him because of that

[microwaveo1]

lol we think the other guy is better but we hate him say cleverly titled ironic isn't it?

[JoonStudios]

@microwaveo1 He doesn't say it anymore, I think.

[Johnnyboyinthehouse]

seems easy to get the attention of EA....

[pwner347]

love the creative assembly

[robertkrosl]

The other guys is better....

[Hiimurmomma760]

rob is coooooooooooooooooooleerrrr

[serzh123aaa]

What kind of graphics card do you need to play napoleon total war on high graphs?

[axiumvids]

@serzh123aaa fyi this is a real time strategy and most RTS games need a HIGH graphics card. idk howmuvh but alot trust me mate.

[ELcapalla2]

"Do you want Total War????"

-Joseph Goebbels.....lol

[TheVistaMaster]

I GOT MEDEVIAL TOTAL WAR,

[SashimiForAll]

WHAT ABOUT STARCRAFT?!

[BisayaBoii]

@SashimiForAll What about Starcraft? Starcraft and C&C are RTS games while Total War is an RTT game.

In this genre there is literally no competition and Total War makes the best RTT games to date.

[SashimiForAll]

@BisayaBoii In the video he said RTS though, just wondering what is RTT? I usually don't like games like Total War where it requires little micro.

[BisayaBoii]

@SashimiForAll And I'm tired of games such as Starcraft which requires so much micro and fast reactions.

RTT means Real Time Tactical. Search it in Wiki. They require much more strategy to play than you're average RTS.

[SashimiForAll]

@BisayaBoii I mean, I'm not trying to diss Total War or anything, but imo, StarCraft requires more Macro and Micro.

[BisayaBoii]

@SashimiForAll That's an almost impossible concept. RTS are usually only micro.

I'll put it in simpler terms:

Micro= lots of mouse clicking, smaller scheme, cities/skirmishes

Macro= less mouse clicking, grander scheme, countries/battles

Micromanagement requires a lot of fine tuning precise actions.

Macromanagement requires less fine tuning and actions don't need to be as precise.

Since TW is a hybrid of RTT/TBS it has both micro/macro. However SC a traditional RTS is micro only.

[BisayaBoii]

@SashimiForAll Have you played Total War's TBS campaign? Any game with TBS is the definition of macromanagement such as Civilization.

SC requires a lot and I mean a lot of micro. Standard of any RTS game. Lot's mouse clicking.

A game having more micro or macro doesn't make it any better than the other it's simply a different way of playing.

You're comparing two games from different genres. There's no point.

[i0hate0this0place]

the puns for the little intros are getting old and predictable... i say quit while your ahead.

[PinmanX]

Lol everybody hated the other guy for the "cleverly titled" saying and now they want him back! What irony lol.

[NeouxTW]

Total war series is the best series in the history of strategy gaming.

And my personal favorite in all of gaming.

[TheBlenderblob]

weres the old guy

[lefredvoncarstein]

"They now realized they had they opportunity now, to make something truly first-rate, so long as they didn't rush it."

...

Fuck you, CA. Fuck you very much.

[TheGeekful]

I wish they would would make there own channel not Machinima

[lefredvoncarstein]

@TheGeekful Yeah I wish they could make their own channel so I could tell them exactly how hateful they are.

[TheGeekful]

@lefredvoncarstein

How are they hateful?

[adisor906]

[maximillion0]

[AzzzMonkey27]

[Tarkess]

[THEJ3RM101]

this guy sounds like a boring nerd...bring back the exciting sounding nerd

[EricDutemple]

they should make a shogun 2 since its that game that made them.

[lankyGigantic]

old presenter was much better D:

[Mythification]

Myth and Ground Control made 3D RTS games long before Total War.

[REDDAWNproject]

true, but the 4x RTS hybrid was pioneered by these guys

[Mythification]

That is of course true :)

Personally I love all of the named games =)

[DominoChild]

This game actually looks pretty sick.

[SandOprods]

it sounds like a diffferent guy.

[lulzcoaster]

Rome TOTAL WAR IS THE BEST PC GAME EVER MADE

[AlienTechProductions]

@lulzcoaster

BULLSHIT

Napoleon is the bets now.

[SuperJojo50]

get the other narrator

[jaredslayer47]

I miss the other narrator :(

[1bam18]

@jaredslayer47

It's the same dude :S

[jaredslayer47]

Are you deaf?

[1bam18]

@jaredslayer47

Yes im TOTALLY deaf if I can hear him. No he sounds like the old old one from early season 1.

[vegito2048]

Age of Empires was the only strategy game I played n really liked oh and Battle for Middle Earth Total war is a good game but I'm not a tactical person :(

[neorade]

where is the second half of this?

[GH2champ16]

Its not on youtube yet

[axelivanhernandez]

Bring the other dude...this guy has a "boring" voice, no much of excitement!

[deyarts]

I like the old guy's voice better

=\

[crofud]

@deyarts, I completely agree with u, this guy is bleh.

[themegagamesgamer]

Wha? am I saying this right?

I dont like this guy I like the other guy better

[rbrtchng]

I dont like Total War games. There are almost no strategy to the battles. It's almost entirely just high ground and flanking and rock/paper/scissor. Not my cup of tea. But it's pretty cool how it was meant to be a CnC clone.

[JodaSFU]

No strategy? So there's no strategy involved when an army of 60 Peasants and 60 Sherwood Archers beat a Mongol force of appr 400?

[rbrtchng]

not beyond the idea of flanking, high ground, and rock/paper/scissor. I'm talking strategy like tech tree, build order, micro management, macro management, economy, etc. When you're in battle, TW doesn't have any of that.

[Sh0nin]

What game does?

[rbrtchng]

Age of Empires 2, Starcraft, Red Alert 1/2, Supreme Commander, etc. Almost all other RTS have that.

[Molo9000]

@rbrtchng

neither the campaign map nor the real time battles of the TW series are better than other games on their own.

Civilisation or the the Europa Universals series are far better in terms of turn based strategy and the real time battles in the newer TW games (medieval 2 and empire) suffer a lot from bad AI.

What's great about the TW series is the mix of both.

I think Rome:TW and Barbarian Invasion are by far the best games in the series.

[rbrtchng]

Yeah, I get that. Personally, I don't see it that way. I don't see it as a combination of 2 strategy types loosely to make a great experience. I just see 2 loose strategy types. Glass is half empty for me. But honestly, if someone else made this style, Civ + CnC, but with Civ level of macro, and CnC level of micro, that'd be one badass game. It wouldn't be nearly as realistic as TW games, but to me, sometimes realism isn't better than arcade style.

[bobboob2952]

Those features wouldn't make sense in terms of the scope of the game. During the battle sequences, you are supposed to be the general, who can only see the battlefield and order troops. It's much more realistic that way, because many of the staples of the RTS genre just wouldn't make sense in real life.

[rbrtchng]

Yeah, TW is a simulation of real warfare, which is the part that I don't really like. I prefer being able to direct individual units precisely. I prefer to be able to order all of my units to their death, and they'd obey unquestioningly. I prefer a more confrontational strategy rather than a more positional strategy. You're totally right though, RTS conventions don't work in real life situations, which is what TW is. I just don't like that, it cuts too many strategies.

[JodaSFU]

That is the entire point of the campaign map. It has all of that.

[rbrtchng]

Not really. In terms of campaign map, it's not as well developed or has as much depth as Civilization games, and in terms of battles it doesn't have as much depth as Starcraft. I know that this sort of RTS elements are not realistic, but for me, I'd rather have an RTS than a realistic battle.

[rbrtchng]

it doesn't have micro management, macro management (ie. building placement for multiple "cities" or controlling multiple control groups from different parts of the map), build order, etc.

[ELcapalla]

there is micro managing in the games, especially playing online and having a lot of soldiers in a battle and having to control them when they are far apart

[rbrtchng]

nah, to me, micro management is like able to control every single unit. I understand that this is a simulation of real warfare, which is cool. It's just not my cup of tea. I like my units to obey my orders to the death.

[ebtricks]

Pathetic comment. Tactically few other RTS's are better. So go enjoy primitive overhead RTS's like Command and Conquer.

But you know what's funny? Shogun was better than Command and Conquer.

[rbrtchng]

Right, because your opinions invalidate everyone else's. You're always right, and everyone else's opinions don't matter. People who prefer a more RTS arcade tactics to real-time warfare are just wrong. You're so full of shit.

[ebtricks]

It figures the little whiny troll pulls out the "OWPENUIN!" gem.

Honestly, I'm talking facts. There are very few RTS games that exceed Total War tactically. That is true, there are very few realistic, real-time tactical RTS's that rival Total War.

Also, you can bring your "but it's my owpenuin" shit anywhere else but here, where there are huge Total War fans. You're just looking to piss some people off for the sake of being a prick.

I don't go on AOE videos and bash the game, so fuck off.

[rbrtchng]

You're kidding right? I've just named tons of strategy elements that TW lacks that almost every other RTS has. Not to mention I don't really see any elements that TW has that other RTS doesn't have better. And the real prick is the one who spells "owpenuin" like a retard. So you're talking facts when you just said "Shogun was better than CnC?" I don't see that as a fact.

[ebtricks]

Are we talking strategy, or are we talking military tactics? Because apparently you don't know the difference.

Compare Total War to any other RTS and which resembles a REAL battle the most? Total War. It's authentic, its tactical, and it combines elements in a game that few others can rival.

Shogun was better. It was more innovative, it had more scale, and it was far more tactical.

Now go scheme out a military strategy for a cartoonic army.

Oh, and by the way, I was mocking your stupidity.

[rbrtchng]

Still, you don't name anything. Exactly what elements in TW that are not done better than other RTS. Exactly what military tactics are you talking about?

[ebtricks]

Read the other guys comment.

[Tviewen]

noooooz that is my history!!!!

[ipokedeadsquirrels]
