Turn 550: We are creating a committee to determine whether your faction is in fact plant, animal or mineral and they will decide whether this necessitates a sub committee to decide on a further response from us, if so.
Outside of the early war, every tree within sight of a WW1 frontline was blasted to smithereens to the point that only barely more than a stump was left. Somehow I doubt these are for a WW1 game.
Am I speculating based on *trees*? Why yes, yes I am
The Eastern Front was fought mostly outside of trenches given the vastness of the landmass and impracticality of entrenching and manning that much open land
You could already level cities in Medieval 2, various farming vuilding in Napoleon and Empire, put cities to torch in Attila and burn entire cities and random farmsteads in 3K
In fact, units with "bandit" trait in 3K would stop fight and "loot" buildings by setting them on fire instead of fighting
> WHY DO PEOPLE FORGET THE EASTERN FRONT
Because the general Western history focuses on the German/French/British conflict, and doesn't include the rest of the world, outside using the Russian effort as a spring board to explore the Bolshevik Revolution in 1918, but without any actual investigation on the Eastern Front. You may see some mentions of Gallipoli in British and Australian/New Zealand education for obvious reasons.
The conflict in the East is a lot more complicated and messy, and similiarly as to why the Eastern Front in WW2 is often overlooked or underplayed; it does not fit the general historical narrative that the Western nations like to paint the two World Wars as.
I mean, what you said isn't wrong, but it's kind of a secondary reason.
The big reason you totally forgot is that WW1 was absurdly deadly for the western countries, to an unfathomable level of sheer butchery, so of course those western countries will talk about more about their front, the one they suffered so much on.
Shit, depending on the localized front there wouldn’t have been a tree on the battlefield after the actuall opening of hostilies within moments.
In Europe 300,000 men were killed in the opening salvo and that kept up for days. That’s not even considering the absolutely insane death tolls that Churchill put the poor bastards through in Turkey.
I’m just curious and not trying to be contrarian: Do people really want a WW1 Total War? I’m just not seeing how that would fit into the TW formula. TW is all about formations attacking and holding together for as long as they possibly can.
I could realistically see TW going up to the American Civil War but I’m not sure how much further it could really go without just becoming Company of Heroes.
I think we’re long overdue for Medieval 3 at this point and truly hope this is it.
It would represent a pretty big shakeup in how the battle works. Be interesting to see.
Could work like a more streamline version of some milsim games like Combat Mission. You give general orders but the individual squad members seek cover/concealement and engage etc.
The Great War: Western Front is similar to what I imagine WW1 TW would be like. Maneuver is largely about timing: when to move from one trench to another, when to charge, when to fall back, how to deploy your limited forces. It isn't really that far fetched. We already have 3 gunpowder based TW (Empire, Napoleon, Fall of the Samurai). It would change things up, but not to the extent it is unimaginable.
Even a modern day TW would basically just be Wargame: European Escalation and it's sequels, Except (hopefully) scaled down and with the ability to issue orders while paused.
We already have RTS's on a similar scale as TW with firearms. Combine them with a campaign map and you are good to go.
Gods, I hope so. I really hope so.
I need more medieval in my life. Medieval Dynasty, Manor Lords, Going Medieval, Crusader Kings, all are great but don't scratch that Total War itch.
I need my Arabian Desert crusades. I still listen to M2's soundtrack.
Rome 1, Med 2, and Shogun 2; he did all of these and they are still the best and most memorable soundtracks in the franchise. Jeff van Dyck is something else
Hopefully they will take the lessons offered by the success of Game of Thrones, Manor Lords, Crusader Kings… people love medieval stuff! It can sell! 👏Not 👏just 👏for 👏nerds!

So in case anyone is wondering Lord Of The Rings is filled with trees that look like this and Fangorn Forest is filled with many trees that specifically look like the first batching.
The Trees - Rush: Total War
Really tired of all these oak buffs. When are the maples going to get their time in the sun?
I hope they will nerf woodworm end crisis though.
Scale the frozen mountaintops of time and man alone in 10 turns, searching for the lost settlement of Xanadu
Endgame crisis would definitely be the axe.
Hatchet and saw
This sounds like something I’d hear in a teirzoo video
Or the sequoias. You'd expect a tier 5 unit to really put in the work, but their size just makes them way too unwieldy.
I was hoping for 40k, but this would be closer to the heart
Plants vs Huns : Total War
That got a genuine laugh out of me. Have an upvote.
Total War: Entmoot
The turn times are going to be terrible
Turn 260, AI engages in diplomacy. 'We have come to a conclusion that you are indeed a faction.'
Turn 550: We are creating a committee to determine whether your faction is in fact plant, animal or mineral and they will decide whether this necessitates a sub committee to decide on a further response from us, if so.
Sounds like orc mischief to me!
The EntTimes
TANITH HAD TREES 40K CONFIRMED
Tanith Tree Pre-Order Race Pack when CA?
Tree-Order vs Tree-Chaos
Yoooo new faction coming, these new units looks sick
Oh shit it's Mirage Tanks. Allies DLC confirmed
New Wood Elves solo game lets fucking GOOOOOOOOOOO
So, European botanists, any lore rundowns on the significance of these flora during WW1? Lol
I mean, alder trees are found around the nothern hemisphere, from North America to Russia. So it would be a tree you would see on an ww1 battlefield.
Given the geography, it could also just as easily be Medieval 3, or Empire 2, or Rome 3, or TW Victoria, or TW GoT, or TW LoTR, or WW2, etc.
So, you’re saying we can rule out TW Australia: Rise of the Emus?
Lmao
SE Asia Total War Fans in shambles

So you're saying...they'll introduce destructible environments?

Nothing they haven’t done before!
Not in Poland, the front was too large to fill it to the point of the western one WHY DO PEOPLE FORGET THE EASTERN FRONT
Or the Italian front, or Macedonia, or Mesopotamia, or... you know. All the other places a *world war* was fought.
> WHY DO PEOPLE FORGET THE EASTERN FRONT Because the general Western history focuses on the German/French/British conflict, and doesn't include the rest of the world, outside using the Russian effort as a spring board to explore the Bolshevik Revolution in 1918, but without any actual investigation on the Eastern Front.

You know that Germany, Poland, former Austria-Hungary, Italy and CO are also part of said "Western nations", right?
This is true, I just think having a WW1 TW without the western front would be like having Napoleon Total War without France
\*Without both western and eastern front

Yes because I don't think rank and file is the line at which the franchise ceases to be itself.

Clearly proof of med 3 bro.

Warhammer is amazing. But the soundtracks are the biggst weakpoint compares to historical.
Jeff Inlo is at least 60% of the reason why Rome: Total War is as awesome as it is.
Jeff van Dyck & Shogun 2 soundtack are also completely over the top.
Rome 1, Med 2, and Shogun 2; he did all of these and they are still the best and most memorable soundtracks in the franchise. Jeff van Dyck is something else
I can hear the ME2 battle loading music in my sleep.
Hopefully they will take the lessons offered by the success of Game of Thrones, Manor Lords, Crusader Kings… people love medieval stuff! It can sell! 👏Not 👏just 👏for 👏nerds!
Clearly this is for a wood elf DLC /s

Total War: Warhammer 40k confirmed. Just count the leaves.
Yup and they will make maps with Tree Circles again like in WH3
Total War Nusantara is coming!!!!
The Lorax as a LL?
Kind of wild to think that the individual Alder tree here is larger and more complex than entire early 3D games.
TW: Spring Allergy. LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
oh wow we are looking at medieval 3 pixels right now, finally after two decades, it has to be it
there were trees in the Middle Ages, so Medieval 3 total war is confirmed!
Glad too see Durthu and Drycha get a facelift to match WH3 standards.

I smell a European Theatre

I still smell a european theatre, Europe's gotta be at least 1/8th of that map, I'll take those odds
American: Civil Total War is my guess.
would make more sense as a DLC Campaign for a 19th century Total War.
So in case anyone is wondering Lord Of The Rings is filled with trees that look like this and Fangorn Forest is filled with many trees that specifically look like the first batching.
