It seems we're getting new AI, support for 56000 units, better animations and models, avatars or some shit like that and multiplayer modes (including 2 player campaign) from the get go.

does this have any little girls or silly hats?

if you answered no to either of them then it doesnt belong here

We had a thread about the leak a few days ago. I don't think I'll be able to enjoy a samurai game without rape.

/v/v/v/v/v/v/v/v/v/v/v/v/v/

TW is pretty stupid
post when the company that makes Men of War releases another game

Too mainstream for /jp/s tastes.

>>5278157
Well, too bad.

>>5278159
Yeah, but there's a trailer now and feature list.

Also, a Rance mod would be possible. I GUARANTEE IT.

What the fuck? They seem to be pumping out Total War games more often lately.

Empire sucked, how was Napoleon though?

>>5278166
herp
>>5278162

>>5278181
How are people still not bored with this yet? I haven't played a total war game since Rome and I still feel a little bored with it.

When I first saw this my nuts nearly exploded but then I remembered the CA have become absolute fuckups and every single game they have made since Medieval II has been a complete fuckup.

What's up with all the idiots posting /v/ threads on /jp/ today?

The weird part is they all seem to know they shouldn't have posted it on /jp/. Am I being trolled or something?

>>5278181
Haven't played it, but I heard it was better than empire, at least in AI and graphical areas. This one should be good.

fuck off

>>5278199
>Am I being trolled or something?

No, you've just spent too much time here and think you have some right to dictate what people can post on an anonymous image board.

Try getting a life, you won't get so pissed off over superficial things like this.

>>5278207
>>5278199
thanks for your support

>>5278133
So old~

But yeah awesome! I can't wait to play it. Meddival is and Napoleon are CRAP ON A STICK.

Stick to ROME AND JAPAN. Maybe china?

>One particularly novel development is the introduction of hero units. These are warriors who have perfected a fighting art and can carve their way through enemy armies without much trouble at all. Based on mythologized historical figures like the warrior monk Benkei, hero units are a nearly unstoppable force on the battlefield, capable of holding bridge crossings against entire armies, or smashing through a battle line to engage the enemy general. You can counter heroes with the right tactics, such as filling them full of arrows, or by having your own hero units engage them in duels. The development team may even consider letting players use political manipulation to sway heroes away from each other.

I don't like it.

>>5278218
Yeah, I was hoping for either Rome 2 or something like Asia Total War, not just japan.

But eh, I guess Rome 2 is coming after this one, so it's all good.

>waaah it's not related
I bet you wouldn't be bitching if it was porn.

2D porn, I mean, I'm not sick.

>>5278227
Well, in Shogun 1 we did have the Kensai unit, which was basically a hero unit, so it's nothing weird really.

And CA usually goes overboard with crazy ass units too.

Given the direction the Total War games are taking realism-wise, this will just be DURRR HURRR SAMURAI HAVE SWORDS THAT CUT THROUGH TANKS AND THE JAPANESE USED NARUTO NINJAS IN THEIR MILITARY

>>5278211
>posting on /jp/
>telling others to get a life

>>5278229
but /jp/ is for VN porn
I dont get what you mean

Sure is aspies ITT caring too much about threads they don't like

>>5278241
Who will win, Roman ninjas, or japanese ninjas?

>>5278218
It's about time they did a Three Kingdoms Total War, I say.

Or maybe even a Warring States one, I don't see that particular period covered nearly enough.

/jp/ has never cared about traditional Japan, contrary to popular belief.

Sure is derp in my hurr durr in here :3

>>5278256
Turkish ninjas.

>>5278227
>>5278257 here
Another reason to make a RoTK Total War.

>>5278264
True, but if we enjoy rance, we can enjoy this too, right?

>>5278270
>>5278257
Well, TW games are pretty moddeable, so maybe someone will make a chinese based mod.

oh boy oh boy oh boy I'm so excited!

>>5278278
nah, Rance is turn based with a simpler battle system.
And there was some sort of story to read through.
TW is just a game.

MORE INFO!

>>5278296
True, but it's lol sengoku period.

>>5278191
>>How are people still not bored with this yet? I haven't played a total war game since Rome and I still feel a little bored with it.

Even Rome got dull after a while; the game was easy and the city-building aspect was too basic to be any interesting.

The battles looked cool though.

>>5278308
Good thing modding kinda keeps the game fresh.

>>5278241
Actulally the origional Shogun was fairly accurate

>>5278336
and then they released the mongol invasion expansion

>>5278336
Except for perfect geisha assassins and kensai (or were those added in Mongol Invasion?)

>>5278367
Hey man it could've happened if it weren't for that pesky typhoon.

>>5278388
It looks like the mongols were just blow away by japan's luck.

>>5278395
It was a Wind of Change

>>5278395
That was terrible.

Holy shit. This is the greatest news /jp/ has ever brought me.

Old Kublai must've had a sinking feeling sending those troops out.

>>5278429
Hell yeah.

>>5278433
>>5278412
oh u gais

>>5278291
That white horse looks hella happy.
It's like he's not even aware he's in the middle of a war.

>>5278515
It's doing the whole HARMONY thing.

>hero units
>particularly novel development
You have GOT to be kidding.

>>5278227 One particularly novel development is the introduction of hero units.
Just hurry up and make Heroes of Might and Magic: Total War

>>5279155
I would be okay with this.

>>5278700
Well, I guess they do have a reason to do it though. I mean, their last game was about CONQUERING THE WORLD. Now it's "fight these faggots to aquire a bunch of islands"

>my face when I found out about this

If you can't tell, I'm happy.

FUCK YES. SENGOKU BASARA TOTAL WAR

/jp/ should get off their asses once this comes out and make a Rance mod. Considering all this about hero units, it could come out just fine.

>>5279511
fuck rance

Rance is a gaijin.

>>5279561
>>5279576
The fuck?
