Well by Paradox route I meant how they handle historical genocides and the like in their newer games by just not mentioning them at all in game and banning islamophobic jokes. Though a Medieval 3 would almost certainly have like 5 factions on release with a dozen as DLC.
gods i havent touched divide and conquer in quite some time, but its most definitely kino. my time was mostly spent with gondor trying to hold back mordor. i should really get back to Med2 after this current play through of TW:W2.
Warhammer 1 and more importantly 2 finished off the historical game play after Rome 2. After a game where lords can cast spells and drop abilities and you have flying monsters, even the historical titles are now ones with fantasy or mythology infused into them - 3K and the upcoming Troy. Sure, there is still engagement with historical titles like Rome 2, but I don't ever see CA going back to pure history.
Im not just hooked to the game like crazy, im also hooked to the letsplays and faction overviews from the head of the modding team. the new version sounds sooo cool, and Corona will help make it come faster.
Tbh I'd like a new-world centered campaign where the playable factions are all pre-industrial societies where the old-worlders represent a limited-but-powerful roster (Ie being the only groups that bring gunpowder and horse units to the field initially) And the focus is on adapting their technologies and trying to stave off colonial expansion by the spanish/british/ect.
Conan actually has a fuckload of races and creatures they could use.
I think you meant to say "that's a a lot of DLC that will make the game more expensive than actual table top games".
Would it work? 40k doesn't have the rank and file of Fantasy which fits Total War. Maybe if you had the Total War campaign map for the building of armies, but have Dawn of War 1+2 gameplay so it can handle large armies and also use things like cover and specializing squad leaders.
It could most definitely work.
40k is like Starcraft? Them's fighting words.
