There is a lot more information about the history of this controversy in the book by the same author called Bone Rooms R o o m s S c i e n t i f i c P r ehistoryMuseumsdptelrefsr 11 ? ieUTF 8 qidtelsr 81 keywordsredmanbonerooms <| sep |> Did this disappear from front ? <| sep |> They complain primarily because TWW is new and different . It ' s not a historical setting . It has a HUGE fanbase and has done better than ANY game before it . Even the classics . snort especially the classics . Which were a VERY niche fanbase in the beginning . TWW is not only hugely popular it ' s likely to go on BEING hugely popular with multiple lets play series , gamer celebrities and DLC packs only increasing the popularity it enjoys . Hell , it has its own DEVELOPMENT group now a whole subset of CA devoted EXCLUSIVELY to the continuation of the Warhammer side of Total War . What a time to be alive lolFurther the Campaign AI isn ' t THAT bad at the end of the day , at the very least , it ' s better than Atilla or god forbid Rome 2 ' s campaign AI . The amount of moding required to make the campaign AI in AtillaRome 2 even half as capable as the AI in TWW is astronomical not to mention slightly ridiculous . Especially when you consider , that one of the main reasons the AI in TWW is better than the AI in AtillaRome 2 , is that they REMOVED a bunch of features that were bogging those versions of the AI down PTWW also does a good job of giving you JUST ENOUGH of your ' lord and leadership ' duties without bogging you down with a whole shitton of micromanagement that you DO NOT NEED . I ' m looking at YOU food system In fact , there are whole factions that have ' government lite ' or even ' no government at all ' for those of us who don ' t even want to THINK of governing P so in many ways it does what Total War hasn ' t been able to do and provide us with alternative playstyles WITHOUT modding . For myself if I wanted to be heading the government and making HUGE political choices I ' d be playing Civilization 4 . I ' m not playing Civilization 4 I ' m playing Total War . Chances are I want to be Totally Warring most of the time P A little dose of government ruling a little dash of trading a little smidgen of political maneuvering now and again that ' s fine . After I ' m done with that , though , I want to kill shit with my doomstacks P and if a game tells me that I don ' t have enough foodshiny stonescomic books to build my doomstack I AM going to lose my shit lol in this game build the buildings upgrade your cities get enough money you GET your doomstack . Period .
