At its worst, it's a middle-school history textbook as told by Drunk History and filmed by the cast and crew of The Patriot.

Total War at its best is interactive Kurosawa and Kubrick.
BATTLEFIELD SPRITES EMPIRE TOTAL WAR DARTHMOD SERIES
While the series has been on a linear trajectory in terms of graphics, the quality of the games underlying those vivid battlefield vistas has varied wildly. Each time you take to the battlefield is another do-or-die moment, a possible Hastings or Austerlitz that can open the road to conquest or plunge you into a desperate fight for survival.īut the Total War series has also been defined by massive, abrupt swings in quality. Each decision on the strategic level is a gamble on the immediate future, where "one more turn" isn't just a stepping-stone to a new upgrade, but a perilous step onto thin ice. Your empire rises from nothing, surrounded by enemies who are poised to trample it into the dust. The whole purpose of this thread is to show people what I mean.At its best, the Total War series casts a spell over you.

I want empires models graphics back in the new roman game CA is doing. I sincerely hope it changes in the now less than (i hope) 12 months until rome2 is released. The "trend" suggests this will continue with rome2 and the gameplay footage recently shown shows that they are indeed on this track. The point of this post (even though it is early days) is to point out that Rome2 is looking like right now (I know its alpha but bear with me) like napoleon and shogun which imho are decidely inferior graphically to Empire total war. I'm sure you must know this, so don't think you can convince people about this using "evidence" such as thatDon't worry about that screenshot then and just pay attention to the others direct from my computer.

I can tell you that the second picture is NOT NTW, and is instead a mod for and earlier total war about the Napoleonic era. Secondly, you have put up two pictures, saying that one is ETW, and the other is NTW. I'm sure you must know this, so don't think you can convince people about this using "evidence" such as that If you need to ask why, 12 months before release, then. to do so would be the dumbest thing possible. Its like the napoleon models were made very simple and then relied on effects to finish them off.įor instance below the boots look like they are drawn on the napoleon models but seem to be physical 3D models on ETW in the top picture.Īlso notice the difference in colours? The Napoleon picture looks a lot softer and more blury.įirstly, I sincerely hope you are not referring to the soldiers we see in Rome 2, seeing as that is the forum you are posting in. The empire total war models themselves just seem to be more 3D and have more "real" detail without relying on tricks. Empire's models just look awesome in comparision. I simply love looking closely at the fights and also enjoy the fidelity at higher distances.Ĭompared to this in Empire. I noticed in the ROME2 video that zooming out that models very quickly turned into black shadows instead of men. IIRC in Empire you zoom out and you still get to see the battle in all its detail. The other thing that CA did to the game from napoleon onwards is that when you zoomed out you lost detail very very quickly and all the models seemed to turn black. The Empire models simply have more detail. The ETW ones are very sharpe, the napoleon one below is less sharp. We went from Empire in the top pic to napoleons models in the bottom one.
