Tomb kings come from far off aye but they were in the Bretonnian Knight series so it is plausible they're there just I think it'd be DLC or smth Tbh.

I will probably pre-order because I am reckless and make rash decisions but one thing I known for certain I won't be pre-ordering, is BOIII

Another futuristic Call of Duty... They need to go back to their roots and do a WWII game again... And they can't really say We've done a lot of WWII games because there is a lot of shit that happened in WWII and they've done too many futuristic games now...

 

Should just hurry up and do a Call of Duty from the Wehrmacht's view, they had quite a few victories history has told me...

Nobody ever makes games of WWI let alone from the perspective of the German Reich's as the soldiers on the German side were conscripted all the same and there were huge victories in both the Great War and WW2 for the Germans.

They had the Brits virtually destroyed in the opening moments of the great war and in world war two there were huge Axis victories

They had everyone beat in the early part of the second world war. You're never supposed to do games from your opponents point of view because the Third Reich was evil therefore anything that shows people who fought for the Reich are wrong even if they were fighting for their country and not because they wanted to kill everyone who was different...

History is defined by the victor after all.

Biased views will exist as the Allies won.

Evil is also defined by those who win.

Let us not forget it was the British who created the camps, back in the Boar War.

True, but Nazi's took it to a whole new level. I doubt very much any sane person could not define the Holocaust as evil

That said, back to the topic. My main reason not for pre-ordering is knowing how much people despise the current total war games, though I have never actually played anything but Medieval II

Medieval Total War II is quite enjoyable except the Pope's always a *CENSORED*. Solution every time you are excommunicated kill the Pope and have an English Cardinal instated and they'll reconcile the English faction and you have so many turns until your excommunicated again and so on and so on until eventually Europe is conquered then you'll only fight Muslim nations and then the Pope will love you.

 

Although the feature added in since Rome Total War with a faction's reputation which was quite nice since say you start wars with other factions you'll gain a bad reputation which will eventually make diplomacy a nightmare as gaining trade rights or even map information will cost so much that it becomes impossible to deal with anyone else. I think one game Poland was my only ally and everyone else was at war with me or avoided me as much as possible. Although after defeating Denmark and Holy Roman Empire I was at the borders of the Polish faction and relations did start to break down a bit...
