Seeing as you mention the first game, Total Warhammer 2 is released on the 28th of September.

Still getting to grips woth warhammer and the magic think i prefer the historical titles, seen one called ancient cities aswel that looks good

Medieval Total War 2 with Stainless Steel mod.

Can't recommend anything beyond that from Creative Assembly. They all suck in comparison.

One of the Stronghold games you'll like. Stronghold HD is it?

Check Rimworld out too

Stronghold is still amazing. An updated graphics engine is all it needs!

Yeah thats the problem compared to total war graphics most are terrible, also o should mention i have stronghold and stronghold 3 what i played one time as was terrible and also baboshed when i enjoyed used to play on old laptop.

What games are coming what look really good ?

Might give the likes of a first person shooter a go rather than on the ps4, just like to get use out of alienware but really like the army vuilding games etc

Warhammer is a good option.

If you're considering alternatives then Divinity Original Sin 2 is out soon, which is a CRPG that you may enjoy. Pillars of Eternity is also very highly regarded.

Is pillar of eternity available only on steam?

Nope, you can buy it from GOG as well. Probally cheaper from a keysite though, then directly from either place.

I'm still waiting for medieval 3.

Oriental Empires? https://youtu.be/qfW9uw2g_Zs

Its mostly like civilization but with animated battles (bit like total war) but not much control over the battles + its set in ancient china

After a shaky start Transport Fever with all the latest updates is great fun if you like Tycoon type games. Hegemony 3 - Clash of the Ancients if you like empire building and RTS combat.

So am I, sadly if it ever comes it'll be 25% of a game with the rest stuck in DLC.

I think it's a compilation of mods that improves the base game. Better AI, bigger campaign map and longer campaign that sort of stuff. Also has elements of EUIV like historical pop-ups and optional supply lines etc.

Was really enjoying it but started crashing when the battles got bigger :/
