Not sure which one to get. Which is your favourite?

I'm thinking between Rome II or Shogun 2.
Not a fan of Warhammer.

Any recommendations would be nice :)
 
Shogun 2 is good, but Warhammer is not to be sniffed at even if you're not into the lore (like me)
The different factions and mechanics work very well in my opinion, makes for interesting campaigns for sure, co-op especially.

Always good to annoy your dwarven friend with vampiric corruption.
 
I still go back to the original Medieval from time to time. The campaign mode is still great, I like the simplicity of it, less micro management than the later games.
 
Warhammer followed by shogun 2. Totally ignoring the setting, warhammer is the most fun simply because of the variety of units and gameplay that each faction brings to the table. There's a lot of replay value. I did love shogun 2, especially for the fortress defense and sea battles, but I think I'd still prefer warhammer for gameplay (which does have some cool fortress defense stuff too, but I did prefer shoguns implementation).
 
Warhammer...but if you are new to total war then either rome 2 or shogun 2 would be fine. Think I prefered Shogun but only becuse tw is getting a bit samey.

Iam injust about the smallest minority ever when I say that I honestly prefer Empire TW about all others. I just loved that setting.

I agree. Shogun 2 just felt too cramped. Rome 2 just didn't work properly. Med 2 was great but now looking dated. Empire is where it's at IMHO.
 
Rome 2. Its been patched loads plus using an overhaul mod balances the AI and varies the units. So thoroughly playable and a lot of the new features, battle mechanics introduced in later versions aren't to be sniffed at.
 
Medieval 2 is still my favourite. Just love that time period. Seeing thousands of Crusaders marching is something special.
 
Empire is regarded by many to be a bit rubbish, but I really liked it. Especially with DarthMod. Failing that Shogun 2 is the last really good one. You also can't go wrong with Medieval 2 and the original Rome if you can get past the dated looks.
 
The best TWs imho.


Warhammer because is different and fun. Every race plays differently.
Attila, because is far superior to Rome 2 and all the previous versions.
Attila Carlemagne because is the Medieval 3 light.
 
I really liked Empire too. Favourite probably Shogun 2, including Fall of the Samurai, and Rome 2 I didn't put much time into it because it felt too big :(
 
I loved Empire the most though I imagine that puts me in a minority :p

I just love that era though.

Rome 2 is good, as is warhammer so contrary to popular opinion I really did not like shogun 2, just couldn't get into it but I think it's an era thing again as it didn't tickle my fancy.
