Total War Week


Steam sets fire to our wallets once again with a new insane week-long sale.

Quote:
This week we're celebrating the release of the Elite Units of the East, new Downloadable Content for Empire: Total War™, with a huge sale on Total War™ games, packs and DLC from SEGA and The Creative Assembly.

All Empire, Rome, and Medieval II: Total War™ games and packs, including the Total War™ Mega Pack are 66% off, while all Empire: Total War DLC and the new Empire: Total War™ - Downloadable Content Pack are 10% off.

Whether you're new to the series or looking to round out your collection of Total War™ games and content, this week is the time to buy.
I've never played the Total War games, but the 10€ price for Empire is hard to argue against.

While Empire may have the most innovated and 'easy-to-use' engine.... i found Medieval 2 to be much more fun..

Im not a huge-HUGE fan of lining guys up to shoot eachother.... but give me some long swords and sheilds and I am in heaven...

I effin LOVED Rome. Medieval II was great, and I think I would have liked Empire a lot had the game shipped with the most recent patch's bug fixes, but Rome was definitely my favorite. I would love to see a remake.

I did buy Medieval 2 during an earlier sale, but I never found time to play through more than the tutorial. I might buy Empire and Rome, since they are the top rated in the series.

Rome is a downgrade from Medieval.... if you only have a limited amount of time, i would spend it with Medieval or Empire

Get Medieval 2 and its expansion Kingdoms if you enjoy mods.

Stainless Steel
Call of Warhammer
Broken Crescent
Third Age Total War

And more on the way like All Under Heaven, Dominion of the Sword, and Europa Barbarorum II.

I already have Medieval and expansions... but the whole pack is too tempting, and plus, I don't need the DVDs anymore.

It's cheaper to buy the games individually if you already own to of them, at least in Europe.

It's cheaper to fly to the States, buy a computer here, rent an apartment (with a lease and damage deposit!), set up a wireless network, create a U.S. Steam account, and buy it here, going to an expensive restaurant while it downloads...

than it is to buy it in Europe.

Don't feel bad. It's only because our currency is toilet paper.

Ah, Steam...you keep making me tear off more sheets to the wind.

I'll be honest. I still have a soft spot for SHOGUN: TOTAL WAR. The others... not so much.

Yeah it would be nice to see a rome 2 or shogun 2 with the new engine. Napolean version, not empire.
