Honestly, I think Total War: Medieval (the first one) was the last good one they made before Warhammer. I'm waiting for Warhammer II to drop in price (I'm a high elf fanboy, and the tomb lords and Slann look great too.)

Another vote for TWS2. Far better Castle fights than any of the previous, imho. Straight out of _Ran_. I was never a big fan of Civilization, though I did play Call to Power where you could recruit lawyers to argue injunctions against opponents' economies.

never really played TWS2. TWS 1 was great. I especially liked that breaking morale happened a lot. Stick your archers on a hill, let the enemy charge up to them, watch them break. TWM 1 had the British Isles expansion which I loved. Just the right scale. TW battles get too large

Shogun 2 repeats that aspect. Very easy to break units.

one thing I hated about the Medieval games was the treatment of gunpowder weapons. Historically in that period, they sucked ass. Terrible. Archers were vastly superior, BUT you could train any moron to shoot a useless gun. Gunpowder units should be cheap and shitty not OP.

Shogun 1 gets kudos for best ending sequence in the series (afaik, I never played Rome 2 or the Warhammer stuff)

the warhammer stuff is really good. Problem with OP agents, but that's a general series problem later on.

There are mods which disable campaign actions for agents, though personally I hate using stuff like that. Let me know if you're up for playing multiplayer sometime. :) I find they've massively improved the multiplayer (well, two-player) campaign experience.

not really my thing, and haven't played it enough to be competitive. None of the mods seem to quite work, and they generally break the quest lines. I feel it is too easy for agents to kill generals and stop armies in their tracks, and that both are very boring.

having an assassin kill a high level warlord is boring to me, and I'm quite willing to give up doing it to get rid of it for myself. But, as noted, it breaks quests (for example, the standard Dwarven one.) Limting the # of agents seems to work best.

You'll be happy to know they added hero/lord immortality in WH2, then, once you reach level 20/15 (I think it varies based on unit). Works as with legendary lords.

seems like a reasonable compromise. knocking them out for a healing period is heroically appropriate, for certain types of heroes.

I like that it's not just a blanket immortality effect, but encourages you to keep your favourites protected. Sure sucks if a WILD AGENT APPEARS and gets lucky just before you reach the requisite level, though.
