Game Groups > Total War series

Total War is a series of real-time strategy war games developed by The Creative Assembly, focusing on real-life strategies of historical warfare such as battle formations, shock troops, moral degradation, army fatigue and siege strategies. Up to this point, the themes introduced are either medieval or classical/pre-classical war strategies.

Gameplay in this series (up to this point) is identifiable by certain distinctions:1. a top-down perspective political map; where the player develops structural buildings on controlled provinces to increase revenue, equip and recruit armies;

1. a top-down (camera rotatable) perspective specifically for battle sessions.
