Total War Series /Sega

The main idea of the Total War Series is to build an empire and to conquer as much as you can from your opponents. To do this, you have alot of options. You can work together as allies with nations, or just build one large army and move through every village. The options are all yours.

I think that one of the reasons why the game is so populair lies within the fact that you have full control of anything, So if you actually win a game, it's not because of you simply killed an army. No, it's the journey towards it. The accomplishness of the player is large because they did that on their own.


The player has a lot of freedom to choose from. The tactics can be as advanced as the player playing the game.  


The main event is simple, It's war, But smart as they were, they knew that they could
expand events. Create more challenges and more factors. That is why they can continue making these games. It is a good meal, served with a different sauce everytime, which keeps it interesting.

Another reason is the option to play this game together with friends during a Lan or online. The fact that all of your friends play this game, makes you want to play this game with them. 


Even though I think the first part of this game was the best because of the revolutionairy freedom and strategic events. It was one of the pioniers.  But they had to go further, They did improve a bit in gamestyle and graphics but this game is just classic because of one word : Freedom
