Don't know what that is, but Ill assume it is what Lt. said.
Cool. Sounds intersting might have to get this game and try it out. And download this mod.
I love Civ, I do get bored of it, but I do play it quite a bit.
Civilization is fun and all, but it's all overly simple and can't express the dark tone of Fallout (Fallout 2, you were just too silly.)
But actually, Total War is basically two games where one is played on a turned based world map where you send assassin's, armies, diplomats, construct buildings and forts and etc, while the other part is RTS combat in very fun battles.
You can auto resolve battles on the world map if you are a City Building typed person. (I am one actually, but I like getting into games so I tend to go into battles now.)
I always thought that Civ was a more complex game, compared to most games these days. I do like complex Civ building games, the more complex the better. Of course overly complex can be bad.
Sounds cool, I might get it. Of course there are many games coming out that look good, so maybe, maybe not.
