Total War: Survival of the fittest

I unironically would prefer a game about the bugs of Ra than about black-washed Bronze Age warhammer-heroes.

Imagine playing with the genetics of your bugline to create the BUG MASTER RACE, also CA would make a lot of money with all the species DLCs.

BULLDOG ANT SUPREMACY.

Ok mate, np, there are other million of bug species, choose the want to want, perhaps a sigmachad scorpio finding his way in life.

Who are you going to main bug bros?
I'm going to main Order Odonata. Maybe Genus Toxorhynchites if the Mosquito DLC lives up to expectations.

Total War: Poo Pusher
>>
>>1447620
they don't really have good ideas at CA. they need to keep making human vs human games because making animation skeletons for insects and animals is really hard :(. plus they need to be super serious with their games, none of them have the capacity to think up of a grand campaign involving different factions of bugs taking over someone's backyard, i don't think any of these even know what Army Men is so they wouldn't even be able to have fun with the idea of a miniature war.
>>
>>1447620
Why is 3/4 of the trailer of this game fucking bugs. I agree. This Bug Total War.
>>
>>1447620
Scarabs are not dung beetles
>>
>>1448552
And why is the other 1/4 a ball of shit?
>>
Everyone would get mad at the fact total war isn't doing historical themes. But idrc what total warfags have to say lol
>>
>>1449671
It's a good historical time period it just has far more overlap with other more recent Total War titles being in the ancient period. Where a return to European medieval or post medieval historical setting would be refreshing again.

Me watching dragon/scorpio/sphinx animations of Warhammer, gifrel.

>>1447620
unironically would enjoy a total war: insects as a super weird creative fantasy setting over whatever slop they'll put out next
>>
Praying Mantis doomstack is completely broken. Game is honestly just boring once you get them because they steam-roll everything else.
Waiting for the arachnid dlc to break the game. At least it might be a challenge
>>
>>1449846
>It's a good historical time period
Not really. Poor historical records + low unit variety (e.g. only Assyrians should have proper cavalry in this time period) + primitive weapons and armor intensifying the aforementioned low variety (your heavy infantry and cavalry can only be so heavy in an era before lamellar/scale). It is a much more appropriate era for a more peacetime-focused game than it is for Total War which is still ostensibly a wargame at its core. What's the point of a historical game where all the gaps are filled in with TW Troy-tier loosely myth-based fanfiction?

Why do brainlets keep calling them bugs and insects as if they are arbitrary when dung beetles/scarabs are a huge part of symbiology in Egyptian culture and religion?

You joke, but as a kid I once fantasized about an insect RTS in the vein of aoe/empire earth after seeing shit like A Bug's Life and Antz. I think I even had a tech tree scrawled in some school notebook.
