I took a long hiatus from total war for months after feeling satisfied with WH3, and on a whim, redownloaded OG RTW.

I legit forgot how insanely good the game is, and how much more immersive too! Recruiting troops actually takes population? Losing a huge battle with my only stack early game means I actually lose the campaign and can't rely on some steroided eternally-respawning single-entity unit to save me?? It's _actually_ strategic_ (at least early game)?!

I don't get why CA doesn't just redo RTW (and Med 2 cuz why not) by just making us able to control 40 units in a battle, make the AI a smidge smarter, make it all prettier, and keep the core mechanics. Also keep the old-school UI, Remastered RTW UI blows. And redo Med 2 while we're at it!

They should just hire the people who did Europa Barbarorum and Stainless Steel; they already did their mods for free, imagine what they could do with some financial incentive!

Anyone else feel me? Would that not just make all us elder zoomers/young millennials spend an easy like, $100 on two updated versions of classic historical total wars?
