Creative Assembly’s Total War is easily one of the most expensive franchises in video gaming. Born at the turn of the millennium with Total War: Shogun, the grand strategy title now consists of 16 mainline titles, placing it up there with other long-running series like Resident Evil, side stories excluded. It hasn’t always been the most consistent saga though – and its path to the present is a bit of a twisted one. Warhammer: Total War Following three titles of…
