What the hell does Star Wars-themed mean lol. It's either set in the Star Wars setting or its not, it's not a fucking decoration.
It means it is Total War using Star Wars skin. Something like this:


This guy's clickbait all caps titles are annoying.

It always gets me sad when I see people asking about Medieval 3. We'll never get it if they can make free money off big IPs.

Even if we do somehow get it, it'll probably be shit.

It can be set anytime, anywhere and it simply doesn’t matter. Until they fix their engine or build a new one themselves, it can’t be anything but shit. And no mainstream western developers make engines anymore.

Even if God comes down and write them an engine the game will be shit. Nothing that is terrible about nu Total war is do to engine problems or limitations, there are fundamental design problems that will not go away, ever. nu Total war games are the pinnacle of

Themed Total Wars are generally Total War with a wallpaper, that's why Warhammer is such a disappointment all around.
I'd say the big special units and heroes made Total War WORSE (for me at least). Unless they do something really interesting with this Total War: Star Wars (which I doubt will happen) I would rather wait for Star Wars: Rebellion to go on sale on GOG.
Wait, why would someone still be on the fence regarding SW:Rebellion after all those years?
It is by far the best Star Wars strategy game on PC, and it also has the worst UI of them all...

Is it in slowmo? He turns the back to 3 opponents or more for quite a long time overall. It is even harder than in movies to make a 1v6+ in which opponents don't feel like complete morons.
Edit: just saw it was a mod. I thought the kensai of Shogun 1 had been added by a DLC.

Had you played it back in the day? Because otherwise, I am afraid the UI conventions used by the game might be even harder to forgive (even though it is miles better than SW: Empires at War).

I found Star Wars: the Mod Awakens for Civ3 preferable. Granted, it is not a game in itself. Still, the level of attention to detail the modmaker displays pleases my autism greatly.

I didn't, but I am willing to give it a try.

Kinda bummed I couldn't find a trans-flag coloured AT-AT tbh. It's what I was looking for. :lol:

Did you know they have an entire Pride coloured line of Star Wars toys and collectibles?
