Steep learning curve but a must have for anyone who's a strategy game nerd.

Edit : The No Step back DLC has completely changed the game, in a good way, its fresh and has added another step of learning and realism.

Edit edit : Playing both sides of the war so you come out on top with AAT, perfect

Edit edit edit: The price of the new DLC is a bit insane, but overall the update is good

This game taught me Russian.

CS2 is okay

Vortex campaign is great but the ME update has completely killed my hype. Still a good game to get but I'd wait on playing Mortal empires and stick to Vortex

Edit : After CA got round to fixing some of the bugs with ME, Norsca finally coming out and the new DLCs this is a must buy for any Total war fan.

Best total war game since Rome, and the amount of effort they're making with the content is brilliant.
