Continuing on from the latest Classic Review, we take a look at one of the greatest Total War mods ever made - Third Age. Third Age Total War is a total conversion mod for Medieval II: Total War and takes us into J.R.R Tolkien's world of Middle Earth and the battles that occurred in the Lord of the Rings series.

The official strategy game to accompany the Lord of the Rings franchise was certainly an ambitious title. It attempted to capture the wonder and the epic battles that made the Lord of the Rings so amazing. Would EA's title be the one game to rule them all?

    I agree, what drove me away from Civ VI was the cartoonish graphic design... I liked how the old Civs were looking for realism, the trailer for the Civ 5 still gives me chills to this day... the narration, the graphics,... it is like an epic movie... I miss that... gladly we still have the Total War series...

    "I don't have much in the way of DLC for Civ 6." Then you've disqualified your opinion for consideration. Clearly you are more invested in 5. Based on your opinion of the Government Ideologies and cards ("I don't really pay much attention to them. They add small bonuses"), you don't understand the cards either. They give MASSIVE bonuses if you choose the cards that go with your Civ type. The cards also can save you from being beaten in a war you were unprepared for or prevent another Civ from overrunning you with their tourism. I have 3500 hours in Civ 6 and 2800 hours in Civ 5, plus all expansions and DLC. I loved both games. I've owned Civ 6 longer. I played WoW during Civ 5 so I have fewer hours because of split time. Both games improved massively with expansions, especially Brave New World for 5 and Gathering Storm for 6. Edit: I gave your video thumbs up. If it is interesting enough for me to respond with a long post, then it is thought provoking and good.

      If it improves your opinion any, I have all of Civ 6s DLC since making this video. You're right that I'm not understanding the card system all that well. I'll bow to your point on that, given that you've spent literal months playing the game. But therein lies my point about difficulty curves. Obviously, you want a game that's worthy of the investment of your time, but game mechanics such as that shouldn't require a PhD from Sid Meier University for me to understand it.

      @@strattom1759 Nods. We do indeed have different tastes in games. I, for instance, have come to hate MMOs. I won't play any rpg that requires me to depend on others to see the story unfold. The entire culture sickens me. MMO players want what they want and everyone else is just there to help them get it. There is very little reciprocity in the end game. But there are millions of people who love MMOs. Regarding Civ specifically, I understand how you feel, but I would recommend to you what I recommended to myself with WoW - if you don't like it because it requires too much learning, then play something else suited to your tastes. You can't force Firaxis to make a game just for you, but you can find an easier Civ type game.

    An excellent analysis. Just this past year I made the choice to go back to Civ V after playing VI for a few months. While I love the districts and wonders being in their own hexes I find the golden age mechanic in VI to be absolutely unbearable.

    The issue with total war is that it only has 3 good games, the rest are cash grabs made by inferior Devs and a dying studio. Yeah, they had money, but they fell for the trap of putting their resources in far too many wrong areas and then relying on a Brand name to carry the mess forward. It's common, just look at star wars.

    civ4 still outperforms both of these just due to mods People just dont understand how much better a game can become with a good mod. These mods generally take more work to develop than the game itself CIV 6 still has like no mods. I mean it does, but they're all small and nothing big
