Total War is a series of PC games in the strategy genre developed by the studio The Creative Assembly, starting in 2000. There are numerous games in the series, and the main gameplay mechanics are a mixture of turn-based strategy and real-time tactical strategy. Each game in the series is based on a time period before the 20th century, and utilizes technologies from each era.
Throughout its history, the Total War series has developed games based on a variety of different factions and periods, including the Shogun of Japan, Medieval times, Rome, the Three Kingdoms of China, and even the Warhammer universe. Each game can be played separately from the rest, and there are many die-hard fans of each particular release.
The Creative Assembly has been developing Total War games continually for over 20 years, and there is no end in sight, with more than five games being released over the last two years alone.
