ATTILA TOTAL WAR ART SERIES
It gives you a sense of how the series has evolved over time and how warfare was visualized between the early days and today. The collection stands as an overview of the series and doesn’t go too in depth with any particular game. Each section goes into great detail and shows all the concept art, screenshots and artist renditions from each game.
These sections are Shogun (Total War Shogun and Shogun 2), Medieval (Total War Medieval and Medieval 2), Empire (Total War: Empire and Total War: Napoleon), Rome (Total War: Rome and Rome 2), Attila (Total War: Attila) and Total War Battles (Total War Kingdom and Total War Shogun: Battles). The book itself is split into historical sections so each era fits together and keeps the same visual style. It is called “The Art of Total War” and it is a love letter to not just the upcoming Total War: Attila game, but to all games in the Total War package. The time has finally come to honor their work in another beautifully crafted art book by Titan Publishing. Sure, it has had some trouble with Rome 2, but you can’t knock The Creative Assembly for making a few mistakes but absolutely pouring their heart and souls into their games. It is, by far, one of the most underrated and strategic gaming franchises out there.
If you are a strategy gamer, or you are a fan of history, chances are you’ve heard of the Total War series.
