Four historical real-time strategy games and the three expansions that finished them, 1997 to 2021.
Rome added to the 1997 original, with four campaigns and the units that fixed its worst balance.
Ten thousand years BC in the Far Cry 4 valley: no guns, a spoken Proto-Indo-European language and animals you tame.
A standalone remake of the 1994 game on the Civ IV engine: build a colony, then win a war of independence against the king who sent you.
Three Native American civilisations, war chiefs and fire pits; the first Age III expansion.
China, Japan and India, each winning by building a wonder rather than collecting one.
Eleven of the grand campaigns, from Sengoku Japan in 2000 to the Warhammer trilogy.
Four campaigns following one commander from the Italian campaign to Waterloo.
Europe from 1087, with a Pope who excommunicates you and crusades to send the troublemakers on.
The 2000 original: a board-game Japan on the campaign map and thousands of ashigaru on the battlefield.
Crusades, gunpowder and the fan mods that keep it alive twenty years on.
The eighteenth century with line infantry and naval battles you command yourself.
Gunpowder, home cities and the colonial era; the awkward middle child of the series.
China in 190 AD, with generals who hold grudges; the best-written Total War.
Settle the New World, build an economy and declare independence from the king you serve.
Four centuries of map painting from 1444; the grand strategy game.
Sengoku Japan on the campaign map and thousands of samurai on the field; Creative Assembly's best.
Legions, elephants and the Senate; the Total War that made the series.
