Total War - a shitty franchise?

Always found their existence quite a bit weird and somewhat deceiving, as someone who enjoys games like Stronghold, Populous 3 and BfME. They take cool historical periods and instead of dedicating themselves truly to the spectacle of war, instead force you to look upon some stupid map. Jesus. I'm pl...

It's not groundbreaking, but what it tries to do it does quite well. Meaning it's trying to imitate an outdated yet beloved game.
