Welcome to Art of Total War!

Everything you need to know about Creative Assembly's flagship TBS. The Art of Total War.

Art of Total War This site will be a comprehensive encyclopedia of all things relating to the Total War franchise. This includes the games themselves, as well as factions, units, settlements/regions, characters, mechanics, game modes, mods, people in the community, and more. I've found the other Total War wikis lacking in this regard or simply not keeping up-to-date with relevant information. I'm hoping to change that. I'm just one guy. In the future I may expand the team, but for now I'm all you've got. Keep this in mind when considering the amount of pages and how it takes me to edit them. When I do get around to making these pages, I give it my all. Just be patient. If you need any help, don't hesitate to contact ShoutWiki's Customer Support Team.

Featured article Featured Article: Shogun: Total War Shogun: Total War (abbreviated STW and retrospectively as Shogun 1) is the first installment in the Total War franchise developed by Creative Assembly and published by Electronic Arts. Originally released on 13 June 2000, Shogun: Total War is set in the Sengoku Jidai period of feudal Japan and is not only the first instalment of the Total War franchise, but also Creative Assembly's first venture into the grand strategy genre. As a turn-based strategy/real-time tactics hybrid, Shogun: Total War gives the player control of a Japanese clan with the goal of the conquest of Japan and attaining the coveted title of Shogun. Announced in early 1999, Shogun: Total War was a high risk product for Creative Assembly, one that incorporated revolutionary 3D computer generated real-time battles in addition to a turn-based strategic campaign map that was added later in development to give context to the battles. Thanks to the success of the game, it spawned an entire franchise, which went on to not only cover different periods and locations of history, but eventually into fantasy with the Warhammer titles.

News Due to issues with ShoutWiki's wiki generator, I'm repurposing this old wiki for the purposes of making this new one. The title is "Warpedia" for now until I figure out how to change it, otherwise this wiki will be known as "Art of Total War". I've added a custom banner and made a basic start on the main page. Due to processing times on this website, I don't expect the custom banner to show up for a while. It was the name with my For A Better Tomorrow wikia. The articles featured in "Featured Article" are, for now, placeholders. They are pages left over from the old wiki I'm repurposing, and they will change as I start making new articles. Just in case there's any confusion. Same goes for the DYK section. Added a few basic ones just to get the ball rolling. Will update/be subject to change as this wiki expands and develops.
