Winston Churchill might have once uttered the phrase, "History will be kind to me, for I intend to write it," but we can't help but think that it's better suited to the Total War series. After all, since its inception, it has handed the reins (or is that reigns?) of the most notable empires the world has known over to its players and said: "Here, you try."
It's a franchise that has carried Creative Assembly from a little-known work-for-hire studio developing sports titles for EA through to the big leagues, with a studio now its own battalion in size and replete with its own on-site motion-capture facility. Prior to the release of the very first Total War game, the small developer based in Horsham, England, didn't dream of such an epic scale.
