Fusing elements of Civilization-style overworld map management and large-scale real-time strategy battles, the formula for Creative Assembly's Total War series has remained a popular one since the franchise launched with Shogun: Total War back in 2000. The latest version, Empire: Total War, is set in the 18th Century, and will include real-time sea battles, new modes, and a brand new multiplayer components, including a post-release multiplayer campaign update.
To get a better idea of how all that is going to work, IGN took time to interview Creative Assembly Studio Communications Manager Kieran Brigden.

It’s Total War Week at the Humble Store. Games in the popular strategy franchise are up to 75 percent off.
PC Invasion: Classic Total War games such as Medieval II, Empire, and Napoleon now have their Definitive Editions which includes all the DLC. Players who already own the respective base games get the DLC as a free update.

If you didn't know, Time Commanders was a TV show that ran for 3 series back into the early noughties.
