Welcome to all you kings, queens, and conquerors from every era of history! Welcome to the official Total War forum: the home of the Total War community and the best place to meet other players, discuss your favourite games, swap strategies, ask for help, and more!


BE CIVIL



We want this to be a welcoming space for everyone to contribute, which is why we ask everyone to abide by and share a few fundamental values:

  1. Leave your quarrels at the door; save your fights for the battlefield.
  2. Allow everyone to share their opinions, respectfully. Be civil in your debates. Discuss the topic without attacking an individual (under any circumstance).
  3. Ask questions. Answer questions. Be a force for good.
  4. Trust the moderators. Report disruptors and let the moderation team handle the situation.

For a more in-depth exploration of the code of conduct, you can read up on our full interaction guidelines here:


Code of Conduct & Posting Guidelines

REPORTING & MODERATION



When someone is getting out of hand or baiting others into a fight, we ask that you use the forum’s reporting tools to inform our moderators. This will automatically flag a thread or comment for review by the team, who will take the appropriate action to protect the community.


Click the ⚐ on the post you want to report to the team. This will open the reporting window where you can select a reason and submit your report.



Please note that the reporting system should only be used when there is a violation of the code of conduct; it is not a tool to express disagreement with other forum contributors. Leave the tool out of your active and healthy disagreements!


NAVIGATING THE FORUM



The forum is powered by the Games2Gether platform, which offers far more than just a forum; it’s a community platform: with a personalized profile, specific news feeds, discussion forums, as well as spaces to report issues, ask for help, and provide feedback.


The Total War hub is broken down into UNIVERSES, each of which serves as a home for different games. We’ve split the Total War series into three Universes:


Total War: WARHAMMER

Total War: PHARAOH

Total War Legacy

Within each Universe, there are several FEATURES—basically tabs which represent different areas to contribute or learn more about the games:

  • HOME: This is the home page, which consolidates all the latest happenings in a universe
  • NEWS: Catch up on the latest news and announcements, read through old (official) posts, and comment on different articles
  • FORUMS: Your discussion space to talk about the games with other players
  • HELP: Ask and answer questions about the game, and get help from the community when you encounter an issue
  • STORE: Jump over to the official Total War store where you can search for games on the different platforms
  • TECH SUPPORT: Search the support knowledgebase and contact the SEGA Support Team for assistance with an issue

Jump into a Universe to learn more about what’s available!


THE FORUM



When you’re ready to join the discussion, click the FORUM tab in any Universe to get involved in the conversation. It should feel reasonably familiar to most other forum platforms, though there are plenty of tools to play with that will help your posts stand out!


Here are a few tips to keep in mind whenever you want to contribute to the forum:

  • SEARCH BEFORE POSTING. Find threads on your topic before starting a new one of your own. (Duplicate threads will be merged or closed.)
  • CREATE A CLEAR TITLE. Ensure your readers know what a given thread is about before ever having to click into the post.
  • FORMAT YOUR POSTS! Break up those endless walls of text with headers, bulleted lists, and other formatting magic to ensure you reader catches all the important details of your post.
  • EMBED IMAGES! A picture is worth a thousand words! Embed them right into your posts to add context from the games to your messages.
  • ATTACH USEFUL FILES! Particularly when reporting on an issue, you can attach the following files to provide additional context to your post: 
    • Total War Files: .save, .replay, .text
    • General Files: .ctr, .sav, .7z, .zip, .rar, .jpeg, .jpg, .png, .gif, .pdf, .log, .mp4, .mov, .avi, .m4v
  • POST AND REPLY! Get involved in the conversation! Respond to others, upvote posts, answer questions, and be a force for good in the community.
