Total War fans are discussing one of the more pivotal changes to Total War games of the past decade. A design shift that appeared in Total War: Rome II moved the strategy game away from single unit armies, to the army-centric approach where every unit had to be in a stack. In theory, this would lead to less stacks roaming the map.
A poll on the Total War subreddit with over 6,000 votes currently swings in favour of bringing back independant unit movement by 60% to 40% keeping things as is, with a small minority voting ‘other’ as a third option. Not a decisive result as, say, which platform redditors are going to buy Warhammer III on, which is notable in and of itself.
Reading through the comments you’ll also see plenty of love for Total War: Three Kingdoms, which attempts to offer the best of both worlds. Important characters can roam around the map with their own personal retinue of up to six units, and a character’s class governs what units they can recruit. Up to three heroes and retinues can stack together into a larger army.
