It's no Crusader Kings or Europa Universalis IV, but it's pretty good, give the demo a shot on Steam

TW: Rome II, EUIV and CKII are my three most played games on Steam. CA knows how to do real time tactical battles in a way that nothing else compares to. PDS knows deep, engaging political and strategic simulations on a grand scale. The comparison is - as is stated fairly early in the thread - apples and oranges. They're both historical strategy, but that's about where the similarity ends.

Rome 2 is playable now after all the patches and the I like the Divide et Impera mod. I have had some great siege battles in Attila, but I think Warhammer may turn out to be good. I am keeping my fingers crossed, since CA is trying new things with that game and promises more mod support - we will see though.
Actually Total War Warhammer won't have mod support at all. At least that's what they said
TW games, in Medieval 2 TW you could at least modify units stats very easily by opening a notepad.
After M2 TW, that changed, in Rome 2 modders can`t even mod the map, with M2 TW engine they could do that, that is how Third Age TW was born.
CA has an anti modding policy.
Sure some things might get harder and/or require better tools but I don`t buy it when Paradox games retain almost the same level of modability while in CA games we can`t even make a rudimentary stats change !

Which is a very odd trend, given that modders are what saved Rome 2 from it's own crippling flaws. Did CA change leadership recently (other then EA obviously), because their behavior has been getting inexcusable since Shogun 2 (FFS, Chaos is going to be a Day 1 DLC. THE SECOND MOST IMPORTANT FACTION IS DLC!?!?!?!?!)
The anti-modding policy is known since Empire, they changed sth with shogun2 (which is the most moddable TW game since Med2, but they released the tools only 2 years after the launch). For what concerns RomeII and Attila, they are moddable, but not as Shogun2 and surely no way near Rome&Med2.
Warhammer won't have mod support, they blame Games Workshop for that (I don't believe them, but that's it)

I believe them. Games Worskhop's entire history is holding back stuff so they can sell you more pieces of overpriced plastic and reading material. Makes sense they would do the same in the digital space. It's the same reason we don't have, and probably will never have, a computer version of 40K tabletop.
Not to mention that one of their tabletop lines looks like it's tanking ATM so they probably need all the cash they can get.
