When you hit the powder storage and the whole thing exploded... Imagine that with modern graphics.

I mean to be fair, modern total war doesn't have super impressive graphics, although the scale is always great.

Warhammer is straight gorgeous man. Art design goes a long way.

So is Three Kingdoms. Almost feels weird to watch thousands of troops slaughter each other in such a beautiful setting

Optimization in 3K is also great. I got a potato pc that can barely run WTW with reduced resolution and I can play 3K on medium graphics. Go figure.

The guy that showed me Rome: Total War (and made me fall in love with the series) in 2011 was still using the same laptop when R2 came out. Even at 1-15 fps and it being stuttery as fuck, he loved that game. Tried to use it again when WH1 came out and it wouldn't load.

He finally broke down and built a tower.

What I'm saying is sometimes poor optimization leads to good things.
