As long as they avoid pay to win. I don't mind people buying upgrades as long as matchmaking sticks those people with each other.

I wonder when this MOBA era will die off

[[ptx]]

So it won't be a MOBA (like LoL or DotA2) afterall. Good, good. The concept sounds interesting, even.

[Casimir]

If its a shared battle command style game then i will definitely give it a go.

[Havoco]

Hmmm. Will it be just the heroes with skills or heroes with bodyguard? I guess I'll just have to wait

Total War: Arena is a free-to-play effort announced at GDC. It gives players just three units to play with, as opposed to the 20 a core Total War game might front, but aims to provide a similar on-the-field commander experience.

wow I just had a vision of a TW version of "World in Conflict" where you only controlled 3-5 units who were part of a larger team.

WiC was the best RTS multiplayer game I ever played and a TW version of this could really be fantastic. Nice fast paced gameplay, no dumb basebuilding, micro management of such a small group units doesn't require korean cat-like reflexes, so more time to just think about your tactical movements, reactions to enemy and coordination with teammates who also had a similar group of units.

Sounds like it's going to be good fun IMO, I'll definitely play it.

It will be a MOBA, but a different one.No towers and the like.I really imagine it to be ultra-nice for clan battles, probably not that much fun in pub games though.

they sure will "avoid" ;] all shogun 2 dlc's had at least 1 unit that was needed for competitive play, but im sure they wont do this here ;)
