As a fun story, I first discovered Total back in 9th grade. I was taking Japanese in Highschool and our teacher made us do a cultural report. I did my presentation on the sengoku era. Around that time, I had bought Shogun Total War (random purchase. I thought the cover looked cool, plus the game was on sale for like $10, so I was able to convince my dad to buy it pretty easily).
Shogun 1 came with like an HTML encyclopedia, where they basically tied in their game design decisions into historical accuracy. I wrote my entire presentation using that encyclopedia. My teacher was super impressed lol
I am pretty sure that this started out as a Total War Saga title but the fairly lackluster reception of these titles caused them to just put it under the regular Total War label.
You are right about CA generally losing it.
But in this case, that's not fully CA's fault - it seems clear that Epic came up with new requirements they hadn't planned for.
And because we're talking about CA, even the mildest of features will take half a year to implement...
