- Total War: Pacman

- Every year on Halloween, weird forum skins pop up at random all over HG. This year, TWH has been hit by an extra festive blue-and-black pacman skin with ghosts roaming around. Enjoy while it lasts!
- TWH spies report new lands waiting to be conquered!
- Posted by Hussarknight on October 23rd, 2011 @ 05:11 a.m.
- After due extensive deliberation on the part of Total War Heaven staff (okay no, actually it was more of a spur of the moment thing), it has been decided that the mighty Total War Heaven community must move in search of new realms to conquer. Scanning the internet-cosmos for stray rebel provinces which we might have overlooked, our spies discovered an entire faction which we had not hitherto recognised - the Kingdom of Social-Networking.
As such, it has been decided to launch a two-pronged attack on this rival empire. We are deploying two full stacks in their territory, and we are confident that victory will soon be ours!
So what are you waiting for, soldier?! Grab your matchlock/pilum/lance/battleaxe/[insert weapon of choice here], and head over to our brand new facebook page and twitter account to keep up to date with this grand campaign!
- Changing of the Great Guard
- Posted by Hussarknight on September 29th, 2011 @ 08:07 a.m.
- Some big changes are happening at Heavengames. Due to various reasons and other commitments, the previous EXCO has decided to step down and make room for a new team to take charge of HG.
So thanks to the old team, for all the effort and time they've put in, and welcome to the new team, General_II, Shanks13 and Terikel Grayhair, who will be our new helmsmen.Quoted from HG Main:
The prior EXCO comprised of Zen, Soccy, Jay, and Yeeb has disbanded and a new EXCO comprised of General_II, Shanks13, and Terikel Grayhair has been formed.
The trio had a meeting on September 25th, during which an outline of key issues was agreed upon, a direction for HG was decided upon, and a plan to reform HG's management system is being put into motion.
Our direction is defined by this mission statement: Heaven Games builds content-rich creative communities with which gamers can enrich their gaming experiences.
Management is being reformed by realizing that HG is not, and never will be, a traditional business. All who work for HG do so as volunteers who work out of enjoyment and pride in what they produce. This will continue, but there must be a level of volunteers at HG who can be relied upon to keep HG not only running, but improving, and this level of commitment exceeds that encompassed by volunteer work for enjoyment. Consequently, the new EXCO is investigating forming an expanded guidance council responsible for helping the EXCO make informed decisions. Activity and presence will be expected from these staff members, and there will be rules in place to prevent inactivity from derailing efforts to move forward.
Finally, the mentioned outline is still in the process of being written and made functional. You may expect some form of an outline of HG's goals, challenges, and considerations in the future.

- CA working on "Total War game away from PC"
- Posted by Hussarknight on June 30th, 2011 @ 06:16 a.m.
- develop-online.net has posted on their blog an interview with Tim Heaton, CA's studio director. It's mostly his views on the recent history of CA, but there's one sentence which is much more interesting than that:
We’re also looking at new opportunities on all the possible platforms, and already have a team working on a Total War game away from PC.
So, a Total War game that's not on the PC could mean it's moving to other platforms as well. In December Kevin McDowell, CA's lead artist, said they knew how to make TW work on consoles, but that the question was whether it would sell:"We have actually solved the problem with controlling Total War games using a control pad anyway.
So, big question is: what are they working on? Total War on console, portable devices, smartphones? Share your thoughts and speculations on the forums.
"In the past one of the artists actually coded up some experimental stuff just on his own time and was like, 'Oh that actually works really well,'" he revealed.
"But I think the biggest issue really is, would Total War sell on console? It's kind of difficult to answer that question without spending all that money."
"I mean you've talked about using joypads, we've also looked elsewhere, we're looking at everything including iPhones, online gaming as well. Just different ways of playing."

On behalf of the TWH staff, I'd like to thank him for his contributions to the various sites. I wish him all the best in whatever life may hold for him. Best of luck Afty!

- Shogun 2 Heaven is live!
- Posted by Aftermath on March 27th, 2011 @ 5:02 p.m.
- It's been a long and windy road to get here but we are proud to present to you Total War: Shogun 2 Heaven. On behalf of the TWH staff team I wish you a pleasant stay. Be sure to check out the full fledged forums to discuss warfare in Japan with your fellow daimyo's, and don't forget to join the multiplayer action!
Unfortunately, due to personal circumstances, we didn't have as much time as we'd would have liked to get this site up and running. As a result we don't have everything you'll expect from us. The downloads section isn't available and the articles you all submitted before the game's release haven't been posted yet, but we're working hard trying to get them all up. We'll also do some re-ordering of the forums, so sorry for the automatic emails you get from the system if we move threads you created.
In the meantime, there's plenty for you all to do around here! Why not join our clan and fight for the greater good in Shogun 2's multiplayer? Have you developed some good tactics or strategies already? Come and share your masterpiece in the Guides & Articles forum!
Why not drop in and pay us a visit at Heavengame's new home for the latest in the Total War series:Shogun 2 Heaven
- Shogun 2 Heaven Clan ranks second in bracket!
- Posted by Aftermath on March 22nd, 2011 @ 2:10 p.m.
- Greetings,
News from the front;
Last night the Shogun 2 Heaven Clan's valiant warriors had earned it 11 provinces and thrust us into second place in the group, behind only the Ronin Warlords.
(The Clan Warfare map last night.)
As you can see, the Ronin Warlords are very strong indeed and with only five days left it will be a struggle to knock them off top spot, but never fear, for if we continue as we are we'll be promoted anyway!
To see how our players are doing this week, check out the thread on our forums.
