    "Total War: The MOBA !"

    I guess every developer under the sun has to try for that pot of gold.

    What's next, the Minecraft MOBA ?

    if you don't know wtf you are talking about, just don't spread misinformation. the game is nothing like a moba at all.
    it's a faster paced 10v10 multiplayer total war game where you only control 3 units.

    you have 3 factions each with 2 or 3 heroes.
    these heroes give bonus to different type of units (melee/ranged/cavalry), they also gain levels giving them access to more buffs/tools for the units you control (better turn rate for archers, faster charge for cavalry, etc)
    and you have a techtree a la world or tank. (with unit ranging from tier 1 to 10)

    how on earth is that a goddamn moba ?

    It sounds closer to "a goddamn" moba than a total war game. You people get worked up over the craziest things.
    He probably didn't get the memo about that "A" in MOBA

    Multiplayer? check
    Online? check
    Battle? check
    Arena? check

    It look like the only game dev who didn't start to re-create his game as a MOBA yet - it's Erno Rubik.

    p.s. MOBA = Multiplayer online battle arena. This game has multiplayer, it's online, there a battles which happens on arenas (which are disguised as a scenery though). It's 100% pure MOBA.

    Thank you for your time!

    On topic, I know they only do strategy games but it would be cool if you could actually fight with your commander like in KUF and TK.

    The Term "MOBA" is a total broad stroke of the brush when more games would Fall under this Term

    CS:GO - MOBA
    WoT - MOBA
    Warthunder - MOBA

    pretty much anything would fall under this title

    Multiplayer Online Battle Arena

    And since Arena meaning "a place or scene of activity, debate, or conflict."

    This could be applied to any game with in which you join fight and leave.

    So in turn this game would fall under a MOBA title

    But as most people think MOBA and think League of Legends or DOTA 2 This game does not feel or play like this.

    you could even put dayz and left 4 dead in the moba category according to their definition. hence the trolling flag for these idiots, thank you.

    Seeing as Wargaming is involved I'm sure the game won't be horrible. They're pretty much the kings of the non DOTA-like MOBA world. That interface is already immediately recognizable.



    Not sure exactly how this will work out, but I'll keep an eye on it. It could be interesting.



    The business model will work out like this:
    Create a unit > wait for 5 minutes or choose to accelerate > choose to accelerate and pay 5 gems.

    Seriously though, I hope it won't ends like Clash of Clans.

    So let me get this straight. When someone calls a non-mmorpg online game like survival games as a mmo you all freak out because that someone is wrong according to you. But you can easily call every goddamn online game out there as a moba and think that's right? Well that's rich... So in your defination cod, cs go, bf, quake, tf2, overwatch, rocket league, fifa, nba 2k, sc2, aoe, coh etc. basically every kitten online pvp game is a moba? Waow... Then I guess I can call them mmos too right? They all have massive playerbase. They are multiplayer and online. Check check and check. What a logic...

    This discussion turned into the shitter rather quickly, didn't it? No, TW: Arena is not a MOBA, that's just complete nonsense.

    TW: Arena is surprisingly fun, I played ~50 or so games of its earlier CBTs last year. I had some gripes with it though, I hope they get to nail down the feel of the game. It was pretty close when I played it last year, just ever so barely missing the apex.

    Of course it is a MOBA. But that is not really important. You can't stop trends anyway. More important is if it's fun. So I will wait and see. As they cooperate with wargaming I am quite sure you can try it for free and see for yourselves.

    That would make COD a moba as well. Or world of tanks.

    So, can we ACTUALLY discuss about what will happen with the game rather than just debating if it's MOBA or not?

    Like, what possible kind of items they'll sell on their cash shop for the game's monetization?

    Would love a more multiplayer friendly Total War game, as they are the only rts's I play anymore. Yet, there's a reason I haven't played a MOBA to date. So I'll pass.
