The Eagle Standard is the main newsgroup around which anything dealing with the Total War aspect of the community, forum reports, AAR submissions, AAR reviews, mod reviews, TW fansite reviews, editorials, modding team interviews, and anything else relevant to the TWC modding community and TW community as a whole is covered.

Since 2005, '''[https://www.twcenter.net/forums/content.php?126-eagle-standard_1 The Eagle Standard]''' has been the go-to place for anyone looking to get the latest modification reviews and in-depth [[Total War]] articles.

The Eagle Standard is not to be confused with the Helios, which is another newspaper published every fortnight for TWC, but is primarily concerned with the happenings in the forum, as opposed to the Total War games.

No need to worry that your English or writing skills may not be up to the task, we're happy to provide help and plenty of guidance. Flexibility is the rule for us and plenty of time will be allowed to learn how to become a successful ES writer!  If you are interested and would like to know more please contact the current director shown in the staff list below.

Others claim he isn’t actually doing anything but is either doing one of two things; working hard with his partner Dragases1453 on the Aevum Fidei mod, or more likely, abusing his Moderating powers finding the names and addresses of everyone reading this and will promptly be dispatching his evil underlings to slap an eviction notice on the door of your home and issuing a false jury duty summons through the letterbox.

It produces: - previews, reviews and retrospectives of TW games - reviews and retrospectives of modifications for TW games - interviews with TWC modders - articles relating to all aspects of the TWC Modding Awards; and - articles and interviews connected to other TW-related projects based here at TWC.

If ranting and raving about the latest developments in the Total War world is something you do; if reviewing modifications such as the Last Great War and the Third Age: Total War or interviewing the most well-known modders sounds like your cup of tea, then why not give it a go? No need to worry that your English or writing skills may not be up to the task, we're happy to provide help and plenty of guidance.
