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.
+
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]].

The Eagle Standard releases a publication every last Monday of the month, and is currently on Volume VI, Issue X.

Since 2005, The Eagle Standard has been the go-to place for anyone looking to get the latest modification reviews and in-depth Total War articles.

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.

Each member of the ES team is usually free to write on the topic they prefer, as long as this falls within the categories above, though of course the ES aims to provide specific works according to the needs of the moment.

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. Flexibility is the rule for us and plenty of time will be allowed to learn how to become a successful ES writer!
