The Guild

This is one of the largest 3 Total War forums, the other two being Total War Center and the Official Forums. It is also commonly known as the 'Org' as it's web address is www.totalwar.org. The Org is home to many mods, the largest of which is Europa Barbarorum.

Created in 1998 by Dan Goldstein, the original domain was a fan page dedicated to Creative Assembly's Shogun: Total War game. The site itself spawned a community of like minded fans that congregated on a subsidiary Echelon board which, due to the large influx of members and subsequent instability, were later discarded and replaced more than once for several on-server board services along with hosted sub-sites.

In 2001 the admins were Terazawa (mainpage) and Anssi Hakkinen (Sword Dojo) and Dan Goldstein was webmaster.

Now, in 2007, TotalWar.org is the largest TotalWar site on the net, in terms of posts and activity in the M:TW and S:TW sections, and the second largest, in terms of number of members. It features an arcade, a IRC and Java Chat, a generally freindly community and is home of many modifications incuding Europa Barbarorum and Medieval: Total Realism. It is currently run by TosaInu, forum administrator, Ser Clegane, TosaInu's deputy, and barroca, website administrator.

Total war.org is the most user friendly, warm enviroment you can find. Although it does not have the amount of mods hosted by TWC, it is somehow a more friendlyopen forum, where anybody can post their views without fear of repression.

The most Popular thread on the org, is somewhat unsuprising as it is in the off-topic tavern. it is of course the Hallowed Babe thread.
