Eagle Standard

The current Eagle Standard logo

The Eagle Standard is a TWC publication that focuses primarily on the Total War aspect of the forum. Its many features include, interviews with modding teams, previews of up and coming modifications, TW fansite reviews, editorials, AAR submissions, AAR reviews, coverage of the various modding contests on the TWC, TW related announcements, modding tools spotlights, TW forum reports and monthly Picture of the Week round-ups.

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.

The Eagle Standard releases a publication every month, and is currently on Volume VIII, Issue V.

He is currently away from the forums for a sabbatical. Elrond: Elrond is another writer for the ES, although he is currently away from contributing to the monthly publications.
