	Total war - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Total war is a 20th century term to describe a war in which countries or nations use all of their resources to destroy another organized country or nation's ability to engage in war.
		Total war is fought heedless of the restraints of morality, custom, or international law, for the combatants are inspired by hatreds born of modern ideologies.
		Total war was widely practiced by the Greeks, as related in the Iliad, by the Romans, as in the destruction of Carthage, and by the Mongols.

	Strategies of Annihilation: Total War in US History
		In a nutshell, total warriors make war on an enemy’s entire society — what the anthropologists might call its material culture — that is, on the enemy’s resources, food and other economic production, and on anything which might sustain the enemy’s ability to keep military forces in the field.
		Such war is not exclusively modern, but looks backward towards ancient warfare, which often entailed the slaughter of all enemy males, enslavement of enemy women and children, and eradication of the enemy’s whole existence as an independent political society.
		Wars were "bad for business," and the growing importance of bourgeois enterprise in Europe gave added weight to arguments against large-scale war.

	Adam G. Mersereau on Total War & Military on National Review Online
		By "total" war, I mean the kind of warfare that not only destroys the enemy's military forces, but also brings the enemy society to an extremely personal point of decision, so that they are willing to accept a reversal of the cultural trends that spawned the war in the first place.
		The purpose of "total" war is to permanently force your will onto another people group, while the purpose of "limited" war is to temporarily deter or discourage an enemy, or to impede the policy of another country long enough to accomplish particular goals.
		In Vietnam, America wanted a total victory — we wanted to impose our will onto the North Vietnamese and alter the course of their very culture — but we were unwilling to fight a total war.

	Rome: Total War: Preview -- Strategy Informer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Rome Total War is the long awaited historical strategy title from Creative Assembly and has been in development since the original total war game, Shogun.
		In previous Total War games each region had its own single map, so there was a limited number of battle maps to fight on.
		Reading all this, you may get the impression that Rome Total War must be very complicated, but if you’ve had experience with previous total war incarnations you will realise that everything is done with simple clicks of the mouse and the occasional use of hotkeys.

	The Claims for Total War Revisited
		Total Warriors like to recommend General Sherman's cute little saying that "war is hell." You can see Sherman quoted about once a day at NRO and other such places.
		A war carried on with old-fashioned restraint and respect for civilian lives and property would not obviously be worse, if it lasted beyond some arbitrary time, than a shorter war carried on with every possible weapon available to imaginative Total Warriors.
		We learn little enough from the claim that Total War saves lives; we don't know whose lives are being saved, nor do we get an estimate of how many will be saved, proportionately, by carrying on Total War instead of some other kind of war that might last longer on the calendar.

		As I applied both the Viking Invasion pack and the Medieval: Total War XL mod back to back, it was difficult for me to be able discern which were added by the modder and which were "officially added" by Creative Assembly.

		Everything from the legionnaires to the war elephants are done in splendid 3D glory, though happily with scaling options to ensure the game won’t kill every second machine it meets.
		Each city is detailed according to the buildings you have placed in it from the strategic campaign map, from barracks to a coliseum it’s all there, and if a building is destroyed in combat it is immediately reflected on the strategic map.
