Yup. I want to remind people on one of the first real Multiplayer games ever, Gettysburg. That was played from many "STW-Oldtimer".
I personal see this happen someday, its more or less a hybrid of Napoleon TW.
To get some ideas of developing involved here. Tons of time and money of gamedevelopment today is spent on historians and research.
If you go for something like Rome, you have to research the uniform, names, maps, army and so on…
The big advance of going for RomeII is simple and obvious, that research is already done, you have just to adjust a little bit and i bet, that they didnt
brought all ideas they had in Rome1. So now, they have just adjust a bit and save a lot of money and time.
I doubt that the current game concept can be successful for many more years. At some point a game concept is very good. Id say that about S2, that game is not perfect,
but in many aspects pretty good. At some point people start to ask, why they should pay again and again for the same thing.
This kind of topic raises ever year at least once. With Warhammer CA finally took over a very old idea of going for a "phantasy TW".
To get some of the old ideas in here.
What about a "Future TW", a WW1 or WW2 TW?
There is a lot left, with the problem of the general idea of this game. I can say, that I saw enough of TW. Its always the same, there is almost never something new.
Its not challenging and since we got online gaming, the KI doesnt matter anymore. I played S2 and after 2 months it was boring like hell and I dont even start with all the bugs...
