total war 3????

**vyanvotts** · 06-26-2002, 01:11

i would be intrested to know on what you think the next episode of total war should be, what era do you think they should do next? i think they should do the imperealism age next and instead of having castles there should be fortresess ect, there should also be naval battles included and maybe u could have men on ships so you could board enemy ships? that would be good if they got it right. the atillery would be very good though. maybe it could be the world map and you could conilise america and have all the natives attacking you with there primitave weapons, or you could forge allicanses with them to fight other colonial powers.

anyways those are my ideas, u got an good ideas for the next total war?

**Puzz3D** · 06-26-2002, 01:37

I think they should redo WE/MI as an add-on to MTW, so that it can benefit from all the enhancements of MTW.

Bump

**Stephen Hummell** · 06-26-2002, 01:58

Nothin' after 1600, cuz i think all gun battles suck.

Maybe from the death of the roman empire to 1087 (when MTW starts). Barbarian: Total war, to when the Almohad threatened to take over all of Europe, to Charlemange, or when the Norse of the North raided and plundered most of Europe. To when William the Norman took over England with brutle force.

Or Ancient: total war. With the hittites, egyptians, hebrews, greeks, babyalonians,

In a different game, the romans and barbarians.

**Darkmoor_Dragon** · 06-26-2002, 02:13

I'd like to see 410-1066 "Dark Ages - Total War".

The final days of the Roman Empire and the flux of barbarian peoples... The "real" King Arthur in Briton blah blah blah.

**Stephen Hummell** · 06-26-2002, 02:25

Exactly what I was thinking Darkmoor Dragon.

**Wavesword** · 06-26-2002, 02:36

Puzz 3D's idea is good, it would be moddable if we have a proper editor for the sprites. Otherwise it is extremely unlikely- ie unprofitable. The add-on will probably make some of the unplayable factions playable I would hazard, and add in another Mongol Invasion scenario I daresay.

**vyanvotts** · 06-26-2002, 02:37

yeah that would be good, but i really think the castles could be improved more, men on walls maybe? men being able to be shoot off walls? that would be brilliant

**DrNo** · 06-26-2002, 03:12

Well what I would like to see would be Total Total War.

i.e. They provide all the neccessary to allow you to customise to your hearts content and set up whatever campaigns you like from history.

However I think were a good few years away from that so for now I would go with a world campaign from 1600 onwards involving much more complicated trade and resource handling, and guns and ships and ....

It wouldn't have to be based on the actual world historical happenings but using the historical tech etc...
A bit like Civ I suppose but in a much narror time span and with the Total War real time fighting.

**vyanvotts** · 06-26-2002, 03:20

yeah that would be good drno, althought it would have to stop in early 1900's or maybe earlier because onece u start getting tanks ect i think it would proably ruin it.

**HardRock** · 06-26-2002, 03:52

I would like to see all three verson put together ..

World battle

**vyanvotts** · 06-26-2002, 04:00

maybe in the next version they could add a campaign map on multiplayer? that would be brilliant

**LittleGrizzly** · 06-26-2002, 04:12

vyan we've bn dreaming of that for bloody years!

**vyanvotts** · 06-26-2002, 04:12

well no one mentioned it in this post so i thought id bring it up!

**Kraellin** · 06-26-2002, 05:22

i would guess one of three possibilities: mediterranean: total war, american civil war: total war, or world war I: total war. (this would be the toughest to do, but is perhaps the most neglected war when it comes to computer war games).

there are other possibilities, of course, colonial: total war, fantasy: total war, total war construction kit, egyptian: total war, alexander: total war, sci fi: total war (that one could be a hoot), massive multiplayer: total war (lots of possibilities there also), off world: total war (pre-industrial, just not set on this planet, but still humanoid), waterworld: total war, and so on and so forth.

mediterranean and american civil war seem the most likely to me, but world war I also works because there was still a lot of hand to hand trench warfare and whereas mechanization was starting up, it still wasnt the big item yet. thunder bombers become gas units. siege engines become tanks, mortars are still mortars...the conversions are pretty easy. the hard part might actually be the trenches.

nice to speculate, though, but before they start the next in the series there's still an expansion pack needed for m:tw and maybe a patch or two.

**vyanvotts** · 06-26-2002, 05:41

world war 1 is a good idea, but what about the early planes they had in that war? they wouldnt be able to be flying around the map, or just land on the battle feild ect, got any ideas about how u could sort this probelm out? maybe you could have a button like on sudden strike (ever played that?) where u click where u want bombed or wuteva and the planes come in from out of the map,that sound ok?

Ever since I saw the stained corpses on the battlefield that look like they've been run over, I've wanted some demented modder to produce an entirely pointless mod where a tank fights against a whole medieval army, imagine hordes of warrior monks climbing all over it!
WW1 gets my vote too actually, at least when I select all and charge into my own thunderbomber fire I'll be being realistic! One needn't just stick to the trenches either- plenty of fun as the Austrians and Italians fight for the wooden spoon. Hopefully the MP would have a Diplomacy element.

**Papewaio** · 06-26-2002, 06:01

Howabout First Person: Total War. An RPG version.

Play the battle from the point of view of the ashi... I'm sure a lot of us would be leading the rout after being told to block the warrior monks 'Give me a low level ashi to bash and a bit more dosh and I will be the next superashi, block these wm I will have to start my campaign all over again'

Or the point of view of the centurion. The AI controls both sides and you have to see how well you can survive... obey your general and you may get better armour or weapons... disobey and you may find yourself in the garrison force putting down rebellions.

**vyanvotts** · 06-26-2002, 06:24

i once remmber seeing a screenshot for a first person veiw along time ago when there was a small section in a pczone magizine about a game called shogun total war....apprantly there was meant to be a first person mode to, it showed you as an arhcer on a cliff pointing down on a army, anyone else see this?

I would like Total War to come back to Asia. Maybe Imperial China or (and) before and after Mongol Invasion.

Personally, I think TW World War I (or II) wont be sucessfull since they fought (in trenches, streets, etc.) without real fomation. There will be just to much individualism - for this we have Medal of Honor.

**Stephen Hummell** · 06-26-2002, 07:37

Prodigy is right. The gameplay would be messed up if they did WWI or WWII.

The American Civil War would be an all gun battle, except for cavalry.

So I think they should do somethin' before or during the time period of MTW .

**Sir Kuma of The Org** · 06-26-2002, 08:00

I'm guessing the next Total War will be fantasy based something like The lords of the ring or Star wars.

Remember you heard here first

hehe your funny. Your kidding right.

I hope he is.

Take that back !!

**Khan7** · 06-26-2002, 11:21

Individualism is generally equal throughout wars, the details just change. In WWs I and II they very much fought in formation, the formations were just a lot more spaced out.

**theforce** · 06-26-2002, 11:51

I think the battle among the cities of Greece. That shall be like Shogun but we could have accurate invasion of the Persians etc or campaigns like Alexander the Great etc
