total war 3????

**Emp. Conralius** · 06-30-2002, 00:33

I think the next in the Total War series should be based around the Hittites, Romans, Greeks, Persians, etc... Punic:Total War. Maybe the name is a little specific about the war between Carthage and Rome, but I think it has a better ring to it than most other examples.

bump

**Stephen Hummell** · 07-01-2002, 07:04

Don't start bumping and spaming again.

**Prodigy** · 07-01-2002, 12:57

I totally agree, lazers are lame.

I would definetly like to see the game based either on Napoleanic wars, or antique.

**JRock** · 07-01-2002, 22:05

If they stick with this game engine, hopefully nothing past 1600AD as the others have mentioned because it just won't work. I'd LOVE to see them have a new full-3D game engine with the ability to portray a Great War simulation. Mustard gas, artillery, zeppelins, early aircraft, early tanks, trench warfare, etc. I don't think anyone makes a game about that right now.

Rome: Total War beginning with the subjugation of Italy and continuing through the 4th century. This game could include many states and troop types (elephants even) not to mention several tactical styles. Genuine formations too.

**Bohemond** · 07-02-2002, 00:07

Yes, Rome plus a bit of Greece and Dark Age to spice things up. Should maybe call it Mediterranean: Total War

Exactly what I hope and expect!

**the Count of Flanders** · 07-02-2002, 01:05

SPQR:Total War, sounds catchy doesn't it? Only problem would be that almost no-one would know that it's about Rome.

**Emp. Conralius** · 07-02-2002, 01:19

That sounds good, Meditteranean: Total War! Similar to my Punic: Total War. Encompassing everything from the Sunnites to the Huns! Perhaps base it around the many unpopular civs. found in the original AOE (Age of Empires). Maybe some Dark Age elements too. Lke the Goths, Franks, Vandals, Gauls...all that!

If it'll stop people drivelling on about the Great War

Ewwww turn-based on a computer. Save turn-based for the real board and figurines and keep computer games RTS please.

**Hirosito** · 07-02-2002, 03:27

civ is the best game ever

**vyanvotts** · 07-02-2002, 03:47

civ 3 is actually one of the most dissapointing games ever.

**Nelson** · 07-02-2002, 03:59

I hear ya JRock. There have been some great turn based computer games like Civ and the Talonsoft titles but I seldom play them. (Play by e-mail is perfect for them though) I push cardboard counters or lead figs around a table top with friends, beer and pretzles if I'm gonna take turns.

**Wavesword** · 07-02-2002, 06:12

I always take ages over my moves and then forget which piece is which in tabletop games.

**KeePah** · 07-02-2002, 13:41

Hey, what did you mean by non american dont know what the Civil War was? Im a Swede and have spent many many many years of studying that (favorite) war. And everyone played North and South on Amiga500!

Civil War: Total War would be nice. If they do it close like to North and South. 1 turn is 1 month or a halv month and so on. And it was many units in the civil war. Many different guns! I love guns! =) Many different cannons etc etc.....

But I'll guess that TW3 would be Emperial: Total war. Europe 1500-1800. That would be a very great game. And if it will come true the Swedes will be in the game as Sweden was the greatest militaristic country in the world 1600 to 1750.

But Colonization: Total War would be very great! But the size of the armies wasent so big so Total War will loose some meaning in the name.

Ok, have to go to play some Shimazu in the Shogun campain =D, take care!

**alKO** · 07-02-2002, 18:53

You're right Keepah! Then there could/should also be Hakkapeliitta's, who were one of the most feared soldiers in Europe at the time of 30 Years War.

**Emp. Conralius** · 07-02-2002, 22:12

Keepah's got a point...

**vyanvotts** · 07-03-2002, 04:33

colonial: total war would be very good, it wouldnt really matter if there wasnt as many men in each battle, maybe the makers could add a few more men for gameplay rather then realisim.....its a sacrifice id be happy with

**Emp. Conralius** · 07-03-2002, 05:07

I think the Creative Assembly is gonna keep going further back in time. Shogun was based around the 15th century, then the MI took it to the 1200's, and now their starting it up around the late 9th century. I predict something like Punic: Total War or Meditteranean: Total War. Something from the Persians to the Huns. But Colonial: Total War sounds promising!

**Stephen Hummell** · 07-03-2002, 05:39

I still say Dark Ages:Total War.

**vyanvotts** · 07-03-2002, 05:42

wont going further and further back limit the gameplay options?

**Emp. Conralius** · 07-03-2002, 06:54

Not really, most of the weaponry and what not comes from innovations from the ancient times. I by all means did not mean to simply that you go back to the point of Neanderthals tough, tht would be pretty stupid! I just was saying that that is the pattern Creative Assembly seems to be following.

**Martok** · 07-03-2002, 12:25

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

What's wrong with these ideas? Personally, those are probably the 2 sub-genres I'd favor most, if only to have a break in the historical wargame mode for a while--CA can always come back to history-based games for Total War 4.

**Emp. Conralius** · 07-04-2002, 00:38

Decent ideas Matrock, it's just they stray away from a more historical setting. Shogun: Total War was based around the Sengoku Jidai, which, besides elentary knowledge of samurai and ninjas, nobody really knew about. And then the MI (Mongol Invasion). I think they'll stickto the facts.

**Fast Death** · 07-04-2002, 01:51

Please, for the love of everything holy on this planet, NO fantasy lands!

Keep it accurate, keep it historical... keep it in reality.

**Emp. Conralius** · 07-04-2002, 01:59

I think Creative Assembly will stick with the facts. I mean, the based the 1st installment of Total War around the Sengoku Jidai. Besides the elementary knowledge of samurais and ninjas, the period was almost unheard of. And then the Mongold Invasions, hell I didn't even know the Mngols "invaded" a secluded place like Japan. But know they're reaching out to a bigger audience with the Medieval moniker. They'll stick to realistic, non-fantasy type things. But your ideas are sound, Im just saying...

**Emp. Conralius** · 07-04-2002, 06:34

Here Here Fats Death!

**Grifman** · 07-04-2002, 07:36

Rome: Total War

You'd have the Carthaginians, Gauls, Germans/Goths, Macedonian/Greeks, Seleucids (Asia Minor & Syria), Ptolemies (Egypt), Parthians/Persians, and maybe the Huns thrown in for fun - though they only came on the scene late in the game historically. That's nine factions including the Romans. And you could have non-playable factions such as the Britons, Jews, Illyrians, Spanish tribes, Moorish and Libyan tribes, Armenians, etc.

And they could create different scenarios - the entire life of Rome, or a campaign to unify Italy, the Punic Wars, Roman expansion into the Eastern Mediterranean, and Rome encircled, trying to fight off various barbarian hordes while holding the line against Persia in the East.
