Medieval 3 Total War?

[edyzmedieval]

How many people around here would like another installment of the Medieval? I think Medieval II Total War was a moderate success, as people liked it more than Rome Total War. Interesting options, replayability is guaranteed, and the Kingdoms expansion pack was a good 20$ spent.

So, how many people would like another installment?

[Martok]

Sure, why not? I'd love to see an installment that combined the best aspects of both titles while improving upon and/or eliminating their flaws. :yes:

[Monk]

No!

Shogun 2 before Medieval 3. Say it with me now! :laugh4:

I think the Medieval setting has been done enough, though. I'd love to see others in the TW series have a graphical face lift/re-imagining before we went over the medieval period again. By the way we have a topic similiar to this running in the Entrance hall (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=106871). Check it out!

You'll get no argument from me, buddy. I'm just saying eventually.... ~;)

[Quintus.JC]

Definitly another installment, but I wouldn't want one for a long time to come. A good ten years later than it should be time for MIII:TW.

[Walternat0r]

Definately need another Medieval, but also deff agree with Shogun 2 first, and Rome 2 aswell. Never played Shogun TW myself but I do quite like the whole Japanese fuedal system thang. And with sexy graphics and whatnot, it'll be minted.

[PBI]

No thanks for me, at least not for the foreseeable future.

Not that I'm not interested in the period, I just don't really see what a third installment could really add that MTW and M2TW don't already give us. Naval battles I guess, but I feel that could easily be added by a decent conversion mod for Empire.

Maybe it could be revisited a long way down the road when the engine has evolved enough from the current version, but for the next few games I'd like to see some new historical periods and settings tried.

[FactionHeir]

Better AI would be a start though. With modding, we can only do so much, but the AI in battles is still quite poor and cannot outbuild the human player on the strategy map either.

Would also be nice to see GA and other MTW features in a M2TW setting.

[PBI]

With luck both those will also be possible in an Empires mod.

[FactionHeir]

IMO too much work involved in porting all the unit cards and whatnot for MTW into Empires. :tongue2:

[TinCow]

If I had to pick a region, I would prefer another Rome before another Medieval. However, what I would really like would be a global version in the Medieval timeperiod. Something like a vastly scaled down version of Europa Universalis, but with the TW battles. I want the whole world to be visible and for people to be able to play factions in Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas. Obviously not the absurd number of factions like in EU, but several on each continent would be nice.

[ByzanKing]

I would love to see another Medieval title but not before Rome 2, Shogun 2, or something based in China. Romance of the Three Kingdoms with TW battles would be excellent.

[The New Che Guevara]

Maybe it could be revisited a long way down the road when the engine has evolved enough from the current version, but for the next few games I'd like to see some new historical periods and settings tried.

Their running out of time periods... then next forseeable era is modern history and the world wars... which is kinda entering into command and conquer area with all the tanks and special weapons.

As to a a Medieval III, I can barely run Medieval II perfectly on good graphics let alone a third wither even better graphics.

[Yoyoma1910]

I imagine after they've spent all this time developing a naval engine, the next game will invariably be something that can use it well. So I doubt Med3 would be that. But I would like to see them try one last time, and hopefully get it right. Because, no matter how much I love and respect both installations, there are aspects of both 1 and 2 that drive me nuts. :wall:


I got tired of 1 because of the completely pathetic Diplomacy, and I got tired of 2, because the battle AI started boring me.

[khaos83_2000]

I will want to see MTW3 or STW 2 or RTW2.
But i want them to spend 5 years making a good and almost bug-free game, rather than to spend 1 year and release a buggy game.

[Gaiseric]

I'll take a MTW3. Like others said I would prefer a some differant eras first though. The TW series has the best battle engine around and there is no reason why the game cant go beyond classical or medieval combat. I'd like to see a TW game from the 1500's on up with the battle engine modeling somthing like Sid Miers Gettysburg. The series could expand futher on into WWI and II using an engine similar to the Combat Mission games of the early 90's. I think with the talent, funds, and fanbase that CA has now, we will likley see some good TW games come out in the near future.

A couple of things that I would request though is an improved strategic and battle AI. More building and economic options for the factions. Many more playable factions. And more of a world/global scope, almost like the game risk, or europa universalis, but with player controled battles.

Also, some peolple may disagree with me, I would like to go back to the maps used in Shogun and MTW1. From the many games I've played in RTW and MTW2, I feel that the AI cannot use the 3D province map properly and I just dont feel the strategic challenge that I felt in these earlier games.

[Galain_Ironhide]

Yes I would like to see another MTW title but not for a few years yet.

By then though CA will probably have gone bust or have been disolved, just like many other gaming companies before them. :clown:

[Veho Nex]

NO MORE MEDIEVAL!! not for another 10 years when the graphics need an update.
Ive had more than enough of europe

[sassbarman]

shogun 2 for me please. no better setting for a totalwar game with the current game engine imho.

[Taurus]

If it came out then why not, but personally as above I would love a new Shogun.

[St.Jimmy]

Never played Shogun but would buy Shogun 2 if it came out. Much prefere a Rome 2 or Med 3 though.

[Samurai Waki]

I'd prefer like a Three Kingdoms Total War; or something taking place before the Greek and Persian dominance of the Eastern Mediterranean.

[Akka]

Only if they fix their battle engine to have proper fights and not glorified duels.
MTW2 was a total let-down due to this single abomination.

Also, only if they start to actually fix their game before launching new ones. I love CA games (except MTW2, which induce me in a deep love/hate state), but I'm really tired about them never working properly.

RTW still has ranged units using their RANGED attack power as MÉLÉE attack power, fog God's sake !

[The New Che Guevara]

I think that if they did another shogun, it'd incorporate China and south east asia as well, maybe in another expansion, but possible in the original campaign.

[Thermal]

possibly, but no where in the near future, i mean decade or to, literally, no need to dwell on eras that have already been covered in depth, its nice to have a change of scenery, era, units, buildings and the rest, medieval 3 would feel like same old in the same dull atmosphere, i could see myself getting bored of it quick without the variation of others, rome 2, shogun 2 or something completely different would come as a priority for me

[Alerion]

Since they already announced that after Empire there will be another game, using the empire engine, we know how it'll look like... I personally don't need another Medieval... Shogun 2 would be awesome... maybe something completely else, but I just can't see how the Total War Model would work in a modern setting...

[Ferret]

I say yes, but in the very distant future. There are many other TW games I'd like to see first.

[Galain_Ironhide]

Its been a while since I viewed this poll. Looks like the yes's have it.

[Martok]

There probably should've been an option for "Yes -- eventually". While many would like to see a MTW3 at some point, I don't think we're in any hurry. ~;)

[Galain_Ironhide]

Exactly as I mentioned earlier. I don't think they could get away with releasing another Medieval title so soon. I'm a patient man, plus I'll need a good 8-10 years to be able to afford another top of the line gaming computer to be able to run these games efficiently. Damn wife and kids spending all my money!

[edyzmedieval]

Galain, you chose to marry a woman and not your computer. :laugh4:

[Galain_Ironhide]

yes and both have been known to cause stress :clown:

[Fookison]

RTW2 Please with the new eye candy and new engine!!!

[Martok]

Good lord, man. Enthusiasm is one thing, but there's no need to shout.... :dizzy2:

[Akka]

I would gladly agree with the enthusiastic man, still :)

RTW conquered me to the Antiquity, and I would really LOVE a new RTW with the new eye-candy (but, again, ONLY if the battle engine is adequate, and NOT the horror from MTW2).

[DisruptorX]

I think you have it backwards. RTW is the game with the horrific battle engine, MTW 2's is pretty good.

I'd like to see the Roman period made into a good total war game, or the ancient Mediterranean world.

[Akka]

I think you have it backwards. RTW is the game with the horrific battle engine, MTW 2's is pretty good.
I suppose that if you like glorified duels in a units-in-formation-based title, you may say so. But the terrible unit cohesion, soporific battles, no-mass cavalry, one-man-fighting-stops-the-whole-unit-charge, the I-can't-deploy-a-unit-here and other abominations were MTW2 inventions.
RTW's only problems were the excessively fast pace and the overpowered cavalry.

Those are only 2 problems, true, but they dwarfed all others, since the battle pace and cavalry were central to the game. Mods somewhat fixed the problem, though I find they swung the balance to far in the other direction, leading to really slow melee.

And the MTW2 problems about unit cohesion and soporific fighting, dwarf all the RTW problems added together.

You just can not decently make a game on medieval warfare when close-quarter combat isn't working properly. That people don't even notice that is mind-boggling, to say the least.
That two hundred-large spear units clashing together ends up in ten people dueling with 190 watching in their back to take their turn, is completely idiotic and nauseating. Overpowered cavalry and excessively fast-paced combat were annoying, but at least there still WAS actual fighting taking place.

[caravel]

I haven't played M2TW but the "problem" you're describing sounds like how units fought in hold formation in STW/MTW? Though I'm sure you mean something else. IMHO the whole battle system needs overhauling if an M3TW or a R2TW are to worthwhile. The tactical battles of the old STW/MTW with the graphics and campaign map of the new games is what's needed.

[Pantsalot]

I think that it would be wrong for that to be the next sequel of a.. sequel. Imagine
if they made a shogun total war 2, with the new technology they have they could
add more diverse animations suiting to a medieval Japan. There is still not much more
they could improve in RTW however, I'd think I'd choose I MTWIII over RTWII..

But as they have said over & over again, they've changed their tactics on their games.
For now on the only sequels will likely be with a gun, though I rather prefer the change.

[KuriousJorj]

Why the hades would you want MT3??? Especially before any other installment?

Why not a "Bible Battles" or something? Why not a revamped Far-East battles? (a map ranging from steppes, down to India, over to Indonesia, up to Japan, and of course, all China?)

I can't see one reason why you'd want another MT after the first 2. What could they add? How would it be different? If it was, half would complain the units were all "fantasy" units, or 'this' or 'that' wasn't accurate down to the tiniest detail.

I agree w/ many, a new, updated version of RTW would be fantastic IF IT DIDN'T HAVE THE INEXCUSABLE FLAWS OF MT2.

Basically, just RTW with increased graphics, a few more units, maybe another faction or so, and a LITTLE increased complexity would be enough for me compared to another MTW.

So not a sequel to M2TW with all the extra bells, whistles and eye candy, yet a sequel to RTW, which would also be more of the same, is perfectly ok? I think this has a lot more to do with personal preference than anything else.

M2TW is hardly a sequel to MTW as it's a totally different game engine. So IMHO a sequel to RTW would be equally as redundant as a sequel to M2TW as you'd just be remaking the same game. The next TW game should definitely be a total departure, e.g. Asia, or a return to Feudal Japan. To get an idea though we'd have to see how Empire turns out as future titles will be based on that.

:bow:

:bow:

As I said, what would be the addition or change to MT3? Sea battles? Beyond that, what would it be?
How much better can the graphics get, w/o changing the nature of the game? What more features can they add, w/o it becoming even more micromanagement? What 'enhancements' would they put in, that are just things they should've done in MT2?

RTW2, or Asia/Shogun, whatever, only with better graphics, would be a significant upgrade (especially Shogun). Even then I wouldn't buy until on ebay (as I recently did w/ Kingdoms for $7). But if they added extra units, factions, and MAYBE features that weren't micromanagement, then I would buy RTW2 new. And Asia TW (not just Japan) would have so much potential... It would be a new game I'd think.

But why make MT3, when it would largely be the same as MT2? (the addition of sea battles doesn't seem enough)

I'd really like a full Asia map as I said earlier. West Russian, India, Indonesia, China, Japan. With actual unit variety. (taking the same units and making them different colors doesn't count as 'different')

[Fookison]

I would love to see another Medieval title but not before Rome 2, Shogun 2, or something based in China. Romance of the Three Kingdoms with TW battles would be excellent.

I agree! It would be great to see a R2TW before another MTW update. S2TW would be interesting as well. The first game was a lot of fun and provided hours of enjoyment.

[Gaiseric]

My yes vote meant yes eventually.

I am excited to see the new Empires Battle Engine in action. I love both the economic/strategic and tactical/battle decisions that I can make in the TW series. Other strategy games that have fewer provical decisions and a rock, paper, scissors, approach to combat, cannot even compare to what the TW series has done with its titles. Lol, I can't even play the Civilization series or Paradox titles anymore without feeling cheated by the math they use to determine who wins a battle. If you take stategy games like these and add an economy that works and a battle engine that matches the TW series you would have excellent games. Rather than build a game from the ground up, CA can step in and improve these games drastically by doing what they do best. There are probably 100's of strategy games out there that could use some of CA's battle magic. Simply take a game, rewrite the economy, and give it a battle engine. Shouldn't take too long. I prefer gameplay before graphics and would gladly play with MTW1 sprites. It would also save them some time. If it takes them 2 years to develop another game, and then another year or two for the modders to make somthing of it, then thats a long time to be stuck playing the other games in the series, lol, even with the great mods. Alot of mods take vanilla and add more flavor. By adding to other games, the flavor and core of the game is already there. That should save some production time/cost, and help to meet the high demand by producing more TW games with more eras.


While I would like to see more TW games spanning differant eras, I also want to wait and see what Empires is like before I hope for too much. Combat with firearms is alot differant then hand to hand combat. A rifle is a rifle and shoots the same bullet no matter who fires it. It would be hard to give units in Empires differant defence ratings because nobody was armoured and a stray bullet could kill anybody. Probably the only thing thats differant between units is their disapline and reload rate. I think that battles in Empires will be much differant then any of the previous series. When I think about it, the battles would be hard to balance and design, and also require alot of playtesting. I am a bit skeptical of Empires, but I am hoping and praying that CA can pull it off.

[Thermal]

NO WE DONT NEED ANOTHER, STOP DWELLING ON WHATS ALREADY BEEN DONE TWICE! :balloon2:

[JCoyote]

What could they add? How would it be different?

I agree w/ many, a new, updated version of RTW would be fantastic IF IT DIDN'T HAVE THE INEXCUSABLE FLAWS OF MT2.

You sorta answered your own question there. Part of a reason for a 3 is that 2 is STILL in some ways an unfinished product.

However, that said, I think it should be at least another 4 years and 2 more games (after Empire) before an M3TW.

The reason for one is not simply better graphics, as so many assume. I guess people saying that see a bunch of nice looking medieval guys on screen swinging weapons at each other and think that's enough; unfortunately it was someone like that who probably pushed 2 out the door too soon imagining that's what means something is "finished".

We need to see a Shogun 2 first, I think the current map system would really shine in feudal Japan. (One concept I've had for it is having a small enough army of a couple or three "Ninja"-type units being able to do ambushes on ANY terrain, with a hit-and-run option to get out of the fight before getting crushed.)

Maybe we should make a thread for an M3TW wishlist though... these games DO take a long time to plan and build, wouldn't hurt to throw ideas out there.

[Fookison]

Good lord, man. Enthusiasm is one thing, but there's no need to shout.... :dizzy2:

Sorry for shouting. I guess I got so excited and accidentally selected a font that was a bit too big for the screen. Oops!!!
Lol!:laugh4:

None the less, a jazzed up R2TW would be sweet. The first one was a classic and deserves to be upgraded in the same manner as M2TW was done.

But of course there will be ETW to fill our hours on the computer come March 2009.......

[Aemilius Paulus]

I still cannot believe so many people said yes. (D:daisy:n n00bs!!!) Who wants another MiNO?!? Wouldn't you guys agree that the original MTW was better than the successor. Just look at what happened to Empire Earth III - and it used to be my favorite franchise with EE I and Empires: Dawn of the Modern World being my favorites. There are so many periods and yet CA would choose to do Medieval for the third time? Wouldn't that be awfully repetitive?

Seriously, Shogun II has a future. A very bright future. Not so sure about Medieval though.

[gollum]

Not sure,
i dont mind another go at the Medieval period but it would have to be a decent one. In M2TW the only decent thing is the graphics - the game looks great. It doesnt exactly play great though and it doesnt feel great either.

A generic Christian Church to represent medieval churches, looking like a Florentine cathedral for all including the Byzantines? Oversized church halls in the infopicts straight out of middle-earth? Cartooniness at the extreme with voice acting and annoying endless mindless talk in the midst of playing? The overbearing abstraction of 400 years in 225 turns in fast gear that are won by most players in 50 with a mish mash of units places names and exotic new worlds? Well if its this kind of Medieval Totalwar we talk about redoing ill pass.

!It burnsus!

[General SupaCrunk]

Not sure, i would like next about Babylon, Greece, Carthage etc.

[Empirate]

I'd like another MTW. However, as eye candy goes, I'm pretty much satisfied with the current version - and Empire will probably one-up it by quite a margin. What I'd like to see in M3:TW is an AI that's actually up to the challenge of a pure singleplayer game. Let's face it, CA will probably never give us what we want most: full multiplayer campaigns. But they should at least develop an AI which poses a challenge in SP!

[HopAlongBunny]

Yes!

MTW with updated graphics...and very little else; well, maybe camel gunners :p

[Beefy187]

I think ill pass on Medieval III. Its just too early to release the third one as we already have MedII.

Classical Greece would be a great option. As we get all the favorites from Athenians, Corinthians, Macedonians, Romans, Carthage, Syracuse and... SPARTA.

Either that or Shogun/ East asia would be a nice addition.

[Empirate]

Wouldn't classical Greece be rather boring?

King 1: "Prepare to suffer, enemies of yore, as I have this army of Hoplites to chastise you!"
King 2: "We fear you not, for we have Hoplites of our own!"
King 3: "Can I play too? I've had some Hoplites lying around like forever, should be fun!"
King 4: "Wait for me! I'm just getting my Hoplites ready! Be there in a minute!"
King 5: "Fear the wrath of my Hoplites, for they are... what? You ALL have Hoplites of your own?!"
King 6: "Yeah, seems that's just the way it is these days - Hoplites everywhere. Thinking of which, those guys here are mine."
King 7: "You are such dicks! I had Hoplites when they weren't all fashionable, and nobody knew what they were! No really! I'm Hoplite Cool!"

[Sir Beane]

The Medieval period is a wonderful setting that really deserves to be done again. Not immediately however.

After CA have released a few more (hopefully not Europe-centric) games and come up with new fancy gameplay mechanics and features, then I would like to see Medieval 3.

If we do see it I would also like it to have greater scope then Med 1 or 2. Perhaps more of the Middle East, Asia and Africa? Including a fully fleashed out South America for colonisation would be nice to, and not the token rubbish tacked onto the end of Med 2.

I agree. No more cash scripts. An AI that can use its economy and armies wisely. Gameplay before Graphics.:beam:

Good choice of games, some of my favorites too.:yes:

I have been trying to think of other close combat eras in world history, before Empires, that the TW series could cover. We have Rome to the Dark Ages to the Middle Ages to the Rennisaince and now to the Age of Gunpowder. And also Fuedal Japan. What other periods are there in world history that CA could make a game out of? The next TW game that I am looking for will have an improved AI, more factions and unique units, more territories, better battles, and less hard-coded limits for modders. Whatever Era CA picks next is the one that I will play:smash:

[peacemaker]

Medieval has already been done twice. E:TW was too close to the line where TW stops being TW, IMO. I've never played Shogun but RTW was definetely a good game. The AI was decent(I'm tired of hearing that it stinks, it's not THAT bad). CA needs to stop focusing on eye candy and more on intelligent AI, decent maps, and having TW battles that werent focused on ranged combat as much(There should be little melee combat in the ETW time period)

[Fisherking]

Frankly, with the advent of the naval engine, I would prefer the more ancient times.
Not necessarily Roman but just using the triremes and quinquiremes in sea battles.
To me, the Asian naval situation is not as interesting. But then I am no expert in their ship types.
In the Mediterranean you have a time span from 1200 bc to the dark ages to ply the waters and develop your empire. Then comes the Friesian ships and the later Viking long boats before you are back to the Medieval period again.

[Emperor of Graal]

We don't need another MTW game
Prehaps a RTW2
But....
Oh Yes there is STW, People of the Guild
We Need Shogun total war II
PLease!!
That is only one I'd really like to see!

[The Fuzz]

I have to see how good/bad Empire is before deciding. But I'd rather a Rome II before Med III.

Thus, "GAH!!" is the only applicable response.

[Theif55]

I Wish for a TW Game In Mordern area Like 1800 - 1945 and Expanison for ETw Like Age Of Discovery where we travel to South east asia China that has been colonize before

[RWT]

I would like a new MTW, but give it 2-4 years. For now, about everything that can be done on a Vista level machine has been done... I'm content with BC and Stainless Steel...

A better AI is about all that's needed. And for that, you'd need some kind of super computer. :clown:

In fact, I don't think there have been any major changes between MTW and M2TW. Just better AI, really.

[masliko]

Definitely ROME II for me.It would be incredible another time around.I can only wish.:dizzy2:

[totalwarfreak]

I am a big fan of medieval 2 total war so of course I would like a medieval 3 total war.

[totalwarfreak]

although I have ROME 2 so I will wait for medieval 3 total war if it comes out :yes:.

[totalwarfreak]

yes that would be good:2thumbsup:

[Larkin]

I'm not sure. I mean that if the game is like Rome2, no, I don't think we need a new reply of Med2! If they use as model Med1, which was a wonderful game .... with different campaign options (early, high, and late) and if they finally give us also a good Renaissance campaign ... and if they erase the priests, the merchants, the princesses and all that crap ..... well, then a new Med game would be really cool.

[BroskiDerpman]

Something that I would enjoy much more Diocle. :2thumbsup:

[Myth]

Some quality necro-ing has happened here. :on_hero:

That being said... I'd love a new Medieval game. I love the period (perhaps even more than classical antiquity), the strife between the major monotheistic religions, the Mongols invasion, the Holy Orders, the radically different army compositions of east and west...

[edyzmedieval]

Quality revival indeed - M3TW would be a very very good idea :yes:

[AntiDamascus]

Medieval is one of my favorite time periods and I played the M2 one a lot. Sadly with the Warhammer and Arena game, I'm not sure how long it'll be until they get around to M3, if ever.

[oz_wwjd]

Maybe not Medieval 3 Total War,but I'd like a edition of the first Medieval Total war that fixes the problems with higher-end graphics cards,among other things. The modding community has done a lot of work to fix the problems,but a lot of this stuff is hard-coded and very hard to fix without a look at the source code-from what I've heard.

Totally agree. Bring back MTW bigger and better.

[The Outsider]

No, no. They will just ruin it like rome. Just give us the chance to play original medieval on new rigs. Thats all i want. I have lost faith in total war. Forget about all the bugs and glitches. The series is not the same anymore. It has been this way since empire.

[oz_wwjd]

It would be awesome if they would listen to the modders and maybe include the best of the mods features into the game maybe? Even hire the best of them on staff,at least then we'd be assured that the game isn't screwed up anymore hopefully.

[edyzmedieval]

MTW should remain as it is, it's a gem. Apart from diplomacy issues, I find it one of the most complete strategy games ever.

And my favourite ever game.

[Vanya]

GAH!

Vanya would be tickled if the newest title was Vanya: Total War. All units would be Vanya. Youngling Vanya's that still have baby-faced heads attached would obviously be no match for the virtue and power of the Vanya Pumpkin Cavalry (with pumpkins as surrogate heads). Musical score would be nothing but Carmina Burana.

GAH!

Yes yes, King Vanya with his heir Prince Vanya have vanya'd through the enemy's vanya's, creating the Empire of Vanya.
