I am really sorry to confuse you guys http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/frown.gif i did some research most christians are coptic(nowadays)but i remember before that Lebannon,Iraq and Syria had nestorians(who helped the crusaders for a while).Egypt,Lebanon and Syria has coptic christians,but in Iraq the Christians are called "Kaldanian Christian" sounds weired to me but anyone who knows the branches of christianity could elaborate a little bit?
How about a Mongol Total War ?
You are the your Khan, and you have to grow your empire throughout Asia till Europe. That would be cool no ?
a China total war would be more interesting,set in the timeframe after the fall of the Han Dynasty.the chinese had a hell load of fighting units,seige engines and several types of cavalry and elephants,also interesting ship battles.
A new patch for Shogun ( New units ) not more
I would love to see them focus on the Japanese again...and...whoever said that the Japanese don't have an R????
Rashomon? RAN....
ka ki ku kay ko.
ra ri ru ray ro
they don't have an "L" notice when they write in english they switch r with l(ie Plesented,Victoly...etc)there are some outrageous stuff on www.engrish.com if your interested.
I think after RTW we'll have RTW: back to the Past (or smth like this). Then perhaps China TW will be a reasonable choice. With an add-on sounding like Mongol Threat or so.
Shogun - 2: no.
The ra or la argument:
Those are just approximations of the Japanese syllables. The sound is really between the two, probably leaning more to the la sound, and the tongue is in the same position as it would be to for the 'd' sound in english.
This is why when Japanese people write in english, they sometimes confuse 'r' and 'l'.
I don't think Toyotomi would invade the Philipines, the Spanish owned it.
Three words:
Mesoamerica: Total War
http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wink.gif
Problem is, will it be marketable? I mean, no horses, no elephants, no iron...
Unleash the brush turkeys http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/biggrin.gif
A.
interesting,so all we fight are mesoamericans with slings,stick with thorns,blowpipes and probably archers and horse archers up north(read:native americans,or red indians).
And I would like to be able to buid more than one castle in each province - just like it was in reality - this would be a big change for the gameplay. I don't believe STW2 will ever be created by CA , but ChinaTW is certainly more propable and IMHO more interesting (as you can conquer all of the asia http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/cool.gif )
I thank you for bringing up this enteresting matter,a China TW would be really interesting especially in the 3 kingdoms era(Staring from the yellow turban rebellion and ending with the battle at Fall of Wu by the Jin empire).and Alot of interesting units,i can stress that the chinese used alot of crossbows and spearmen,but they also used ShanQi cavalry(cavalry that are good in mountains,region specific unit)Nanman Infantry(Nan Zhong natives,good in forests)also elephants and several types of seige weapons.But what would make my day is to set up ploys in battles,and that was used commonly in that time,like convincing officers to defect or planning to make an officer defect for example,also setting up traps and decoys like empty camps and spike traps,as well as the famed fire traps that could demoralize units.and last but not least armies with 100,000 men
i personally would like other total war games like china, napoleon, or america.
u can easily do shogun too. just mod shogun into rome engine
I personally think an Asia: Total War would be a great idea with China, India, Japan, Korea, Mongols, and Khmer.
Since I know most about India- it could have incendiary weapons, a variety of war elephants (with lancers, archers, for assaults, or for siege), Rajput cavalry (swift, fierce horsemen), Dograta or Tigrata infantry (fierce jungle warriors), Chaver Pada (world's first suicide squads), Kumaons (good mountain fighters), nagas (means 'snakes' excellent stealth fighters), Kshatriyas (generic name, nobles, elites), Assam infantry (legendary fighters, good against superior numbers). Also, a variety of forts, castles, and traps unique to the subcontinent.
geez..since the category is getting bigger and bigger....why not make it Civilization:TW....the map will be a massive map of the globe,...all super powers of a certain era will have to try to conquer the world...wouldn't that be fun,...muahahahahaha think of it as CivilizationIII...
But yea if anything, people will probably just mod the RTW into STW2...thats always easier...and a lot cheaper http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/smile.gif
I know you meant that as a joke, but it would actually be a great idea http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/joker.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/joker.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/joker.gifQuote:

I agree with faisal. I think the next game should focus on east Asia with an emphasis on China. The ancient chinese were reknowned for their incredible cities and huge armies replete with massive siege engines. Even the great Khan respected their culture enough that he caused dissent in his own ranks by copying many chinese methods that his men thought were too "un-mongol." Read up on some of the accounts of Marco Polo, they can be a real eye-opener. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wink.gif
As for Japanese isolation, it wasn't until Commodore Perry sailed a fleet of US warships into Tokyo Bay in 1854 that the Japanese began to realize how behind the times they were and opened themselves to new ideas and technology.
Meiji Reformsthat propelled japan to the industrial age,probably the only asian country in that time to ever come out of the "dark ages" http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ons/tongue.gif
and into "Industralization age" and into an age of "Expansion and Conquest "....Quote:

The only family link was with his cousin King Felipe II of Spain. So from 1580 to 1640 there was a dinastic union. But not before nor after.
The Tordesillas Treatie (1492) was specific about the division of the world between Spain and Portugal. A line was crossed 270 miles west of Açores (Azores).
West of the line: Spanish posession, East of the line: Portuguese posession. In other words: Spain got all of the Americas, except Brasil, Portugal the rest of the world.
Capiche? (this is not Portuguese nor Castillian language)
So in 1542 the Spanish King would have NOTHING to do with Portuguese foreign affairs in JAPAN. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/angry.gif
Please correct your statement.
Tell me one people in the whole world, that hasn't during some period of its history, performed atrocities...Quote:

The only difference is there's still people alive that were affectly directly by such atrocities, have relatives that were affected by such atrocities or people to a loud minority that was affected by such atrocities.
How great and large and terrible we look back at WWII as is most likely the same view that was held in Europe during the Napoleanic Wars. Granted the destruction of WWII was far greater the effect on the populace must have been just as devestating.
Our grandchildren will probably wonder why such a fuss was made over Iraq.
Point taken...Quote:

Anyway I tend for a Shogun 2 having a Map of whole Asia for large Campaigns and a Minor Map of Japan for exclusive Samurai Battles. Like with the VI-addon you can play in whole Europe or focussed on Britain...
This doesn't change the fact that the Portugese appear as a Faction on Macao and the Phillipines...Quote:

Macau was a very important Portuguese trading center in Asia. But not a center for expansion. That was not the objective.
The Portuguese held fortresses in the most important Asian coastal points to control trade through naval power. But, unlike the Spanish, very seldom they explored the inlands. Notable exceptions are Guiné-Bissau, Angola, Moçambique and Brasil.
