The rumours and baseless speculations are close to the truth?
You might as well give us the entire deal xD

Such an odd choice. Will such an expansion sell much, I wonder? It is very pheripheral to my field of interest, at least.
I'll bet CA hasn't even decided what the expansion is going to cover yet. With regard to previous TW games I believe CA waited until each one had shipped before committing to working on the expansion packs.Quote:

Of course they have already begun designing the expack. Medieval 2 is already pretty much done so most likely some team members have already begun working on the expansion because they don't need the whole team to do the last final touches.Quote:

I am going to wait and see how MTW2 is first before I even think about mods/expansions
HOOoooWWwwLl

I'm with you guys, I don't want anymore new world, heck I didn't even want it in MTW 2, but since they added it, it seems likely they'd add more of it.CA seems to like south america. Look at how often they talk about aztecs :P
There will never be any Arab Invasion mod.
It would be quite disturbing for muslim players and christians players alike to play a game in which hordes came out of the Arabian Peninsula, slaughtering everything in theyr path, burning famous libraries, killing christians and zoroastrians, etc. Its simply too disturbing, especially as it would mean to represent some of the companions of Mohamed in the game, etc... it would be scandalous for both muslims and christians alike.
For the christians, playing the Crusader era is not much of a thing, due to the fact that those happen around 1000 years after Christ, they contradict the christian doctrine, etc...
But when it cames to Arab Invasion, it is not the same thing ~:)
It would make zero sense for CA to do an expansion for MTW2 that centers on the conquest of the New World. The sheer amount of work required to flesh out the map of the Americas and the factions involved would take a considerable effort. Let's not even discuss the research and man hours needed to create the native units and buildings in addition to the relevant European and Asiatic buildings and units of the period.
Would it be insane to want a Total War game that included the Total World? I'm thinking Europa Universalis-esque campaign map.
The only reason i want the new world is so I can have custom battle where it is Aztecs vs. Muslim battles located in Northern Europe in the middle of a winter's night. (That would be a classic).
No it’s:Quote:

Very good, so most likely it won´t be exclusively (sp?) the NEW World....You won´t tell what the expansion ´ll be Capatain Fishbones, right?????
Instantly accepted without reservation, old bean.Quote:

I suspect the campaign would also suffer: I can't imagine diplomacy having as big a role, presumably you'd still have religion, though possibly not as much, no castles were ever built in the new world, not much in the way of 'advancing through the ages' etc.
I just generally consider the exploration of the new world to be after the medieval age is over and done.
