Next Total War Possibilities

How do you model Manchu or Mongol overlords becoming Sinicised? Not to mention the interesting ideas of trade-as-diplomacy, and the mandate of heaven.

I don't really think you should, because that would mean you got conquered. :skull:
I'm usually fine with the Yuan Dynasty, but not when it's developing over my FL's dead body. :laugh4:

I tried Blue Lotus half an eternity ago, it was quite unfinished but probably has had much work since then. Perhaps that would satisfy some's thirst for Asian TW. It's hardly a realistic mod though.

No they have their unpayable national debt, bankrupt citizens, a non-functioning health care system and all those wonderful outdated infrastructure and industry... Muslims.... yes it can be a pain, but you have.... mexicans!

EDIT: oh this off topic discussion has ended...

Then I would like to suggest a new tw before RTW timeframe, something what represents the Achaemenid Persians, Macedon, Magna Graecia, Egypt, Thebes, Sparta, Corinth, Athens and Thessalia.

Might end at alexanders conquest.

seconded.
Rome will always sell.

word in the street is that the next title will be rome total war 2

Word was that R2TW would be the next one after M2TW and it wasn't.

Ensemble Studios:
Age of Empires
Age of Empires II: Age of Kings
Age of Empires III
Halo Wars

Creative Assembly:
Rome Total War
Medieval 2 Total War
Empire Total War

The next Total War is therefore (not counting expansions) ....
Killzone Total War

I, too, would like to see a Total War set in Asia, or alternatively, in ancient (pre-antiquity) Mesopotamia(/Eastern Mediterranean/Egypt/Persia?).

Also, TW's could use a touch of EU's(/CK), perhaps mixed in with a little Civ influence...

Asia and Early civilisation would be interesting, but I would like to see an EB version of a Foundation of Europe AD 500 - 1200. But most of all a game spanning 509 BC - 1550-ish AD, year by year, four seasons a year, 150 factions WUHUUU!

I believe ETW is supposed to have no hard-coded limit for provinces or unit types so its quite possible if you can get the melee mechanics to work well.
