I would be content with "Caveman TW" as long as the AI was decent, to be honest. If CA continues focusing on flashy graphics and giving us games with non existent AI, I am not going to try it, whatever they might release.

True that!
I would love a Total War about ancient Israel beginning with King Saul. At that time (just like today) Israel was surrounded by people who either wanted their lands, or just didn't like them at all. Thats what I would like in the new total war.
Hm.....what about the Dark Ages? They cover this a bit in Medieval, but what about having it as the central time period? Early factions could be Saxons, Angles, or Celts, and later factions could include Anglo-Saxons, Danes, and Franks......
I want to pilot my Triremeeees!!!
So, for me, whatever game settled in rome or grece is ok, but people, could you just think to the spectacle of seeing your big Eye boots surfing on the see... it was a dream of the childhold, i saw all that "peplum" genre film on the tv...
I want the triremes.... yes.
And i could be very happy even with the same quality graphic of rome tw, not medieval. I think if they kept the same graphic of RTW but added the navy battles, that could have been a game....
ALSO: The sea should be divided in "Zones" like provinces on the terrain map, so if you put a fleet on a sea Zone, let's say the Ionian sea zone, you control that zone of the sea and the traffics, so, if an enemy want to take control of that zone, have to attack your fleet....
If i control a particular zone, nobody can pass trhought that zone, so the enemy cant transport his troops, and have to face my fleet to take control...
I cant even disembark my troops on a particular coastal province, if ive not the control of the sea zone adjacent that province...
Again in the faction victory condition, there should be some Sea "zones" to fully control, as in normal terrain provinces....
AH! just a dream...
I could have any total war game as long as it has a decent A.I., but I feel particularly inclined to something related to the Three Kingdoms in China.
That's exactly how it was in medieval.Quote:

All the shores should be divided in sea Zones, except the external sea or the central part of the mediterranean who should be "unconquerable" like the desert province in EB.
Yeah thats a good idea, I really just want them to make a solid sea battle system complete with ramming and boarding parties!:charge:
Personaly I couldn't care if they make a fantasy one, so long as the AI is decent and they include sea battles and a proper multiplayer campaign. For the rest like I say I couldn't care if its fantasy, provided they make it fully moddable, the modability is the important part, after all, then you can make it into anything you like if it is sufficently moddable...
The Napoleon Period,the depth and scope this could have is huge,unless they are planning on redoing what they have already done.
There is one Napoleonic game being developed at this time by the Lordz, remember, those guys who were modding Medieval I and opened up their own studios. Personally I don't like that era, but I wish them good luck and hopefully something cool will come out of it.
A game with China, Korea, Japan, Vietnam, India...drool
I like that idea. Let's hope someone dev reads this. :yes:Quote:
