total war 4

I'm not talking so much about game-buying culture. The conception is that there is a huge game-playing culture here. But that misleads developers by the actual number of game-buyers. Don't get me wrong a large percentage buy games, but they are pirate copies so the developer earns no money.

Aye if I had some spare cash I would invest in a China based TW. And I think if you played it you might just come to love it. Look at the original Shogun. How many Japanese players were there online? Not many, yet it was off the success of that game that the whole series got going.

Sorry to stray off topic.

:laugh4: You could have uh, clubmen... and er.... rock throwing men.... (?) and ummmm.......................... yeah, it would be great! :grin: Actually, I think you could do pretty well with it if you moved it along so that it covered neanderthal up to like copper age type stuff! :2thumbsup:

You all just make me laugh:laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4:

What about a Cold War type game? The Soviets vs. U.S.A. or something like that?:egypt:

Just posting to make the not so nice username disappear from the Entrance Hall index :bow:

How about a Camel Total War?

I'd like to see a C:TW ~;)

User forcibly removed from the forum :bow:

EH mods will take care of the rest.

All due respect to camels, but without horses for them to get bonus against, who would they excell against?... :bigcry:

I would love to see an updated version of Shogun Total War. And why not a Chinese Total War: my knowledge of Chinese history is very limited but I am quite sure that some of their Empire building must have been just as interesting as the Medieval period in Europe.

Yeah, a Total War game where you can't deploy any troops or fight any battles, lest your country (or the entire world) be immediately obliterated. That would be fun...

I would love a TW game covering some of the years between 1500 and 1800. Not all, but aybe just 1500 to 1650, It'd rock!

What series really needs, is the new gameplay,ideas - much more clever AI, much more deeper diplomacy, much more control on campmap/battlefield, navy battles.
New covered area won't add interest to play. Recruit-build-siege-battle-recruit-build-betrayed-siege-battle:wall: All the same... You must be TW fanatic to play this endlessly.:no:
As for me, I will not even think about buying next games, if they'll not about romans/greeks/barberians.

They really could do with a better AI... It would really add to the game! The AI generals are ok... *kinda* But their factions make no sense... They are all very backstabbing and will be at war with you one turn, ally with you the next, and then backstab you the next! :dizzy: Also, I think that you should be able to form vassel (spelling?) states that would pay you money so you don't destory them... They could have the possibility to rebel I suppose... But I would like an AI that you could strike SOME bargains with... "We stop fighting if you give me THIS land or THIS money..."

Id like a 'little effort' added to multiplayer, as for the single player aspect i believe theyre on the right track if they just observe what the good mods are doing and make vh mode alot harder by maybe making you at war with neighbours at the start and making PROPER rebellions.

It would be nice to request help from an ally to attack a province or character stack, of course the ai coud do this too, and perhaps these requests could have monetary values attached, as most players know the game feels so much better with an ally on your side in a battle or on the enemies side although this rarely happens :\

Id also like to see very hard mode make your finances tight so you can only support 2-3 stacks max, and more surprise naval attacks by the ai (moving 2 or more stacks by sea and attacking provinces with little time to reply).

With all the modding that is going on (which allows to change maps, units, names, etc) is it possible to mod, say, MTW2 into games set in the Roman era or in Indies?

Some mod teams are planning to do this. Off the top of my head, I know the Europa Barbarorum, Inca: Total War and Lordz (who made Napoleonic 2: Total War for RTW) teams - all of them teams who have made mods for RTW - are either going to port their mods over to M2 or are considering it.

Therefore if they were all to port, we would get M2 mods set in the ancient era (or "Roman times", if you like), pre-Columbine South America and Napoleonic Europe.

WW1 because everybody was motivated to do that war ...ww2 was like for the french "oh my god not this again" and for the english it was "here we go again gotta teach those germains a leason or two about world domination"~:shock:

but I would have to go with with WW2 evrything was cooler:smug2:

Is work started?
Medieval2 they start shortly after RTW release...

Hi Charge,
As of yet, no work has begun or been announced by the CA in Sussex (the creators of Shogun and Rome) or Australia (the creators of Medieval and Medieval II). I presume that it's currently in the planning stages of development and its setting will be announced about six/seven months prior to the release.

In this case release is about 2009... :inquisitive:

I think that would probably be a good aproximation Charge. S:TW was released in 2000, M:TW was 2002, R:TW was 2004 and M2:TW was 2006. Presumably the next game will either be late 2008 or early 2009. You just got to hope they don't keep us waiting too long!

LOL I doubt they'd start even before they'd finished with Kingdoms, not to mention having to hang around monitoring M2 and Kingdoms for a few months after release and making the inevitable patches to fix bugs etc. before they could truly move on.

They could also think about doing a better version of Shogun ,STW 2 so we would could wait a big max of around 4 years before RTW2 comes out ,just now people are starting to play Shogun and they are liking it.:thinking:

I can wait 3/4 years for RTW2, but if they will make REALLY impressive work.

Back to one of the original points does anyone else think a LOTR TW would be good. If not then a completley new map uniqe to anything real
With the same basic gameplay but with the addition of heroes and hero body guard units
Also if a game was made based in the 20th century WW sort of times they would need to rewrite history to make it fun otherwise it would just be watching men shoot each other
Does anyone know how to get into game design by the way not so much the graphics just the ideas behind the games

Well, as CA had made the comment once upon a time (after Vikings was released) that they were planning basically new engine, second game using same engine, then new engine again (i.e. Shogun and Med1 had same engine, then Rome and Med2 had the same engine), that would mean the next one will have a new engine. Yea, thats pulling a statement from the days of yore, but if they stick to it this would be a good time to make changes that would be necessary to optimize a game engine to model gunpowder units. Thus Napolionic would be a good period.

On the other hand, if they decide to continue using the same engine, then I think/would like to see a China/Kingdoms based TW game.

Actually, CA began working on the new engine for Rome in 2000, shortly after Shogun was released. So it's entirely possible they've been working on a "3rd-generation" engine since 2004 when Rome first came out.

Is such a scenario actually likely? I don't know. But it certainly is possible.

I think they wont take that next big step into a new engine such as Napolionic total war because there is already a game on the Napolionic wars....
im still trying to find the name but I remember seing it at best buy:inquisitive:

They should do a remake of shogun then when the money comes in they do there big RTW 2 master piece:2thumbsup:
