Expansion

[Lamprey]

So what do you guys think will the expansion to Empire's sequel be about?

As long as we're having a completely useless & abstract discussion about things that don't exist :)

By sequel do you mean the second game they'll use the engine for? I think that the next game in the series will be Shogun 2 or a setting in Asia shortly after gunpowder became common. Whatever it is will have to have gunpowder in it.

[Furious Mental]

Shogun 2 would be a bit of a waste because Japanese naval tactics and ship building were pretty rudimentary. If they are going to make a game in that era in that region they might as well include China and Korea so that at least the sea battles aren't totally pants.

I think it might be like MII: Kingdoms. E:TW map is meant to be covering every continent. Expansion campaigns like Napoleon could be made only to include map of Europe and remote places in Asia and Africa with more cities included. Other campaigns like Austrian Succession only include only Europe. and campaigns like south America war of independence and American Revolution could also only include a small specific map only covering the area that's taken place.
