anders: Those are also excellent points. (They actually occurred to me too, but I admit I was too lazy to bother articulating them. Perhaps that's just as well, though, as I think you put it better than I could've anyway.)

Because it doesn't seem that they have any more time periods for pure TW style games, and I doubt they'll simply drop such a good series. So who knows, we might have a Shogun 2 Total War, and then a Rome 2 and maybe even a M3TW........fingers crossed for that!
To be honest, I think it's a little premature to start talking about more sequels, as there's still at least a few major time periods the Total War series hasn't yet covered. As I mentioned earlier in this thread, I personally would love to see a TW title set in either ancient China or Bronze Age Greece (particularly around the time of the Persian invasions and the Peloponnesian War). There'd be plenty of factions, units, and diplomatic/political situations in both eras to make for an interesting game.
