After Empire...

[Aemilius Paulus]

China/India TW is NEVER going to happen. Its just not mainstream enough, and doesn't appeal enough to gamers in core markets (Europe/N America).

Ancient TW isn't a bad idea, but I'm sticking by Rome2

An Asia ton Barbaron-style Total War would be nice with China and India. I gotta admit it is true that it may not be "mainstream" enough, but then again, I am sure that all of the TW fans would buy it. However, I am afraid that TW fans are not the only people who buy the TW games. Much of the sales probably consist of people who simply see a "cool" new RTS game or just simply a game with huge amount of units that can be simultaneously played and buy it.

Despite the fact that both China and India both have more than two billion people, most of those people do not own computers. Nevertheless, huge numbers of people own PCs, mainly because that even a small percentage of Indians/Chinese amounts to large numbers. Despite this, I doubt any of them are stupid enough to get any type of software legally. Therefore it is, like Mount Suribachi said. It's like having a Russia: Total War - no sane Russian would legally buy/download it!

Still, I stand by my beliefs, while China/India TW may be unlikely, it would still be a fresh, excellent addition to the TW saga. RTWII, on the other hand, would be somewhat pointless as RTWI already has pretty good graphics and features. MTW had horrible graphics and it lacked many features of M2TW, which is why it had a remake. RTW is not the same. I seriously doubt that CA would consider doing RTWII. My hopes are that they will try a Bronze Age Total War, which isn't too far from reality. A smart thing to do in CA's place would be to do surveys to see what the fans want.

Anyway, I voted for Shogun II since the Shogun graphics and game mechanics do need a makeover.
