I vote for History: Total War. The first ever game in the series to feature a map that spans the entire earth! Now that sounds a bit ambitious I know, but I think it could be done and still in keeping with the feel of the previous games. The main features of the game would be:
1. A time period of about 800 B.C. to 700 A.D. allowing for factions to include ancient greece, rome, the mayan civilization, the han dynasties of china, india, persia, and so on.
2. Because the TW series is about re-writing history, the campaign would feature every tribe or civilization that could possibly have risen to power sometime during that time period, including the ones that failed historically! That's a lot of factions, so obviously there would have to be some overlap for region-specific units, but hopefully limited enough to retain the distinct character of each empire's armies.
3. A technology tree, resource trading, diplomacy that works, etc. and much more. Dreaming, I know.
I know this has been suggested before but I don't see it on the poll. It doesn't seem like it should be that hard to do if you keep the number of factions down to a dull roar, and the possibilities for modding are HUGE. Anyway I doubt this will happen for the next TW game, but I just thought I'd throw it out there.
