What do you want in next TW title?! What?!

I go for ''Babylon, Carthage, Ancient Egypt etc.''

I voted for Karl the Great because it's an interesting time period and it could connect RTW and MTW time periods!

Can't vote, but I would go for Africa. It wouldn't necessarily make for the best or most interesting gameplay, but I would sincerely find it refreshing. Sub-Saharan Africa has so far been severely underrepresented in any game worth of mention. (The only counter example I can think of would be Command & Conquer.) Not that I wouldn't love any of the other options. A few on which to comment:

Shogun 2: To sate my combined nostalgia and raging nihongofilia.
China (warring kindoms): Always found this period interesting. "Hero" anyone?

In addition to this I would like to see the 16th and 17th centuries covered. Maybe also something not thought of at all, for example the Stone, Bronze and Iron Ages (I'm an archaeologist ;)), Pacific Isles, Post-Apocalyptic Earth, whatsoever. Those would probably have to be modifications as they would come into conflict with CA's style. I also have a few ideas for a warcraft modification, again mostly due to nostalgia (war1 & 2).

Have not voted!

My first choice would be from 1500 to 1700. Musket and Pike, Age of Exploration and all that good stuff. Great Ships, Privateers, Vast Colonies and lots of petty wars.

Now you have a close second listed above. Karl Der Groß/Charlemagne
but I would run it into the early medieval period…say 1100...for no particularly good reasons.
The dark ages through the Viking times is all…but just think of all the factions!

Hi,
I would like TW to leave the tried and tested formula and exlpore more possibilities, like;

- FPS or fighting/adventure games inspired from established TW themes (STW: Geisha, MTW: paladin, RTW: centurion etc)

- A true RTS inspired by established TW themes and developed within a TW framework, were there is no morale, no fatigue and no situational combat parameters - something in other words to make C&C or Blizzard tremble.

If CA is resolved to stay within the TW concept, then, i would like a TotalWar that will cover 2500 years of history as well as the Earth, Mars venus and Andromeda in one campaign, starting from the stone age and teching up all the way to motherships and photon guns, with war waged on earth and beyond. possible technologies may be:

.The time machine, with witch you can import war technologies from one period to another - say tanks in medieval japan to have samurai tank cavalry and airdrop planes during the 12th century enabling you to assault the Holy Land with paratrooper crusaders (literaly "heaven sent").

.Personality transcendental electromagnetic hijack, enabling the summoning of a historical personality to the present time to lead your armies. Players can thus take the place of Tokugawa Ieyasu, Richard the Lionheart, George Washington, Bob the Clubman and Rexor the Alien.

.Panspermia operations; sow life in other planets and guide it over centuries of evolution with the use of UFOs and other high tech vehicles to ensure future allies for your faction.

!it burnsus!
