I know people have commented on this but I see a lot of "it cant be done" attitudes. (this isnt a rant honest) I bet when they first said they were making an RTS combined with a turn-based game, people had the same attitude "oh they'll never do it, it cant be done" but the fact is they have and look how its turned out.

Im not saying they have to do world war 1 or 2 or anything. Im just saying I would like to do something different rather than the same old charge of cavalry or spearmen or whatever. Even if they have to abandon the old ways of doing it then so be it, if it makes for a better game.

The old saying is "you cant make an omlette without breaking eggs" And the same is true for this company. They are going to have to scrap the forumla and think of something new. Once they have done shogun again, and done Rome and re-done medieval and empire for about the 50th time.

This formula will have to end or it will get too predictable.
I think a Total war game set where melee weapons were not commonly used could be done, but Total War is not ready yet, I doubt even the ETW engine will be able to do it probaly. And I never get tired of spearmen and cavalry, I will still play RTW even in 4 years time when CA will anounce the next Total war game after the one after ETW.
