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

[gollum]

A more direct answer would make that more clear.

Unless you make decisions for CA, you cant speak for CA.

What you mentioned would be fun and enjoyable but would take about 10 years, maybe more.

As i mentioned, i am sure that if CA decided to do it, it would have been released in 2 years sharp.

Maybe, but it makes more sense having maybe overpowered cavalry than spaceships in the Roman period.

Again it depends who you ask, but for me medieval cavalry in pre stirr-up antiquity is no less than science fiction, no matter how you call it.

As you said, everyone is entitled to their opinion, which means I don't have to ask you for it.

Of course not - neither you should expect me to listen to you though.

Total war games have been evolutions of their predecessors, not starting a completely different thing, otherwise it wouldn't be the Total War series, it would be something else.

Yes and no. It depends how you define the term TW and what it means to you. For some its been a few years now that it has become *something else*.

As you said everyone is entitled to their opinions, and I was simply commenting on what you said, I don't want to get into an argument other something like this, so we will shoud just forget about it.

There is nothing to forget - just your sarcasm detector is broken.

!it burnsus!

I wasn't speaking for CA.

And it would definately be incomplete and who would play it.

Unlike spaceships, medieval cavalry was real, so it isn't science fiction.

I don't.

There was no sarcasm.

I think we've gotten somewhat off-topic here (and I'm just as guilty as anyone of helping cause that ). If we want to continue debating this, we should do so elsewhere (probably in the Entrance Hall). In the meantime, let's get back to the original subject.



I would honestly love to see a game set in either China's Spring & Autumn and/or Warring States period(s). There are enough factions to make it interesting, and neither of them particularly stuck out as being likely to conquer their neighbors -- they all had a decent shot at ruling China and establishing a new dynasty. The era also saw a rise in iron weapons, which helped changed warfare dramatically in that region.

Finally, you could play as the kingdom of Wu and hope that perhaps a certain military strategist might become available as a general....

I would love to see a game set during the Romance of the Three Kingdoms era. While it is heavily fictionalised in modern media it would certainly make an interesting period to cover.

Has anyone here ever played one of the Dynasty Warriors series of games by Koei? It would be great (but awful from an accuracy and tactical perspective) to see the rediculously powerful generals from those games appear on the battlefield with their full set of unbelivably powerful attacks.

Lastly I would love to see an entire army routed by one man on a red horse, carrying a gigantic halberd.

L-L-L-L-LU BU! *Dies*

*Editor's note. This poster does not actual want CA to attempt to include a beat-em-up section into its games, no matter how awesome that might potentially be*

American civil war would be an awesome time period if it doesn't get covered when ETW comes out. Also maybe as an expansion pack for ETW they could have a smaller mini-campaign in the Caribbean in the 1500s or 1600s. When you think about it, that would be really cool! You could play as a general or governor of an island and only have limited resources supplied from the mother country with which to dominate the Carribbean.

I would really love it if, provided the AI in Empires is solid, CA rehashed Rome but gave the other major factions of that period equal treatment.

On the other hand I could really go another installment of Shogun, a remake is long overdue.

Beyond that China's Three Kingdoms would be great.

i voted for asian:tw. not only do i love samurais and early rocket launchers and stuff, but they have NINJAS(hopefully). i think rome:tw was already a great game, i personally think its fine as it is. however, i cant play it since something got corrupted....
