Okay, I think by now, enough total war players have played Empire enough to know that it's a steaming pile of horse maneur. Naval combat is visually spectacular, but the land battles, lack of a multiplayer chatroom, lack of the option to input currency, ridiculously large and simplistic campaign map, and a number of bugs makes it a mediocre game. I do appreciate the CA team for trying their hardest to appease the fans, but I really don't think they developed it enough. I'd like to see everyone's opinions on the next total war and if it would be possible to expand from Shogun; possibly make an Asia: Total War? Asia has such a rich history, so many personalities to choose from, and so many violent and turbulent eras to work with that I can't possibly see a reason for why CA would pass up the opportunity to start working with Asia. And also, since I have asianic heritage, I'd rather like to have the opportunity to spread yellow fever across the entire Pacific, possibly into Europe. European Imperialism makes me angry and I want to carve up Europe with an Asian nation, damnit!
