IGN.com ETW Post-Mortem with CA

[Gregoshi]

I haven't seen this posted here yet, but IGN.com has conducted an ETW post-mortem interview with CA's Kieran Brigden. It's interesting but I'm sure those of you with the game <pause here while I cry a moment> would like to have heard some more details in the answers rather than generic responses.

Two interesting comments on the future of TW:

1) perhaps it was my wishful thinking, but the "no comment" on STW2 screamed "YES! YES! YES!" to me.

2) An American Civil War TW game seems unlikely based on the TW game criteria Kieran spelled out.

American Civil War, if done at all, would be best as an Expansion/Mod of Empire.

Indeed, it would be epic.

Ah, well, one can only hope!

I agree, although some have questions about the marketability of such an expansion to the rest of the world. I, for one, would like to see it.

Well the ray of hope is that small Alexander/Kingdoms campaigns need not fulfill all that criteria. I agree that a full fledged US Civil War sequel or dedicated expansion is probably out of the question, but the possibility of it being one mini campaign amongst several is definitely there.

Good point Graphic. Maybe a French Revolution and a German unification mini-campaigns in addition can satisfy the European interest. Any other possibilities come to mind?
