Possible Final TW Game?

In 2-3 years we will all remember things differently, jaded.

MTW2 was also said to be the final nail in the coffin numerous times, as far as I remember!

I hope not. I've enjoyed almost all the total war games and there add-ons so far. I hope they add Napoleon to the Grand campaign in a expansion and extend it into the 1800s.

As for the next game I doubt I'd buy RTW2 as I didn't like RTW as much as the other games and right now I can sill play it I want to so wouldn't be interested in buying a remake. something set in china or the east would be fun I think as I know little about the history of that part of the world.

I surely hope this is not the final Total War game. Total War is my favorite franchise game, and there is not one I have not bought. I think I would cry really hard if this were the last one.

Twould totally suck if this was the last one, and I for one would think that a Mongolian Total War or Africa total war would be quite nice, as in both you have a rather large area that was conquered by a much smaller force than the armies that they faced. Thats what I realla want to see as a next game!

I wouldn't mind seeing Total War: Rise of the lower kingdoms.. :D or, "Ancient Empires".. still tons of time periods untouched. Imagine fighting around the great pyramids, or destroying the hanging gardens..

Also, the Eygptians traded with ancient South Americans.

So having a game set in such a time period, with the ability to fight anywhere in the World would be pretty amazing.

Simply put, CA make enough money for SEGA.

That means that we'll see more TW games until SEGA don't see it as worthwhile in supporting them - e.g. poor sales.

I think TW games are most suited to the ancient period to about 1900, as the main arms for fighting are infantry, cavalry and (mostly) direct fire artillery of various forms, which are easier to model.

WW1 would be too complex to fit into the TW model, the battles would be fought on the strat map, because how can you model a battle like the Somme that started in June and ended in November? Small engagements wouldn't cut it for me because the bigger picture is much more important in this time period.

That still leaves us with a lot of time left to play with. I can see there being a lot of downloadable content for the current period, inc napoleonic, US civil war, opium wars etc.

TW hasn't looked at China & surrounds yet, and will probably revisit the Ancient World again next as this is probably the next popular period of history.

Got to say as well that I am one of the lucky ones and have only had 1 CTD when a savegame wouldn't work, and got round it by using the last autosave.
