What if TW ended...

**Prussian to the Iron** · 03-21-2010, 00:15

im hoping for a new rome or shogun, especially since i never played shogun. if not, ill probly just ditch RTS and buy the new Mount and Blade, then see if my computer can run Crysis.

ive been playing alot of aoe2 lately. love that game so much.

I was always a rtw fan. Never really played the others but i could spend hours playing that game. Still do actually im even relatively happy with vanilla. what was best was how easy modding was. Wanna make the roman factions have a starting civil war, no problem, wanna have carthage start in Britian, simple. Want to make the seleucids actually survive? well that was impossible but you get what im saying.

To echo a lot of others thoughts, I think Shogun 2 is practical, moreover anything else. It was the flagship game that started it all and giving it some new life would hopefully see a lot of people return to the TW series.

Mind you thats if CA don't pee everyone off with day zero bugs and crappy ai that they have been prone to release.

NTW is the least buggy TW at 1.0 in the series' history, at least since Rome (admittedly I'm fuzzy on STW and MTW).

Anyways, I hope they go deeper into the 19th century. Franco-Prussian War, Crimean War, American Civil War, Mexican-American War, Japan opening up, Rush for Africa, etc. Lots and lots there to cover.

A total war that starts in 500BC and ends in 1900 or so

**TenkiWarPRIEST** · 03-30-2010, 04:30

A total war that begins with Dinosaurs and ends with meteor impact.

Frederick II: Total War?

**Rowanda Gaming** · 03-29-2015, 22:28

Total War just needs to create a game based in like World War II or World War I era. Or Space Age. Or Mythology. That would be pretty cool.

A couple people have mentioned the American Civil War and then it was disparaged for only having 2 sides. However, what if the whole continent was involved in the game? Within the Civil War, many tribes were sorting out which side to support. If there were some amount of division by state, maintaining the loyalty of different states could be an integral part of the game. Britain could have also been conceivably involved and traded with both sides to some degree. Russia also sent some Monitors over expressing some support of the Union. Meanwhile, just to the south, Mexico just finished a civil war of their own and was promptly invaded by France which eventually involved Cinco de Mayo among other things. And Spain briefly reabsorbed the Dominican Republic. So it seems there are enough other players to keep it interesting.

Britain and France could have intervened, The Union reached out to Mexico. Almost all of the western Indian tribes rebelled at their treatment and went to war. Russia in 1863 threatened to go to war should Britain or France enter hostilities. Other States and localities had threatened secession, including New York City. It is not a matter of having too few factions. It would be tying them in, in some coherent fashion.

I personally would like to see a Total War: China. A lot of great time periods.
The American Civil War would be great, if only if, they work on the BAI. Otherwise, it will have limited play-ability.
