What if TW ended...

[edyzmedieval]

I want to ask my fellow Orgahs what would they be thinking and playing after the end of the TW franchise. I feel that after Napoleon, TW has nowhere to go since modern battles are not suited for this strategy game and the only option is reworking the existing games or going really ancient like stone battles.

So, what do you think about the end of the TW franchise?

And what would you do if...

1. There was a TW competitor when TW ended

2. There was not a TW competitor when TW ended.

Thoughts?

If there was a TW competitor I'd probably buy their games if they received good reviews. Otherwise, I'll stick with my paradox games and civilization games, thank you very much.

[A Nerd]

I'd be sad if TW ended! A competetor would definately be looked into. I was hoping they would go back and redo some old titles like shogun and rome.

[Crazed Rabbit]

If I get the hankering for a TW style game, I know where to go.

There are plenty of places that TW could go that it hasn't yet.

My fear is that they keep releasing horribly buggy versions with poor design decisions (star forts...) & sales keep dropping until they just stop with no competitors.

It'd be not so bad if someone released a decent quality competitor series about the same time.
But there is a good reason that nobody really has come anywhere near to making a competitor to the TW series: Its an astoundingly massive & complex undertaking.

I don't think Total War will end without going back to Sengoku Jidai.

Our yari cavalry will thunder across the plains of Yamato once again!

Banzai!

There is still the American civil war (1860s), which will probably be next (American Total War).

And China's three kingdoms civil war (220 to 265), that is rich in possibilities.


But my personal wish would be that they would go back to the Sengoku Jidai

[Belgolas]

LOL no where to go that is a joke. There are hundreds of possibilities of a next total war with out doing a single repeat. You need to brush up on your history. There are dozens of time periods in Asia alone. Same with Africa and the Americas. Europe/mideast has so many possibilities we haven't even done 1/100th of the possible time periods/regions that would be interesting.

My only prayer for the Total War series is that the next time period is FAR FAR FAR away from gunpowder as I think it is realatively boring. Hopefully they get away from Europe after NTW. Asia would be so interesting in almost any time period as you have vastely different culters/armies/weapons/technology/fighting styles/terrain type/government types/etc. With an Asia Total War you could have the Indians/Chinese/Japanese/Koreans/Mongols/Persians/Northern Russian tribes/ and all sorts of nations.

Man, I wish they would go back and redo with the new improved graphics. But there is still a part of me that likes Shogun the way it is..

[oz_wwjd]

I really wish they'd go back and re-do MTW so it would work on the newer Graphics cards. If they did that..

[Royce]

You might see Total War Battle of the Blue & the Grey (American Civil War). Spanish American war maybe, just a couple of thoughts.

[totalwarfreak]

I would be disappointed if TW ended but I would take a look at the competitor if there was one but right now I'll think positive.

[unseendeath]

I wonder if they will have a modern warfare total set in WWII or even present day?

[edyzmedieval]

With S2TW on hand, and some great online memories, I wouldn't want Total War to ever end...

That is how I feel. It is a great game series.

If it ended now, I think the strategy game field will never be the same.
