What if TW ended...

[al Roumi]

Frankly, whatever comes next from CA would do well to be detailed, pay some sort of heed to historical accuracy and of course challenging and stable.

A return to Rome would be ok, if done with a broader and deeper view of the civilisations of the time (less focus on the romanii for a start please), but I agree the the Chinese 3 kingdoms period would be very interesting -mostly because i know very little about it. Sengoku Jidai might offer CA a more manageable chance to reclaim some of their kudos if they were to do it again in style (they shouldn't have to do much more research on the period for one).

i dont see why they can't make a WW1 total war...

Because the whole trench warfare idea doesn't work very well with the current TW engine? If a TW was set during WWI, it would have to be completely reworked from scratch.

As for myself, TW ended with RTW. I played MTW literally for hundred of hours, I tried to get interested in RTW, couldn't before EB and other mods. Same for M2TW, and unfortunately, ETW doesn't allow mod anyway.

i think you are right there though... RTW was the last great game. I enjoy NTW but i bought it for almost nothing... its fun (maybe im less critical cause i never played ETW) but there is little replayability, little variaty on the map and on the battlefield. and diplomacy is kinda impossible. but then again its been a while since i played a seriously good game... i think Company of Heroes was the last one... and now i cant even play that because of stupid internet registration and stuff... so im stuck playing the oldies, CoD2, AoE3, CoH singleplayer, MTW1, RTW and ofcourse FM2007 haha

the historicall accuracy in ntw i think is better than it has been since mtw. atleast there are no real fantasy units (apart from maybe ski troops), and the backup info is atleast moderately detailed and worth the read.
