More factions, more researching, more units, far more skinning work, more complex game mechanics and the fact that many people were still working on EB in the early days. Take your pick.

Re: the OP I'd say RTW2 would be the obvious choice as it was one of their most sucessful games.

edit: looks like Tellos beat me to it

Ok lets go off topic to talk about flowers real cool guys real fricken cool.

If they make a rome 2 they beta make it more realistic, they must have been inspired by what u guys did with EB, i cant belive they havnt announced nothing yet because before every other game has been out theve announced the next in line. If its shogun im gonna see my ****

I'd much rather discuss English grammar and vocabulary usage, since it is clearly far more interesting a topic to discuss.

Some might be dissapointd in a STW2 that uses the new campaign map like everything after MTW considering how well those games worked and how some think they were the best in the series. Personally, I would like pretty much anything because I have enjoyed all of the titles. I just hope it's more moddable, especially after playing some of the talented mods out there.

My guess is that they'll go for Rome 2: Total War. It was an extremely popular title and probably the most popular historical time period they've ever done. I also believe that if they do make a Rome 2: Total War, it will be much more historically accurate than the first Rome. Not up to EB standards, to be sure, but definitely better than the original Rome; because that was the low point for the series in terms of historical accuracy and they actually do seem to be making much more of an effort towards historical accuracy in Napoleon.

As for what I'd most like to see, it wouldn't be Rome 2. EB2 will already fill that niche fine for me. I would love to see a Dark Age: Total War, like Hannibal Khan said. They've never really done that time period, other than Viking Invasion, and that was only of Scandinavia and the British Isles. A full Europe/Middle East campaign in this period could be very interesting.

I would be curious to see if an Americas TW would work, ie. pre European contact. But I'm not sure how much literature is available to really make an accurate game. Also what's everyones thoughts on an Indian TW, each kingdom vying for power with elephants being more readily available weapons!

I think they'll probably stick with gunpowder and do the American Civil War or something. That's my guess. I doubt they'd go back to ancient times yet.
