As you go along you need to make careful choices about your career path and depending on what you do depends affects you end up in the Legion, either as a Centurion in the infantry, a cavalryman, part of the artillery team or dead. Unlike Spartan Total Warrior the game would be historically accurate and would require you to perfect the everyday routines and combat skills of a legionary. Depending on when the game is set alters the ending of the game. For example if it is set in the Second Punic Wars the game ends with you victorious as Cannae or if it is set during the reign of Trajan you finish the game in Dacia.

How does that sound?

Sounds good, but it will be better in late republic if you start as young patrician eqvites first, you can try to got popular support by down to earth, dismounting when in a battle, fought shoulders to shoulders with your comrades, and end up being a popular general, or fed up your honour, fought at the horseback, promoted to command ranks, and grows to be feared leader, that planned all the fight behind his desks, and leave the dirty jobs to your lesser men...

What about the crisis of the third century? You could support the ruling emperor or decide to try your luck with a self-proclaimed emperor.

Or a totally new game. Women Total War, the whole game would be about half-nude chicks fighting in the mud.

That should be one of the poll options.

How about DLC: Total War?

World War 1, anyone? Or maybe Assyria Total War?
Those are both historical periods that are sadly neglected...

As there has been said earlier, how will you implement the long distance artillery, the trenches and the dawn of war aviation.

U-Boats would be nice though!
